    Certainly my stropping technique needs improvement

    I know - practice and more practice

    I take on board my Lather making needs work
    I'm still experimenting with what works and what doesn't

    On pre-shave oils I am holding off buying one right now
    I seem to have a problem with the oil I have now really killing off my lather
    So looking to change one thing at a time and see what works

    I know of a couple of Aussie SRP members not too far from me
    May need to see if one of them can mentor me a bit
    Something to work on anyways

    Cheers for now
    Rick
    I experimented yesterday with a drop or two of 'personal lubricant' as suggested in one of the forums here and it worked a treat - much more glidey (?)
    I used MFS, Frank's Finest brush and my latest razor yesterday and I want to shave again today, but I can't (no stubble and only one cut!!)
    I hope this helps. PM me if you want to catch up, not that I feel qualified to mentor you, but some discussion could uncover a BFO FWIW

    Hang on and enjoy the ride...

    I just told SWMBO about Personal lubricant in shaving lather
    She thinks I'm nuts ... She's right I'm gonna try it

    Chances are they would use your blood for lather

    If your lather seems slick on the first pass, consider rinsing your face with water before putting on the shaving cream for the second pass. I find this often helps with the second pass. My face is often a bit dry by the time I finish my first pass.

    Happy Shaving!

    Tried this with my shave yesterday
    It certainly helps a bit
    and a little more water in the lather helped too
    Ahh the fun of learning the ropes

    Thanks for the tip
