  1. I didn’t notice a significant difference in using this technique compared to what I usually do. Of course I hold my soap at a 90 degree angle to the surface of the counter so I wasn’t completely fighting gravity to begin with.

  2. Well, I tried this out with my new Valobra Fougere softsoap this morning. Some amazing lathering there….nice one!

  3. This tip comes in just as I was headed for the shower.

    Using a Body Shop synthetic with Proraso cream, the upside down method works like a charm. The cream really gets into the brush and works up as advertised. So amazing and so very simple. Thank you, sir.

    This goes on the refrigerator, along with:

    *double edge from wet-shavers.com recommending to hold the razor at its center of gravity and let the blade find its way

    *I don’t remember who spoke with an authentic Turkish barber who lets the skin roll in front of the blade for a closer cut.
