Lather Shots

[ColorMug]

I have just finished reading every single post in the thread, what a trove of information. I’m looking forwards to seeing what I can do now.

I used my Razorock Plissoft 24mm and Washpool soap again in a bowl tonight.
The first photo is after loading. I was in a rush and the second photo is what I started to shave with. I realised it was too dry, and the third photo is what I was happy with.

Second pic would have been my money shot...or actually some of the yummy lather oozing out of the brush on the first pic

I agree, that shine on the lather is the best sign that you've got it right. (However, that maxim fails with some great soaps that don't obey the rules, eg Meißner Tremonia...)

The photos looked a bit different in person, the second photo really wasn’t that shiny at all, and I didn’t notice the bubbles in the third photo. My main concern was that the lather just seems like glue, like my razor was fighting through it instead of gliding
