Thread: brush technique

I have beem noticing latley when I go to lather, I like to make sure I am bending the bristles just a bit and letting them glide at the same time in spots then pushing the brush just a little into the skin while makeing strokes for the initial lather. Then circular motion.

I think I get a better lather this way and my shaves have been proving it. Just an idea

I suck my lips in and wipe the thick lather over my moustache area and chin as if making a big smiley face. Then I go in circular motions over the the rest of my face and neck. When I use my boar bristle (which I prefer) I get more control and can hold the brush by the handle. When I use a badger hair, I have to hold the brush at the bristles, bunching the bristles closer together for better control.
