4. Work up lather in cup with soap (hot water)
5. Only apply lather to part of face I'm going to shave immediatly
6. A little more hot water on brush and repeat.

The lather isn't even close to the hot water I'm using. Any ideas short of a barber machine?

Thanks.

BTW, I just saw Lynn's tip #3. Haven't tried it yet, but any more ideas?

If you build lather on your face vs. in the cup, then you can drizzle some hot water into the base of your brush between applications.

i have been filling sink with hot water putting the soap and mug in the sink and putting my brush in hot water as well to soak... shower... drain sink and glass add new fresh hot water...make lather..put back into sink full of hot water wait a few min....stir and lather some more and by this time you should have some pretty warm and thick lather going....only apply on your face what your going to shave right away so it stays warm in the sink
