I should first confess that I am very new to wet shaving in general (started last month) so I realize my technique sub par. I have been more or less successfully shaving with a DE for the last 40 days or so and for the most part my lather has been good enough. Last weekend I tried a straight for the first time and I think the lather was way to dry and the blade seemed like it would hop of the face and land a bit further down stoke. It seems that the DE is less picky about how slippery the lather is.
I have been using EJ cream for all of my shaves so far so I really have nothing to compare it with. But since I run out tomorrow... Something will change.
Any tips on how to make my lather a bit more slippery?
Thanks
