Dear Shaving Gurus,

I've been using my fancy hugo boss shaving cream for a while with my straight razor. It didnt feel wet enough though and if I added some more water the cream just vanished, so I went to douglas and bought a soap that was in the shaving area next to all the brushes. The question I wanted to ask is how to get good lather out of this hard soap. Should I lather up by rotating on my face with the brush or use a cup with some water? I tried to just rub the brush over the soap a few times and then on my face but I could hardly get any lather out of it. Also it dried out very fast.

Any help appreciated.

Oscar
