Looking for some pointers in the proper use of shave sticks.
I like the idea of a shave sticks and picked one up for travel. I had my first shave with it this morning. I’m normally a bowl latherer.
The shave was pretty good but there were a some areas that could be improved.
1. Applying the shave stick was not very pleasant. It seemed to stick to and grip my face during application. I started with a damp face and dipped the stick in the sink to add water. Is there a better way?
2. I got a bit of water dripping out of the brush during the initial lather building. Is it advisable to start with a dry brush?
3. I plan to use the shave stick for travel with the intention to create a more compact travel setup. Where do face latherer park their brush during the shave? I set the brush bristles up on the counter but got lather running down the handle. I’m the end I put it bristles down in my shave bowl as usual.
Any tips and tricks in relation to the use of shave sticks would be appreciated.
