Do you need to have a brush to lather and apply this soap? Or can you lather with your hands and apply?

In my opinion, you pretty much need a brush. I cannot imagine it working very well just with hands - you really need to whip it up to get the proper, thick lather required to shave with.

I would strongly suggest a brush and mug for this soap. I don't think you can hand lather enough for proper coverage to shave honestly.

You will definitely have a hard time without a brush. It would be possible though I guess. You will just use a lot more soap.

because of the package i always use brush, but guess u can pop out the soap

Aside from the tremendous amount of work it would take to hand lather, and the waste you would go through to do so, you would also get a terrible shave from just smearing soap on your face. You need a brush to build the lather, as well as work it into your face. The bristles help to work the soap under your hair and exfoliate your skin.

That's what I heard, but honestly it doesn't make that much of a difference lol I ended up buying the brush later on, but the brush was so soft that it seriously doesn't make a difference when applying it by hand. Also the shopping for the brush is so now worth it lol so just stick with applying it by hand, well if you like

I don't quite follow, but I'll try and explain. It comes in a plastic container that functions as a shave bowl. Therefore, the soap can only be used if one has a shave brush to lather it up (i.e. you can't rub it on with your fingers). It does produce a great lather though, and I do highly recommend it.

You want to rub your brush directly into the soap in the tub. It'll whip up a ton of lather really easily.

Just regular liquid hand soap, you add water to that and then it forms foam soap :)

At first , you will use too much. As you get more experienced, soaps will last longer. I use this particular soap regularly and it has lasted me several months, perhaps 6 months, and I still have a lot remaining. It lasts a long time. makes a good slick lather and smells nice. I think it smells like roses. Very subtle, very pleasant. Good shaving soap. Adding a SMALL amount of Nivea shave cream in a tube to your lather makes it EXCELLENT......

You use it as you would a regular bar of soap. It lathers really good. And for the face just make sure the water is Luke warm after washing bc it would make your face feel dry and be sure use a moisturizer afterwards

This soap is great. It lathers up well. You will need a good brush and a brush stand. You will need a little bigger shaving bowl to get the wrist action going to whip up the lather.Shave in the shower for a real close shave. Hope this helps.

Lather in a bowl. This soap is quite thick, and needs a couple drops of water to lather. Basically what I do is take a dry shave brush and whisk it around on the soap until I get a decent amount on the hairs. Then I get a wide coffee mug, put enough water in it so that just the bottom of the cup is covered (shouldn't be more than a little water!). Then I swish the brush with soap on it in the mug for about 10 seconds or until it builds a nice lather!

It does lather a little...not like soap though. I and my daughter have very sensitive skin and it leaves our skin feeling soft and hydrated. Our skin is never left feeling "squeaky" clean or dry with this cleanser.

That's how I do it. I rub cleanser on my face using my hands and then I get the brush wet and wash my face with it. Then I just rinse off the brush head really good until it's not slippery or slimy feeling anymore.

Just use it like regular soap. I don' t buy store brand soap. I use this black soap. It lathers up well.

I use regular liquid hand soap; works great. Follow directions for proper amounts of soap & water. Can't believe how economical it is! Great product!

Is is not necessary to use a brush, that is up to you. I use a brush for deep cleaning from time to time. I love the smell of this product, it smells like white tea. Over time you will notice your skin cleaner and healthier.

That is a good question and I do not know the answer. Maybe you should contact the seller who made this soap and ask them. Best wishes.

You'd have to shoot the soap onto something and then smear it around with the brush. Dispenser doesn't even touch the bristles. Once you smear it around it works Ok, but stiff bristles aren't great at holding the soap IMO.

This is a solid style soap you cannot spread it by hand you will need a brush.
