This article explains three different ways of making lather from shaving cream, either tube or bowl.
Contents
Background
I'll try to keep it simple. Here are two different shaving creams, in the tube and in the bowl. Like in a soap lathering guide Illustrated guide to making basic soap lather I'll use a basic pure badger brush (Tweezerman) to create a starter version of making lather.
Fill the bowl full of tap hot water. No need to use a boiling water because it could harm your brush. I like to stand the brush in to water instead of throwing it in. This saves the wooden handle when it doesn't soak in the hot water. Soak the bristles 5 minutes or more to get the proper absorption of water. Now it's great time to take a shower.
Shaving cream (tube)
Here is the option one how to make a lather from a tube cream.
Shaving cream (bowl) and finger dip
