I usually face lather and get consistently good results at this point.

However, when I get a .5 oz. or less sample I’ll smush the soap down into a thin, even layer using one of those collapsible slow-feed pet bowls. Every time I get a foamy bullshit lather.

I’m unsure how to get an equally wet and slick lather with the bowl. Do I just need to keep adding water? Move to the face sooner? Give up and grow a beard?

      I just tried a smooth (bamboo) breakfast bowl. I’m not sure whether it’s the material or the ridges, but I get a thicker lather faster in my Yaqi bowl, FWIW.
