Thread: Horrible lather

I've seen that video countless times. Now that I actually think about it, maybe the lather I get isn't the culprit. I find it fairly difficult to spread the lather onto my face. Whenever I get to it, the lather is nice and creamy, but if I try applying the it with circular motion the lather starts collecting on the sides of the brush rather than my face. In other words, the brush is collecting the lather instead of spreading it. To spread any decent amount of lather on my face I have to do a painting motion as if my face was a wall.

Watched it over and over again XD Burned it in my retinas. I've tried the hand technique in the video and the cup technique in the video, but I'm wondering if maybe generating the lather on my face would give me a better result. I'll have to wait a while as I've nicked myself twice today and don't want to open up the cuts again XD
