Thread: Lather problems

I know the feeling I just got my first GOOD lather a few minutes ago it was a beautiful feeling. I had not been whipping it nearly enough. OH MAN is it good when you get it right!

Is it just the soap as well?

I think so,yeah. I had a thread on here somewhere specifically dedicated to finding out if Williams sucks for everyone, or just me. My thoughts are that hard water really contributes to the problem. "Watery" is a good way to describe it. Try more soap, and/or the above excellent method.

Good luck

Funny you should say that. I have been dying to try Glen's Wiki method here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/srpwiki/index.php/Making_%C3%9Cberlather

Went out today, bought a tube of Proraso and a bottle of glycerin. Just got done shaving a while ago. I added too much water initially, but the second time.......yes, it is good when you get it right!

hey holmes, you got to go check out Jockey's lesson on lather. He has indirectly and directly given me the best pointers about everything. A true Master and a real Mensch.

While Kaptain's method sounds like badger abuse, I'm eager to try it tomorrow...if I can wait that long.
