So for the past few shaves, my lather's been drying out and I've been having to moisten it back up whenever I rinse my razor. I can see it crack and dry, and I make sure to apply a decent layer. I am getting better at lathering, there's a guide around here that mentioned soaking one's brush and soap. That and my acquisition of a copper bowl made a big difference. I aim for a slick yogurt consistency.
I've been shaving lately with warm water, still using Stirling pre-shave and shaving soaps. I'm thinking a culprit might be the brick of Stirling's pre-shave soap I'm trying out, had this dry lather issue just about every time I've used that pre-shave in my routine.
Thought it might be caused by an environmental issue, my bathroom's in a basement and the only form of moisture management down there is a dehumidifier running 24/7. Though I've been shaving for months now and this issue has only started recently.
Any ideas/suggestions on how I can deal with this situation?
