Cream, croap or hard soap — pick your latherFormat, base ingredients and skin type
Creams are softer, load faster onto the brush, more forgiving. Hard soaps take longer to load but reward with tighter, longer-lasting lather. Croaps sit between — the modern favourite for many wet shavers.
Tallow-based soaps are the traditional gold standard for slickness and cushion. Vegan formulas (shea, coconut) can match tallow if well-formulated. Sensitive skin: fragrance-free, minimal essential oils.
Denser brushes (synthetic, high-density) load hard soaps efficiently. Softer brushes suit creams better. Face or bowl lather works with all formats — start with what feels natural.
