I am a face latherer. I have tried using TOBS Avocado several times. It always goes on very thick. So thick its pretty much useless. I don't get a close shave at all. I have used it with my face dripping wet and that doesn't seem to help. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Thanks.
TOBS Avocado face lathering conundrum

Less cream? More water? I dont have this problem, it works well for me and I solely face lather.
storer50,
I use a dollop about 1/2" x 1/4" x 1/4".
Add water and make the lather gently until the lather is the consistency of lightly whipped cream (still a bit floppy); do not beat lather vigorously as this will incorporate too much air
Have fun !
Best regards

I find that I need less TOBS cream than some other creams I've used. A little goes a long way. You'd tried adding more water already; now try less cream.
I've only bowl lathered Avocado, but have noticed it takes a little more water than average, and the lather is thicker, slicker, and possibly heavier because of its dens. Maybe it won't whip up into a lighter, fluffier lather like some creams do?
I've tried to leg lather with TOBS avocado and found it very hard to lather even though I could bowl lather it no problem. I only tried twice and then just went back to using it in a bowl.
it has worked very well for me, with a very small amount and using a wee scot...tons of lather and a great shave

I thought that drove out the air. When I just start lathering, the air bubbles are gigantic, making the cream absolutely useless. Then I whip up a good hearty lather over a minute and a half or two minutes of constant mixing, and come up with a great lather.
I have had the sma e thing happen when I first started. If you do not have enough water mixed in , you will have a painful shave. When I use TOBS cream , I take a small amount of cream out , soak it underwater in the sink in my closed fist for a couple of seconds and then I palm lather it. I have found face lathering too messy when using creams . I always face lather with my soaps.
Dip the very tip of your brush into water a TINY bit. Resume face lathering. Repeat if necessary... until you feel the creamy consistency you seek
