i just tried today to paint on my lather instead of the old way of face lathering by splaying the brush. is there a way to get a thicker lather without splaying., i got a nice yogurt looking lather by painting on but it was rather thin and less slick than usual. can i suppliment for that by using a preshave oil or soap? im not wanting to splay and swirl the brush cause with some of my soaps that causes more irritation than what its worth
