Background[edit | edit source]
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.
