Taylor of Old Bond Street Cream
Hello Gang. I just received my order of TOBS St James. I haven't used a cream like this before and was just wondering if ya'll scoop out a little bit and put it in your shaving bowl (as I would squeeze an almond size bit of C.O. Bigalow) or do you swirl your brush on top the same as with soap (although much lighter and less of course). Thanks.

Hello, Kempster:
I, too, do a little swirling. Don't forget, you need only a small amount of cream.
Either way, work with shave cream in any way you feel comfortable.
Regards,
Obie

Ladies and gentlemen,
I face leather. When using cream, this is my method:
I lightly squeeze and shake much of the water from the brush. By doing so, water is prevented from building in the cream tub. I then swirl the brush lightly in the cream tub and picked up a small amount of cream.
After applying the cream to my face, then I start adding tiny bits of water as I move the brush in a circular motion on my face until I build perfect lather.
If making lather in a bowl, I would use the same method, instead adding a little water at a time to the bowl until I have built up a luxurious lather.
This method has worked for me quite well. It might work for you, too.
Regards,
Obie
