Using a Vulfix super badger brush. As for the amount of water, I have found a good balance for how much to get a useable lather. I add a dash of hot tap-water to the bowl with the soap and fill the sink with water and soak the brush before I shower. When I'm ready to make up the lather, I will run the brush under the tap to get it as hot as possible, then give it a couple of light shakes and go to swirling it in the bowl. After the lather has set up, I'll quickly run the brush under the tap again just to pick up a little more water if the lather is too dry or thick. If I use any more water, the soap is is too thin (runny) to make a useable lather.
I have experimented with this soap a good bit which is why I'm looking at others like MB's.
Thanks for the feedback!
