I currently have a Rooney 1/2 in super that I acquired here on B&B through the BST. Great brush, and doesn't shed at all.
I use both creams and soaps and I've recently gotten into using soaps, and the Rooney excels at this.
I have been watching various vids into my foray into straight shaving and notice the guys who lather have copious amounts that they are able to effortlessly get onto their face. I bowl lather, and when I try and do this, particularly after the first pass I have to squeeze the Rooney to be able to extract lather. I've tried swirling the brush on my face to encourage lather, and while it does, once again its at the bottom of the brush.
Also after squeezing the lather out, placing it back on the brush, the brush simply seems to remove the volume of lather from one part of my face to other with each paint stroke? (hope that makes sense, it simply relocates the lather volume without leaving it from where I originally started)
However I'm curious to find out if a slightly floppier brush would cure this? Or is it my technique?
If a slightly floppier brush is the consensus can you please offer a recommendation? Or if its my technique can you please offer me some tips?
Thanks
