STEP THREE: Apply Shaving Biscuit onto Brush, depending on the thickness of your hair, apply the appropriate quantity of shaving biscuit onto the brush. Around three-quarters of an inch of cream does the trick in most cases. STEP FOUR: Lather, begin whipping your brush into the shaving bowl in order to get the shaving biscuit into a rich lather. STEP FIVE: Apply to Face, once you have a rich lather, use the brush to apply it to your face evenly. The whole purpose of applying the biscuit is to help in getting a smooth shave, so make sure you apply it thoroughly.
