Shaving Cream Swirl

Ok great, you can shape the lather with the rim...perhaps use your fingers to create the swirls? There are no rules ya...
1 point to remember is those luscious-looking swirls can only be created provided the lather is creamy and hydrated...
If the lather is foamy...no swirls
If the lather is too runny...no swirls
Good job and keep it up...
Hey @Caber...here you go, a short video on how I create the lather swirl... it's my first attempt and I know the angle and all is not very good so you can laugh at it...
I had some restrictions due to the camera angle, normally I do it at the chest and higher level with the bowl on top.
You can see swirls and all...just to keep the video very brief...not perfect since I'm camera shy and my hands are shaking...not a good thing since I am shaving with a straight...
The shave gears I use for today's SOTD...
Hope this helps...and yes, you can laugh...

@Chard52142- Very nicely done my friend! Thanks for sharing you technique. And, there I was thinking you face lathered the whole time, puckering your lips to form the peaks. No wonder it wouldn't work for me

Thanks, guys...hahaha!
I do face lather too...it's 50-50 between face and bowl and no, I won't show a video of my ugly mug shaping the lather...

Looks like a Southeast Asian soup spoon.
Hey, thanks for asking. It's just part of a mini travel/picnic box cutleries set...I like it for the size and the nice non-slip grip...

Thank you very very much! This helps a lot! I was really close to doing it right but I see a few things I need to correct.Hey @Caber...here you go, a short video on how I create the lather swirl... it's my first attempt and I know the angle and all is not very good so you can laugh at it...

thank you again !
@Chard52142 that is next level wizardry. Whole. 'Nother. Level.
Hey, thank you very much...just enjoying the process...
In case you are having issues with how to create the lather swirl...perhaps consider getting this...
good enough
Finally got a new brush. @Chard52142 I'm but a humble apprentice willing to work for lather.
Hey, looking good indeed! Keep it up...well done!!
Still practising after watching the videobut not being the same effect.
I think that my lather might be too stiff. I will give it a few more goes.
Does it matter what kind of brush you use? I have been using a boar brush.

Hey, it does not matter the kind of brushes...I've used badgers, boars, and synthetics without issues...
The point is the lather has enough water to be creamy but not too much where it'll get runny...or worse, foamy...
Remember...your fingers can help too...
I just let my ARKO do its own thing! But the pics here look nice!
