There are many tutorials out there to make lather but I couldn't find one showing how to face lather with a shaving cream.
This is not the only way to face lather with cream, you can always apply your product on the brush directly and proceed or load your brush from a tub. This tutorial will show you how I build my lather from a shaving tube.
First, you need to have a good prep. A hot shower or Kyle's Prep is perfect. Do not dry you face afterwards.
1-The chosen equipement today is a Muhle Pinsel Silvertip brush and Proraso shaving cream. Note that you do not require a Silvertip to achieve this. A Boar/bristle/Pure Badger/etc. brush will work perfectly. For the shaving cream, I like Proraso.
2-Soak the brush for a few minutes (it could be while you're in the shower or while you do your prep)
3-Apply a small quantity of product on your finger. What you want is a thin layer of product in your beard.
4-Rub into the beard until you spread all the product
5-Repeat step 3 and squeeze a small or smaller quantities of product
6-Repeat step 4 and rub on the other side and throat.
7-Squeeze the excess water out of the brush. No need to squeeze it as hard as you can, I like to half close my fist so the brush retain water
8-With your brush, rub/paint/swirl the shaving cream into the beard. This is after 20 seconds
9-Continue to go in circles with the brush and make sure you are covering the whole surface that needs to be shaved. This is after 90 seconds and it's ready.
10-The brush should contain enough lather for 2 more pass (3 passes total).
