As a very inexperienced DE Shaver, I bought some original Proraso as its supposed to be an easy one to lather. A Smogue 620 brush quickly followed. I wasn't happy about the lather I was creating, so went on You Tube to get some Video advice. Apparently there are two methods most commonly used for creating a lather
1. The Wet
2. The Dry
The Wet method I thought I had tried, so went for the dry method, i.e soften brush in hot water, squeeze out all the water to leave the brush damp and a couple of sprinkles on the shave soap and away we go.
I have to say it was the best shave I have ever had, oh and one more thing, the advice you guys gave about hardly any pressure on the razor was spot on. My neck is now smooth and isn't sore one bit.
What are your methods and tips for a decent lather.
What method of lathering do you use.
