geruchtemoaker,

I too have had problems making really good, moist lather, but I may have overcome that problem today.

I made my first uberlather today. It really filled my shaving bowl, held to the brush and my face and stayed moist the entire time that I was shaving.

The following is my technique:

After soaking your brush in the shaving bowl or bathroom sink w/ hot water, empty the water from your bowl and shake the excess water from your brush. Then use your slightly moist brush to create some lather on your brush with a puck of shaving soap. The soap needn't be expensive.

Second, place your brush in your shaving bowl and add some of your favorite shaving cream and 3-4 drops of glycerin, which you can get from any drugstore.

Mix the above ingredients well with your brush for approx. 40-60 seconds. The result ought to be a rich, moist, luxurious shaving lather.

Take care...
