Does going over puck 2 times shave trouble you?

[Valkosipuli]

I have been lathering with brush and soap / cream for a long time and it used to bother me that when using brush i have to go over puck couple of times. I dont think this is because i have too little product as i can really swirl my brush there for like minute and not get three passes. (i can get three pass with creams)

I can always get two good passes, but after that there never is enought for the shave and i have to pick some more soap! (i want big and fluffy lather for every pass) It used to bother me, but lately i just dont care anymore if i have to go over puck 2x times (as the second time i don't need to pick soap so much)

Do you have the same problem? I just fixed mine to not think about it. I dont care anymore if i have to go over soap two times

Lets hear it!

Well it's good to hear that it hasn't bothered you. I do three pass shaves and sometimes have to go over the soap but it in my case it depends on what soap. Pretty much Institut Karite is one that I have to hit one more time every so often.

But I would look into if you have hard water, what brush you're using as well as the soap. Hard water is my situation but I still get great results without adding any glycerin or other products.

I can get thin layer (wich i think would be enought) for shaving, but i never cannot get three big cloudy pillows on my face with only one lathering. With mama bears mama bears i can get it, but i have to put some very hot water to melt some of the glycerin like in the video seen in the Mama bears website.

Going over puck several times used to bother me, but not anymore. I dont know why it even did bother me, as it doesn't really change anything, but makes big deal in performance

I agree with mark that this is soap, brush, and water dependent. I also have hard water.

If for some reason I have taken quite some time during my shave I may have to add a little water for the third pass.

I believe that the only true way to do this right and I mean if you don't do it this way your whole life will be in ruins, "Do whatever works best for you and make you happy ".

"Do whatever works best for you and make you happy ".

great advice.

I have no problem going back to pick up more soap or cream if need be mid shave.
Also you don't need big pillows of lather, sure it looks cool, but is wasteful and messy.
