Yeah, I've really enjoyed the B21 so far. I think this is my third use of it but it was well broken in when I got it.

I'm on the fence about whether I prefer this over my Omega 10048. I thought the shorter loft would be miles ahead, but there's a part of me that quite enjoys the floppy 48.

There isn’t usually soap left when I rinse the bowl, but regardless I suspect you’re right that the nubs are just getting in the way.

I add water a bit at a time, mostly using my brush to bring water into the soap.

I lather for 3-5 minutes, but still get a pretty airy foam.

I think y’all are onto something with the bowl recommendations. I’m going to try something smoother next time.

 

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?
