New "trick" improved my lather
I'm using an Omega synthetic shaving brush like this:

I've been using it for a month or so, and it makes a really smooth lather.
Yesterday, I thought I was done with my shave, and so I squeezed the cream out of my brush (choke it at the bottom of the brush and pull upward.) I noticed I missed a spot or something, so I put that cream back into the bowl and swirled it up again. The result was a thicker, richer lather. So I did the same thing from the beginning this morning, and it made a great lather.
Just thought I'd share!
