How do you guys apply lather under your nose? Apparently my upper lip is dainty or my nose is far too big, cause either I end up with unlathered mustache-area, or I stick the damn brush so far up my nose I sneeze, and blow all the lather into the mirror - so I have to start again!
I recon I could paint some on with a tiny brush, but I already feel feminine enough what with all the scents taking up room in the bathroom...
Seriously though, how do you do it "properly"?
How about left to right instead of up & down?:hmmm:
You know you don't have to not lather your kisser, right? :)
Seriously though, just keep your trap shut and slather the lather right over your mouth up to your nose. At least that's what works for me.
This advice works the same for me. Often I wind up with a bit of lather in my nostrils, but it's less tragic than one might think. ;)

Suck your lips in. This will stretch your snot catcher. Apply. Some might get in you snock, just pinch nose and pull down. It will wipe it out. If that doesn't work, grow a porn stache.
Finally some real help :)
Thanks, I'll try both those things tomorrow morning. Well, five hours from now really... Crap...
You could just reach into your lather bowl with your fingers and apply.
You could grow a mustache . Even with a mustache I lather over top and trim above it like the old Clark Gable style (do a google search if you haven't heard of him;-) As far as how I do it ..... dunno ... never thought about it . :thinking:. I just do it .:shrug:
I push with one finger on the side of the bristles untill the knot splays out into a kind of paint brush shape then apply away. It's difficult to explain what I mean, but I saw it on a utube video and have been using it ever since (don't remember which one but may have one of been mantic's)
I was lol'ing at the title of this thread and people were looking at me at work! :)
You want to be doing circular brush strokes to help lift the beard hairs up and out of your skin. I go with circular motions all over my face, including my nose/lip area. I know what you mean by getting the lather up your sniffers, but others have suggested the right way to clear it out and I tend to agree - do that before and after the shave for best effect. Also remember to wipe this area clean when you are doing your post shave rinse all over your face.

If not snot rocketing the shaving cream out of your nose is always fun, just don't use one with menthol.
Tried gripping the brush and the "improved soap-excising from nasal cavities method" this morning, and it worked far better. I still sneezed, but with time I'm sure it'll get better ;)
Thanks for all your help!
When I shaved this morning I took note of how I lather under my nose and the answer is that I don't. I come over from each side on top of my mustache without actually going under my nostrils.
