Face Lathering

Face Lathering
I used to put a bit of shaving cream in a bowl and swirl it around to create a lather. Today, I realized that’s not the way to go. Applying the shaving cream directly to your face and bypassing the shaving bowl is a better option.
Face lathering has 3 main advantages:
- It gives the acids in the shaving cream more time to soften your facial hair
- You save time – face lathering is about 20% faster
- You use less shaving cream
Some people say they can adjust the water content in their lather better if they mix it in a bowl, but for me, face-lathering are no downsides.
So just how do you about face lathering? First, do what you usually do to get ready for a shave. You do take a shower or at least apply water to your face for 30 seconds right? Then, soak your brush, give it a few flicks to remove the excess water, and apply a small amount of shaving cream. You probably just need around 75% of what you would normally need when you make a lather in a bowl. Swirl the brush around your face like a madman and before you know it, you’ll be looking like Santa.
