Letting it soak in

Hey all,

I read FUD's thread about truck stop shaving (that just sounds uber manly...like something Justin would be into...) and decided to try something different.
I lathered up my whole face and shaved my neck (and got all five hairs there) and sideburns/cheek. Then I rinsed those areas and reapplied lather and went for the second pass on those area only again.
Then I rinsed and reapplied lather to my upperlip and chin (third layer of lather there) and finally took the blade to it. The results were astounding, I had a much easier time shaving the brillo pad fibers I call hair.
Hopefully it wasn't a one time thing. Just thought I'd share in hopes that it helps someone else.

Brendon,

Do you mean you rinsed your face off or just the razor, before applying the next round of lather?

oh, I see how it could be confusing. I rinsed my face, but left the lather on my upper lip and chin to let it surround my hair with moisture.

For a couple of my fledgling attempts to conquer those problematic moustache and chin areas, I did the opposite: I first shaved (kinda, sorta, tried to shave :roflmao) those two areas thinking if I did them first, my concentration would be better and consequently the results would also be better. Didn't work. I'm trying your way next. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the clarification. One more question - while your shaving your neck, and leaving the lather on your upper lip, do you find it dries out before you apply the next coat?
