Relatively new to wet shaving and having a lather problem with shaving soap; OK with TOBS shaving cream, however.
I've tried by Proraso and Col. Conk shaving soaps using a synthetic brush. After watching and reading a lot of tutorials I think the lather I create is acceptable and looks pretty close to what I get with TOBS sandalwood shave cream and cream from Rockwell Razors that came with my razor. The problem is that the shave soap lather dries out after just a few minutes on my face. I can get both cheeks shaved, but by then the lather on my mouth area is drying out and after shaving around my mouth, the lather on my neck is pretty much gone.
Any thoughts or tips on what I'm doing wrong and how I should correct this issue? Thanks in advance.
