How does your skin feel.......

[Robbo]

.....after your lathered up and took the first few strokes?

I ask as mine feels like trying to run fingers over glass where they would kind of stick and cause a squeak, kinda feel.

The first strokes are fine, but I am wondering if the cream should still leave some sort of 'slippyness' on the skin. Or is my effect normal.

I came about this when I done about 3-4 quick passes over the same small area, buffing? And it seemed very non-slidable on my skin the last few strokes.

Normal? New cream?

it sounds to me like your using too watery a mixture... try using less water in your lather so that its more like a thick paste, and then add very small amounts until it becomes a very thick and stable foam. Just sounds to me like your mix is a bit thin.

It could also be the cream itself of course.

Your lather could be fine when you start pass 1, but become diluted before you come to your buffing steps.
