    Default No time for the brush what do you do.

    I have been playing with this one for years. There is always that time when building a great lather which takes time or you rush it and the lather sucks anyways. Well today I think I found the cure. You name a brush less and I have tried it and even the $$$ ones. Some are OK Baxter will work in a pinch not bad but better with a brush. Aveda not bad. etc. Today I tried something new. Proraso Pre/Post a thin layer rub in well but enough used so you still see it. Then topped with Proraso foam. Let me tell you guys in a rush this is the answer.

    Thanks for the advice. I've used the Proraso Cream without a brush before. In a pinch, just wetting the face and rubbing some in works, especially if you have some growth going.

    I see. I'm glad there are other Proraso products that work better brushless. I'm a big fan of Proraso, and I'd like to put together a brushless travel kit. I'll have to look into your setup.

    Have you tried Lush Ambrosia? That's my answer. Great for travelling too.

    I've been able to get great lather with my shavemac and just some mama bear's soap lathering on the face w/o scuttle or anything if I want to shave faster. Only takes about 1-2 mins to load the brush and build the lather on your face. Mama bear's soap makes a great lather by itself as well. I'm sure many others do fine too.

    Yes you can but to really get the benefit of a soap you need to work it longer. And for me if I do not have time I look for something brushless

    There was one I tried and for the life of me I can not remember the name but it was great. The down fall that turned me off it was clear. Can not do clear I lose track of where I am at
