Add a little water to achieve the right consistency - Feel free to do this several times.
Continue to stir your foam until it is thick and creamy. You should not be able to remove the foam from the side of the bowl when you run the brush over it. Large bubbles are a sign of too much water.

Test whether the consistency is correct
You can test the consistency of your shaving foam by spreading it on your hand in an even layer. When you squeeze your hand together and open again, the shaving foam should still be covering and creamy.

Hang the razor in a stand
Leave or hang the razor to dry so it is ready for the next shave. It is a very good idea to hang the shaving brush on a stand with the bristles facing down, so that all excess water can run off. In this way, you ensure the shape and lifespan of the shaving brush.
