Hello everybody,

I am still very new to straight shaving, and I have noticed that my lather (with both creams and soaps) decays and drys during my straight shave. I never noticed this with a DE, probably because I am much more skilled and faster with the DE. Any tips on how to keep the lather nice and thick/wet on the face? I have been just lathering only a portion of my face at a time to keep it fresh while I shave, but I would much rather just lather the whole face at once like I would with the DE. Let me know if you've found this as well/any solutions.

Thanks!
