When making lather, how much is too much water? You may be able to use more water than you think. I've been conservative in my approach, but always produced a satisfactory, full-bodied lather that maintained its consistency throughout the shave. This morning I made a mistake in my routine and made a surprising discovery.
Here's what happened. Removed my soaking brush its bowl. Dumped the water and added the normal amount of Proaso cream. Picked up the brush and started making lather. Realized I had not squeezed excess water from the brush. It was really wet and the cream exploded into a bowlful of light, foamy lather. It looked like a bubble bath. Kept on swirling and the lather settled down into a wonderful, creamy, shiny product that made for a great shave.
So today's lesson learned is that tipping point for additional water may be higher that you thought. Healthy lathering and happy shaving, everyone.
