I guess this is a 2 part question, may need to post in the Noob Shave clinic as well.
I purchased a Semogue 1305 as my first brush and am about 5 shaves in.
I am bowl lathering Proraso cream. Now I am able to get a nice rich lather in the bowl, but that where is kind of ends.
Once I start to lather my face I notice most of the lather ends up at the bottom of the brush. Nothing stays towards the middle part at the head of the brush.
I need to twirl the brush and wipe the lather on my face and then use a painting stroke to apply. I am finding the brush splays quite a bit.
Is this normal?
Will it change as the brush breaks in?
I am thinking my technique is wrong, but any advice would be appreciated.
(mods, feel free to move to correct forum)
Thanks in advance
