Phase 1: Lather NEW PICTURES!

Phase 1: Lather

You wouldn't build a house on a foundation of sand would you? Well, the same concept applies to achieving a great shave. We're going to cover the secret to a great shaving cream lather here!

                                                    STEP 1

Get your stull together! Your brush, cream, oil and a nice bowl.

STEP 2   

Run that brush under some hot water! Soak up all 

those bristles. Don't be an idiot and pour boiling water on it either. Get it all nice and hot. Tap it off a little bit. Keep it moist but not dripping wet.

STEP 3

You're going to want to put about a nickle sized amount on the brush now. Keep the tube clean and wipe it on the brush. This saves product and keeps the tube cap neat and tidey!

STEP 4

Start swirling the brush around in the bowl. Above, this is after about 3 solid swirls.

 

Start mixing....

Get all those bristles saturated and covered with your lather.

STEP 5

Your product should look like this. Nice and smooth and fluffy. It's not too watery and not to thick.

 

STEP 6

Put that brush in the bowl and get ready for the next phase.

Some people like to keep their lather as hot as possible. I set it on a hot washcloth throughout the next few steps.
