I primarily use soaps, and get great lather and great shaves. Recently I wanted to try a cream, so I went out to Bath and Body Works and bought some of the Bigelow brand that's made by Proraso.
Initially I was using too much product (I think), and not enough water, but it was creamy as butter and rendered great shaves. What I realized is that I wasn't using enough water. I discovered this tonight...after my shave. There was still quite a bit of lather in my bowl after three passes, so I tossed in some more water and began creating more lather, and dear God the lather that it created, lol.
So my question is, do creams usually require more water than say a soap, or does it just vary from product to product? Just curious and I figured if anyone would know, it would be you guys.
Thanks in advance
