    Hi Kevy, I’ve found after many years of loading badger brushes is to bloom the soap with a tablespoon amount of water and agitate with my finger, soak the knot then remove all the water( give it a good Shake ) pour the bloom water into the knot, then start lathering from the puck. The bloom water gives the brush a head start.

    Synthetic brushes really have come a long way. I’ve been wet shaving for over 10 years now, and my first synthetic brush felt like plastic. I have a few synthetics now that you can’t tell the difference between it and a badger. I actually prefer a synthetic now and probably won’t buy another badger brush. I still love my boar brushes though.

    • @kevyshaves4109
      @kevyshaves4109  Год назад +2

      Modern synthetics are great. I seen even Simpson are bringing out some of their brushes with their sovereign synthetic fibres. Boar brushes are still really enjoyable to use. Kevy 😊

    Great shave Kevy🪒🪒 Good go with the R41, a light touch but wielded like a saber with total abandon. It's all about the feel with badger brushes, the better the quality the better the feel when properly broken in. A badger brush being organic needs a little maintenance but gives an exquisite experience in the end. Nice video and results in this shave, barely a weeper and totally smooth. Take care and enjoy!

    Yesss!!!! Two videos in one week and then a comeback after a month 😂😂😂!!! As a postman you know how to push the envelope or move forward 🤣🤣🤣 My favorite preshave of all times is the proraso line with green been the king. R41 not my cup of tea. I have the fatip piccolo haven't used it yet.
    I always bowl lather, never got a problem with a badger, even with the monster the yaqi mocca 26mm.
    Please don't leave us😭😭😭..... again 😱😱😱

  • @nevillefilar5245
    @nevillefilar5245 Год назад +3

    For me a pre shave is essential. I have a close dense sandpaper like beard. It used to be ok but as I've got older it stick to the face like glue, the hairs grow downwards parallel to the face and some in grow . The grit is getting greater as I age too! So preshave soap allows me to push them up against the grain, and Proraso applied after the soap and on top of it works well as a softener. Then I can lather up, on top of the mix described before, and I get great smooth results. I love the videos and banter, keep well and keep them coming

  • @starlodear2987
    @starlodear2987 Год назад +2

    Preshaves do indeed soften the whiskers. They just shouldn't be too oily because oil diminishes the latherability of creams and soaps.

  • @goldensteeltv8546
    @goldensteeltv8546 Год назад +3

    Great shave. It was still a damn easy shave, no matter what you say. Since you’re very much experienced, things still easily went your way in this shave. I’m quite experienced now in my 2 years of shaving, and I’m open to trying anything out there now in the wet shaving world. The Muhle R41 could end up being the fun part of the journey. I meant fun part by saying it was gonna be the best or worst part every wet shaver faces in their journey. We have a lot to go down, so we’ll see what happens along the journey. Have a good one!

    Hola Kevy !!
    Cómo te va ?)
    It is nice to see that the R41 appears again on the scene, I know that it is definitely not one of your Top five but in today's shave it has done its job effectively, I hope you use it more frequently, maybe you can get a little affection for it, the most pleasant part of this world of wet shaving are the experiences that we get with the great variety of products that exist.
    Saludos Compadre !!!

    Lather police's suggestion to avoid unnecessary fines for vanishing lather:
    Try the badger with a US artisan soap, or maybe Lothur. Load near a minute, with a drier brush, add water slowly.
    I don't know much about wet shaving, but this one works, just keep in mind to use the badger with a thirsty soap.

    Kevy, you obviously met the challenge! Based on all the videos that talk about blade feel and aggression convinced me that I would not enjoy the R41. The Rex Ambassador has more than enough aggression for me. Even riding the cap won't give me the kind of close, comfortable;e, nick/irritation-free that I get using my Rockwell 6S.

    Hi Kevy another great episode, I really enjoyed it. I don't know if you have tried or heard of a shaving product company from Canada called "Henri et Victoria" there in Quebec and have an awesome shave soap as well as balm and cologne called "Cognac and Cuban Cigars" it has an awesome scent and lasts all day, they sell small samples of there product for $2.00 cdn each which is how I discovered just how good this product line was. Just thought you might like to know.

    The R41 is a challenge no matter the circumstances. Your choice of utilizing the pre-shave was brilliant to maximize slickness before that Mühle scalpel touched your skin. All things considered, the outcome was well done. My challenging shave would entail the iKon Tech. That head is as dangerous as the R41 any day of the week. Soap will probably be an original label OSP, with a Sharp Star blade. I shudder thinking about it, but it is a tempting challenge.
