Thread: Build a moist Lather question?

I know - practice and more practice

I take on board my Lather making needs work
I'm still experimenting with what works and what doesn't

On pre-shave oils I am holding off buying one right now
I seem to have a problem with the oil I have now really killing off my lather
So looking to change one thing at a time and see what works

I know of a couple of Aussie SRP members not too far from me
May need to see if one of them can mentor me a bit
Something to work on anyways

Cheers for now

I experimented yesterday with a drop or two of 'personal lubricant' as suggested in one of the forums here and it worked a treat - much more glidey (?)
I used MFS, Frank's Finest brush and my latest razor yesterday and I want to shave again today, but I can't (no stubble and only one cut!!)
I hope this helps. PM me if you want to catch up, not that I feel qualified to mentor you, but some discussion could uncover a BFO FWIW

Now that is a new one to me.

It is an interesting discussion.

I just told SWMBO about Personal lubricant in shaving lather
She thinks I'm nuts ... She's right I'm gonna try it

Which begs the question mate
would you trust one of those maoist types with a straight
Chances are they would use your blood for lather

Hi Geoff

I will give you a call Sunday arvo if that's any good for you
It will be great to say g'day and chew the fat for a bit
Take care for now

Rick

No worries, Rick.
I've just PM'd you my number.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Geoff

Hey Geoff

Thanks for that mate, got it in my phone now
Should be in touch soon - today turned out to be a no go
Sorry about the late notice

Have a good week

Rick

If your lather seems slick on the first pass, consider rinsing your face with water before putting on the shaving cream for the second pass. I find this often helps with the second pass. My face is often a bit dry by the time I finish my first pass.

Happy Shaving!

Tried this with my shave yesterday
It certainly helps a bit
and a little more water in the lather helped too
Ahh the fun of learning the ropes

Thanks for the tip
