Sometimes, extremely hot water can evaporate quickly, especially if yu live ina dry climate. winter is usually the driest time of year. you might want to ease up on the heat just a bit if only at the end.

The same applies for making later. A little more water in the brush will also give you lather theat dries slower.

The other thing you can do to soften those whiskers is give yourself the full towel treatment. That's tree hot towels each followed by lather. This will soften the skin and whiskers completely.

I also have AOS sandalwood cream not soap... the thing is... you whould apply hot water to brush... not HOT HOT water... that will cause the lather to dry pretty quick!

Even amputations can be recoverable if acted upon quickly enough.





Please don't ask me to elaborate any further.

If you're really having a tough time with keeping your lather slick, you can make it up with cold water. The cold water will evaporate more slowly.

Also, you can use more water to make your lather and just make sure you spend more time to whip it up into a firm consistency.

Thirdly, don't be afraid to re-wet the lather several times during the same pass. What I often do is lather up my entire face initially and then re-apply lather to each area to be shaved right before I shave it. This way you'll never be scraping your razor over a dried-out area.
