I then take my brush (heated under hot water and shaken out lightly) and lather up the shave cream I have just massaged into my face, without adding any additional shave cream.
For the first 10-20 seconds of lathering, almost nothing happens, but then....the bomb, it just starts exploding as I lather for another minute or so.
I then immediately shave.
This way, it solves the problem of working the lather into the skin, and gives a nice initial coating to my skin. It also acts like having lather on your face for a few minutes before shaving.
Works great for me, try it out.:tu
