- 1). Put about half of a tablespoon of shaving cream into a clean, dry bowl. Make sure the shaving cream is the kind used for making your own lather.
- 2). Rinse the badger hair brush in warm water. Run your hands through it and wring out any dust or dirt that may be stuck in it.
- 3). Check the consistency of the lather. If it appears to be too thick for your liking, add a couple drops of warm water and mix it up again. If the lather is too thin, add two or three drops of shaving cream. A good consistency of lather is similar to that of whipped cream.
- 4). Apply the lather to your face with the brush. Always remember to rinse the brush with water after using it.
