Thanked: 0Weak Lather
https://youtu.be/XdbWkVyVUDQ
Been straight razor shaving for about two weeks now, but I'm not sure I'm getting the lather I want. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could check the video of my lather above and give me some pointers and tips, or maybe just tell me I'm flat out doing it wrong. The mentor in my area is too far for convenience.
I feel like I'm not getting much lather at all. I'm getting just enough to spread on my face, but it's a rather thin coating. By the time I'm done shaving the right side of my face, the lather on the left side of my face has faded and all but disappeared - to the point where I now have to reapply a couple times mid-shave. I'm not spending an exceptionally long time on one side of my face either.
Basic info: SRD Unscented Soap, Simpson Beaufort B4 Pure Badger Brush, water is hot.
So, how does my process look? Am I missing something big? Pointers and tips? Thanks!
