Hi all,

I have been using AoS shaving creams (the one that come in a tub) for the better part of 5 years or so. I had been using them with my old cartridge. Around Christmas time, I made the leap to shaving with a straght razor and love it and have not looked back.

About a month or so ago I went to a local cutlery shop that is noted for selling and honig razors and high end shaving supplies. I was very willing to be talked into trying some new shaving creams. I fell in love with the smell and feel of both the mint and sandle wood Castle Forbes shaving creams (I also purchased a new brush to upgrade from the AoS temporary brush I had been using previously). I humble asked the associate how I should use the brush to get a lather and apply the newly purchased shaving cream. I was told to use my finger, place a little on my right and left cheeks and chin and used the brush to lather and spread..

Now I know that is probably incorrect, but I have not had the courage to ask the pantheon of shavers here this dumb question...Should I be using a mug to get the later with this product and if so, how much should be put in the mug?

Thanks in advance!!!
Chris
