Then you have a nice foam and you can start applying the foam to your face.

Does your foam still remain very stiff and thick in the shaving bowl? Then the foam needs more water. Therefore, add about a teaspoon of hot water to the foam and beat further until a foam forms that is light and shiny and has a texture that you can compare with beaten protein (or something looser than that).

When you have added too much water by accident, large air bubbles arise in the foam that you can no longer beat. You could now add a little bit of shaving soap or shaving cream, or you can start again. Too wet foam does not shave well and dries out quickly on your face.
