Thread: Help foam

Well, it's a bit more involved than just this foam, or that soap or cream. A lot of it involves face prep, as with any razor. Straight or otherwise. I don't use a hot towel because I like to shave directly after a nice hot shower. However, for a small investment you can get a perfectly acceptable brush. You don't need to spend $150 for a silvertip. Plus you can visit a local import store (or department store) and pick a rice bowl, tea cup, or whatever suits your fancy to hold soap or cream. Look at it this way, for a very inexpensive investment you are going to have the great feeling of putting on your soap/cream with a hot brush. That is almost a religious experience!. I think you are going to find the cost of these two items modest compared to what you are going to spend on hones, strops, and more razors...
