Gentlemen,

I have discovered that my razor glides smoother and easier if I keep my lather a touch thinner and more watery than I am accustomed to. Also, I seem to get a better shave all around, especially going against the grain on the neck.

Using the best soaps and creams within my price range, I whip up a luxurious lather on my face, but then proceed to thin it down a bit. For the final touch up, the lather has been thinned down even more.

Obviously this might not work for everyone. It does for me, since I am plagued by a heavy beard. In the meantime, I continue to experiment with the texture and the density of the lather on my Hollywood face.

Do some of you gentlemen find thinner and more watery lathers preferable? Or am I an oddball?

Regards,

Obie
