Thread: Carried away

I would like to take a poll on how many people went for the whole face after that successful area below the dominant sideburn.

Everyone is giving good advice here on the lather. It's like putting water in your engine instead of oil.

I attribute part of the lather problem to innexperience and part to a brand new brush. Bristles were a little stiff. I waited a little too long after my shower too. Sometimes the best way to learn is to make mistakes, and I think I've made a few!

Just try not to learn not to lop off your ear the hard way

That's funny because I ever so lightly grazed my ear and I almost smacked into the mirror.

There's an easy way?

I think I'll avoid either way!

I admit it. Guilty!!

I gotta make all the mistakes i can. I learn better that way. Have some Mama Bears shave soap on the way. Gonna see if its good.

I use the Conk soap and it works great for me. At first I messed up the lather a lot, but with patience and good balance between soap and water, now I lather right all the time. Personally I didn't like the lime scent, but the amber and bay rum instead are my favorites. One thing I do no-matter-what, is to add 4 glycerine drops to the soap just before attacking the cake with the wetted (not too much) brush.... Hope this helps and good luck.

I got a mama bears soap an tried it out. I like the bigger container that it comes in. I'm getting the mix to water to soap down much better in my lathers I can really feel a difference. My improvement on stropping helps a lot too. I did a WTG and ATG shave. Almost BBS! Just have a few more patches to work out. Slowed down a little. Up to 25 min with prep. Gotta get a non-alcohol afterhave! Any recomendations?
