I got my first synthetic a little while ago, but I can never get a good lather from it so it’s been sitting on the shelf unused for months. I tried it again for last night’s shave and again I got a crappy lather.
Every time my lather is thin and runny no matter how much I work it. The volume just never builds. I get fantastic lathers from the same soap with my badger or boar brush, so it must be a user problem!
Is there a specific synthetic technique that I don’t know about? Is my brush somehow defective?
It’s a Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm. I always face lather.
