2025 Eucris Lathering Challenge
- Thread starter EMG06
- Start date
That's where my family heirloom cheese grater went.
18 April
Today I used some grated Eucris with distilled water. Wrung out brush.
Got a good amount of subpar pseudo lather. Adding additional water and it exploded with bubble-bath worthy foam. Still good and slick. Left the foam in the accumulator. We’ll see how much remains when it dries.

18 Apr - Eucris test - Day 4
Puck Load, Palm lather. Synthetic brush
Today I soaked the puck for about a minute prior to loading. Loaded with a damp brush until I felt like it wasn't taking on any more soap. I palm lathered with paint brush strokes to try to get it to take the air out and thicken up. Paint brush application on the face , got slightly thicker, but still not anywhere near a creamy lather. Held up decent on the face, only slight dissipation from where it started. Second pass, again was very lacking and dissipated quickly.

Used the Spider Williams method. Wet my face, rubbed the puck chunk on my face and with a few drops of water on my finger tips, hand lathered. Got fairly good lather.....but it also dissipated as I was shaving. Hand lathering on each quadrant of my face seems to give me enough time to shave before the lather evaporates. This is definitely not a high lather soap.
Another band name for your list.
