I really struggle to make a good quantity and good thick consistency of lather in a bowl from Cream. Whatever i do i fail to get enough in there. I use large amounts of cream (certainly a lot more than an almond size dollop!), more water, less water etc etc but i fail to get a satisfying lather a lot of the time.
I just used Henks no 5 for the first time tonight and after reading how other members got loads more lather with this than normal i was expecting big things! Dont get me wrong i am not blaming the cream as i still had a smooth shave with it and it smelt and felt great afterwards, i know it is down to my technigue, or lack of it!
Anyone want to share any tips, did you guys have similar problems when you started and if so what changed in your methods that helped improve your lather?
