Thread: Face VS bowl lathering

My technique for bowl lathering is loading for 30s then whipping it in a mug as fast as I can go adding drops of water as I go. I can build loads of lather this way. Face lathering I can never seem to build as much lather which is probably due to technique as well as my brush, face lathering gets messy too. I build most of the lather in the mug but take time to really work it in to my face.

As my practicing is trying to evolve into skill, I have learned that spending an extra minute or two making lather and another extra moment lathering my face good and "heavy" has been making a better shave.

By "heavy" lather I mean working the lather onto my face and using my brush to try and work the lather "into" my skin.

Since I woke up to this my already good shaves have gotten better. I am still DE shaving but I think this will make my SR. experience better when I have what I need.

Thanks to the many posts/threads that have shared knowledge. My learning curve has been slow and that is on me but the source of knowledge and experience is assembled here. Thanks to all!!
