Greetings all.
I don't get good shaves. I don't think I'll ever get really good shaves but I'm hoping to someday be able to get something other than bloody awful shaves. I'm hoping that improving the quality of my lather will make shaving less awful. I've noticed that in a lot of how-to videos the person doing it will apply lather to their face and it stays in place, looking rich, white and creamy even after several minutes.
I don't get that. I mix up lather and if I don't move quickly it's gone within a couple of minutes. For instance today I mixed up some lather using my Razor Rock synthetic brush in a cup and Tailor of Old Bond Street cream. I applied it to my whole face but by the time I was done with my cheeks (about a minute or so) my neck only had a very light coating of it in place and I had to re-lather. This tells me that my lather-fu is weak, anyone have any suggestions?
