Thread: I'm doing something wrong!

Come on, guys! I was making a bit of a sarcastic joke! I'm not bleeding, so something must be wrong! Jordan, you got it, I think.

Lather-wise, I am dripping hot water into the mug to keep it wet, and it's better than it was. I'm working on it to get better. The soap is Mitchell's Wool Fat soap from Kent's. It works well and really lets the blade glide across the skin.

I'm with Alan on this one -- I find it best
to build lather in a bowl by gradually adding
water. Slowly at first, then more as you go.

eeeehr.. mist the joke... did like the lathering tips though...

When I first started I hated face lathering. I could never get it right. But now that I have good porcelin scuttle, good soap, and good everyting I feel like it would be a shame to have to use my plastic shave bowl. So I started to face lather and now i love it. For me it feels like the way it was ment to be, but it is sometimes a little difficult to get the right amount of water into the lather.
I think I just need more practice.

I'm glad for the tips, too. Thanks, everyone! I plan to try some of them today.
