So I've been practicing my with my feather for some time now. For the most part, I am happy with the results. I can get bbs on most areas. My chin and upper lip are still a bit stubbly when I rub atg, but it's ok.

So, on to my questions and complaints with my technique.

I'm a bit unhappy with my lather. I've used Proraso and Geo F. Trumper and both have the same issue. I tend to make 2-3 passes to complete one shave and I noticed that as I get to my second or third pass, I take longer. Well my lather always dries out on my face while I'm shaving. It gets all flaky. The first pass is no problem at all. Can the lather dry out in my bowl, or am I just moving too slowly when I go xtg/atg?

How do you guys trim your mustache and beard? I'm just starting to grow it out and it is rather difficult to control. Maybe I'm just too new at this so I lack the finesse, haha. But just looking for some tips.

Thanks for any help in advance.
