So I am new to str8 shaving and making lather. On my second shave (3 days from my first str8 shave) I noticed that I could not get the lather right. The lather was dry and sticky. By the time I finished my right sideburn down to the jaw line area, the left side was dry. I tried to add more water, but ended up with a lather that had too much water. I noticed that my str8 kept "grabbing" or not continuous with a smooth stroke. I tried slow strokes with a very low angle (the blade was almost flat on my face). I even cleaned off my face, did a warm wet towel application and reapplied lather three times, all ending in with the same results.
I am using Col Conk Bay Rum shaving soap. I have a Böker King Cutter str8. Preshave routine - hot shower, soaking badger brush, warm towel application and then lather application.
Any ideas to my problem? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
