Hello. I received some great samples that are all shaving creams. I generally face lather and just lather on top of the cream. The samples are too small for this and i was wondering the best way to get the most/best use of samples? Any great recommendations?
Garrys sample cream lathering recommendation?

Bump help?
Smear a dollop on around wet face or throw some on the brush.
I can't see how the samples are too small for face lathering.
just put it on the top of the brush and it should be fine.

My first shave cream came in a jar, and I was nonplussed when I bought some in a tube, but whatever brand it was, said spread a small amount on your jaws and then swirl your wet brush right there, so I tried that, and it worked just fine, although I occasionally would put a dab into a bowl or mug to start. I just used ordinary cereal bowls, nothing special. Other than havng acquired a designated plastic bowl that will not break so easily, I hope, I'm still using cream in tubes the same way, 50-plus years later.
This is my favorite method, even when the cream comes in a jar.

Thanks! Musgo lime and trumpers lime as for tomorrow!
If one of his samples is Castle Forbes, I can see the problem. That one would be tough to dab onto his brush since it's so hard. I had trouble with my sample of that even lathering in a bowl. For the harder samples, someone suggested to me that I smear it around like I was greasing the bowl with butter. Not sure how that would work for a face latherer. There may be some of the harder samples from Garry where you have to resort to using a bowl or mug.
