Using this much cream.
View attachment 1061711
Looking at that picture I think I could still do with using a bit more cream, spread more evenly over the tips. Also, as you said earlier, it's easier to pick the cream up from a full size tub. Still, my trial lather bodes well for the next shave.
It could also be that the synthetic knot just doesnt hog any lather at all.
I was thinking about this very thing today. Are the bristles in a synthetic non-absorbant, holding the water between them? Is this how badger hair behaves? I think I've read that. I'm certain that boar hair is absorbant and so will soak up a small amount of the lather, depending on how well it's been soaked, the quality and type of bristles, etc.
