So while reading some posts the other day i came across a gentleman saying he built his lather on his face.. Seemed like a good idea to me so i gave it a try. Well i must say its the best way i have tried so far. i get a great lather and i definitely recommend others trying it. before i was getting a thin lather and eventually it was getting better. However once i started lathering it on my face.BAM.. like a pro... Im hoping this isn't a bad way of doing things because it really solved my lathering issue. Hope it works for other noobs like me out there..
