I have a question about lather. I'd love to hear your advice.
I am pretty new to straight razor shaving and I've had a problem with my lather. I have 2 creams. Pacific shaving company all natural shaving cream and Bluebeards revenge. The issue I'm having is that it drys out on my face really quickly. I have to reapply lather whenever I switch to the other side of my face. It makes for an unpleasant shave from time to time. Thanks

There are a couple of things it could be.
If your new you might just be taking a really long time to shave so your lather will dry out on face if that is the case.
Or it could be that you are not using enough water in the mix to begin with.
A couple things you can try is making you lather like you have and when you have it where you normally like it add three to five drops of water off your fingers and mix that into the lather. That will most likely take care of not enough water to begin with.
Next if you are just taking a very long time to shave you can try lathering in sections. Lather one side of your face then shave. After that lather the other side and shave. Do that with all three passes. You can do that till you get more proficient and faster at shaving.
