Thread: Trouble keeping my face wet during shaving.

Do you find that the lather has a drying/tightening affect on your skin?
If so, try keeping your whole face wet with water while applying lather to just the area you are about to shave.
If the lather doesn't have a drying effect, just keep reapplying it.

You will probably find the problem goes away as you get better at making the lather and shave a bit quicker. I'm a painfully slow shaver but I don't have this problem any more. Good lather lasts a remarkably long time. Once the mix has enough substance it seems to form a barrier that stops it from drying out.
