"You dont need anything fancy". Insta liked the video right there. Keep preaching it
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks man, I've just moved to a DE safety razor and shaving soap (from cartridges and gel) and this is very helpful.
First time i use the brush with soap and you help me a lot, thank you brother!!!
Thanks for watching the video. Glad I could help!
A shaving bowl with ridges is great for making lather ! Definitely worth buying.
perfect, thanks! I just shaved with a safety razor for the first time and had to use a brush and hard soap, and didnt really get a good foam, but now I know how for tomorrow!
I’ve been wet shaving for about a decade, turns out I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time 😂 thanks for the video
I've been doing this all wrong for about 3 years,,,wondering why I can't get a good lather.... smh...
@@hellsplumber34 what did you guys do then i wonder?
Yes a little does go a long way. I haven't bought new soaps in years. I've used the cupped hand method when I left my cup at home works good and keeps the soap warm.
Very useful man just got my first safety double edge razor and needed to know how to use the soap and ect and this helped a lot thx
Finally a good video showing you how to lather! 10/10 thanks for making this
very helpful right to the point thanks
i’ve been trying to search how to lather up a shaving brush as i want to buy one and this video was very helpful. thank you!
Thanks for the info! Very helpful.
Ive been using a dedicated teaspoon to scoop a little bit iut and lather it up in the soap lid 😂. Works alright but this looks way more effective
So once you are done using the soap tin. Do you just set it off to the side? Do you let it air dry? How to do you store this? Sorry if these seem like dumb questions. I am very new to this and just starting to look into it.
I take a small amount and spread it on the bottom of my shaving bowl and build the lather. I don't let water come near my soap container. That way it can't get spoiled.
@@johanhuman4382 I do this with tallow based soaps like Sterling Co but pucks I just throw in and use everyday until it’s gone.
Tried looking everywhere for the answer to this question too 😭😭 feel stupid asking it aswell because I wanna make the switch to safety razors too lmfao
@@jnr804People are overcomplicating the whole shaving process. Only takes a couple of tries then you find the thickness of the lather you like, and the just repeat next time, there only a few things to make it work, soap water and whipping. The you can have to much or to little water. People has been using shaving soap since 18.. something. No magic, just a little practice
Love the video, do you leave soap dish open or rinse off soap and cover? Or leave it open? Thank you.
Awesome, thanks for getting right to the point
Get yourself a scuttle where you can fill it with hot water which will make your lather lovely and warm 😊
I gotta ask what do you do to clean the soap that was all lathered up? I’ve been using toilet paper to clean it up and store it away again. Any better ideas? Thank you for the video and technique!!
I just leave it on the sink to dry out for 24 hours, close the lid, then wipe off the outside.
First time using a straight razor, have a few cuts, but I figured I would’ve lol. Ended up finishing with a safety razor
Should have watch this before i did my first ever double edge razor shave. It turned out fine but the lathering part was not satisfying. Gotta wait a week to do it again😅
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks king!
Soft water works much better than hard water of course.
That’s true, but some people don’t have the option.
Thank you, great video. I just purchased a badger brush. I'm new to wet shaving and I have sensitive skin so I use preshave oil. I checked the information available prior to ordering but guess what? About a third of he way into one side of the owner's care/instruction manual, about half-way down the page it says "DO NOT USE PRESHAVE OIL".
So, what brush should I buy?
Not sure how I missed this comment. You should be able to use any synthetic brush.
I have sensitive skin. What soap or shaving cream would u suggest for me ? Do u know how to prevent razor burns and bumps ?
Don't know about sensitive skin shaving soap but on your second question: Are you already using a safety razor? Multiblade razors can cause a lot of irritation. Using an alum block after your shave followed by an after shave balm can also help with irritation after shaving. Pre shave, it helps to oil up your facial hair to soften it and make it easier to cut.
Hey I have a question I'm new to wet shaving! Do you think its necessary to transfer the lather made with the brush in the the puck to the cup? In other words can I directly put the the lather made in the puck onto my face? Thanks.
Great question. You can directly apply to your face and lather. Typically the cup is to turn a little bit of soap lather into more. The cup is also great for if you want to make multiple shave passes and don’t want to place the brush back on your soap. Usually you’ll still have some lather left in the cup.
You can do whatever you feel like
One benefit for using the brush on your face and lathering it there instead of a mug is that you will also exfoliate your skin, which will make your hair stand up more and bring some extra blood flow to tighten up your skin. It might also help with any dry skin left in your beard if you intend to keep some of the scruff afterwards.
However, if you need to go for a second pass, you will need to apply some more product to your face, so it's a matter of what you like to do as well as how many rounds of shaving you need.
Thanks for the video! Do you have any recommendations on what after-shave products to use?
It really depends on if your looking for more of a lotion aftershave or smell. For a lotion type I like the Pacific Caffeinated, it has a nice light spearmint scent. If you like menthol, there's Cremo Cooling. For the traditional alcohol versions there is Brut Classic or Old Spice Classic. Many of the shave soaps have a version of aftershave as well. If you want something that doesn't burn you can use any version of Thayers Facial Toner.
I can reccomend Taylors of Old Bond Steet - their aftershave gel is amazing as is their shaving creams and soaps. They are an English company. Arianna & Evans are a good US brand.
shave with any bar soap? cut the bar soap up put in a mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, microwave for a minute or so? if it Foam up stop. let cool you just went it to congeal'
place in the sun, until soap hardens Larry
Okay so I'm trying to figure out, what the heck do you do with the original container of soap that you wetted with the brush? Do you just close it up? Do you wipe it down and then close it? Do you let it air dry and then close it? I was using a Proraso tube before but now I have 2 of those plastic containers with the soft soap cake in it. WHAT DO I DO when I'm done with using it each shave?
What I do is just leave it on the counter overnight with the lid off to allow it to dry. The next day I place the lid on and wipe the outside. That’s it.
@@atlasshaving5154 thank you !
This gave me the closest shave I ever had, and as a transfemale I thank you for that.
There was so much left on the side of the tin 😫
Thanks for sharing this information.
do u just rinse the foam out of the soap and close the lid after?
Can I use this soap to wash my small beard or is it only to shave?
This is a traditional shaving cream. Soap is a misleading term here. It doesn’t contain anything that would clean your beard or face. The purpose is apply a fatty lubricant to your face to lift the hair away so that shaving is easier.
Can you use any cup? Even like a kitchen one?
You can, probably better if it's a little wider. Like a coffee mug.
No, if you use a glass cup it will shatter causing a black hole to engulf us all.
Try a Shaving Scuttle
They are nice if you like a warm lather.
Can anyone recommend a good shave brush? I keep buying ones that slowly lose their bristles. It's not a big deal. They're not expensive or anything. I would just like one that lasts.
Have you tried synthetic brushes?
What's your favourite colour?
So it only says to soak the brush for 3. Do you mean hours or minutes?
3 mins hot water, always.
Thanks !!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
what is the point of using your hand as well?
Just an option.
This would have been better without background music. Thanks, though.
where is ur accent from?
North Carolina.
