so i've recently purchased a new forest 2 band.. it's quite handsome and everything.. but i seem to be having an issue..

with my wee scot.. i soak the brush, wet my face, smear a tiny amount of cream on my chin and facelather.. works everytime.. except.. now with the new forest.. i do the same thing and my cream just vanishes.. i think the brush just eats it.. do i have to use more cream? or is there another answer? i really don't want to use twice the cream if it's not going to actual use.

the wee scot has a 14mm knot, while the new forest has a 22mm knot.. aren't the techniques still the same?
