Thread: Face lathering a shave cream

This is somewhat unorthodox, but I will usually put a dime-sized dollop on my tongue, and lather up in my mouth. I can work up a significant amount of lather, good for 2 or 3 passes easy; I think the equilibrium of temperature helps in some way. While I shave I keep the brush in my mouth to keep the lather warm. Just remember, breath through your nose!

With the lather on yer tongue how do you manage to strop on yer tongue?

That would make an interesting picture! I hope nobody slaps you on the back.
