The most useful lathering video I’ve seen. Clear, concise, informative. Particularly helpful explanation of when to know the lather is ready to use. And a relief to know that the lathering process can be done in a few minutes. Thank you.
I always struggle to get such a thick consistency with whichever soap I use so this tutorial has been a great help. Thanks. And I loved the sound effects 😊.
the consistency of this lather is not thick! the thick lather is not runny or has no big volume like this there is one video i stumbled in which shares the same idea what i think. when you do like this u will never enjoy your shave.
I fill the sink with hot water. mix my soap then let the bowl to float on the hot water with the brush inside. this means on each pass the soap and brush are nice and warm to the skin. I use one of those white enameled pie tins with the blue rim. it float and conducts really well
I prefer the soap and brush👍. I'm usually pressed for time in the morning. Splash my face, wet the brush, a few swirls of brush on soap, then get on with it shaving. Love my single blade safety razor. Zero clogs. I don't need a 5 blade disposable getting clogged w wiskers at $4 each. I'm much quicker with the simple shave.
Just had the kit as birthday present and keen to try. Good to see the lather consistency at the end literally hanging off the brush. So that's what to aim for. Thanks.
Damn i didnt know you had to load and then lather. New to soaps and brushes but in the culinary world this is the exact same concept as whipping cream into soft/hard peaks. I thought you just ran your brush in your soap bar and that was it. Gona try this out 1st time tomorrow as i juat got my brush and van der hagen soap yesterday
Like the tea cup for a soap cup, seems most shave cups are high sided, the tea cup is shallow and wider allowing for for buildup of more lather. Think I'll go find me antique tea cup for the job. Like your "set-up" too. cheers!
Right? I didn't want to watch some random balding guy shaving. "oi here's how you get a lather". Boom, it magically appears. "and that's how it's done". Cool brah
At 33, I JUST got into shaving with a strait razor. Maybe I have too much free time but I actually started doing it because I was bored (and it's just so freaking cool)... But for the life of me, I can't produce a lather like this dude... Have a similar set-up but i'm using Sir Hair barber soap and it just doesn't work!.. I'm literally watching this vid and copying what he's doing and I get just a lil bit of sloppy azz foam. Think I might try that Synergy and see what happens... That was a great vid though. Definitely learned something. Blades don't have to reload!
Holy sh!t! I just looked up that shaving soap and it goes for $90 a can... Whaaaa??? Part of shaving "old school" is it's CHEAP!!! Apparently, I'm simply too poor to shave... Just the B*lls, T*int, and *sshole from now on. Gotta by the cartridges for that, boys. (don't try it with a strait... It will be bloody) They do it for us... Return the favor. Least we can do.
would you mind telling us the name of the bowl and holder along with the safety razor in the video? looks sexy sitting on the counter and great setup. nice video
I need to try out lathering it in a bowl. I'm trying to lather on my face and it just won't lather, next time I shave I'll try using a bowl becouse I've been trying to face lather for a couple months and it's always so watered down that it looks like I took hand soap and tried lathering
I’m not sure if it’s the soap I’m using or what but I can get a lather, put it on my face, it goes on nice and white but by the time I’m about 1/3 done with the shave, it all just kind of disappears and gets sticky almost
You gotta play with the soap to water ratio. I used to think it was about adding more soap but I found I was actually needing more water and more time whipping it if I wanted to get those giant bowls of lather.
What?? I've watched this 3 times.. i can't see where or how he put the soap before kather starts forming?? I have no experience with soaps and wanted to learn in total
Paul Valley yes. A little warm water on top of the puck, let soak for a bit and then start to load your brush with some soap by whisking it on the puck and then once you get enough soap in the brush, take it to your face and start building more lather until you get a good consistency.
I don't know why I can't get this to work. I've tried 3 different soaps and no matter how long I work at it, it will not lather. If I'm lucky I can get a tiny bit of lather out of it after, like 20 minutes of working at it, but not enough to do anything. I try adding more soap, I try adding more water, tiny bits at a time, and I just can't get it going.
Try using different water Sometime if you have hard water from the tap it can have an impact on the lather. Since you've tried everything else try distilled water.
Sounds like you have very hard water or a crappy brush-maybe both. A Razorock plissoft brush is like $12 on Italian Barber's site. Also use distilled or filtered water. Or just get Stirling soap-it's made w/hard water in mind.
Shave with any bar soap or Mitchell's Wool Fat? 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 foams up, stop. let cool you just went it to congeal' place in the sun, until soap hardens Larry
2 questions: What is tha name of the soap used in the video? Also, does brush quality affect lather quality? I got a cheap brush and having trouble with getting a solid lather. Thanks, Damon
damon phillips The soap is Synergy Shaving Soap from www.HowToGrowAMoustache.com. It's the Bay Rum scent. The brush may be part of the problem, however, the soap is more important. A bad soap will not lather well if you have a low or high quality brush. I hope that helps. -Mark
Ernesto Gonzales I know this was left here 2 years ago and is most likely irrelevant to you now, but there are many factors including water hardness, type of soap and brush quality that could affect how much lather you get. Try using a good quality soap and distilled water.
Use a soap not a cream. I think one key factor is that he is using a wide bowl to produce his lather. Also remember to press down and go aggressive to start building more lather
the best for me $2.87 Neutrogena Original Amber Bar Facial Cleansing Bar with Glycerin, Clean- put in microwave for 20 seconds ,it will liquify ,pour into shaving bowl , let cool then just use brush to lather .It doesn't promote a big giant foamy face but gives you lubrication and skin protection . after all it is only what is on your skin that affects it not the foam on top of foam $2.87 it will last over a year

At last a how-to video with a view of the actual process of making lather, and not just a talking head this is in love with his own voice.
I love the sound effects too. Hehe. :3

I hope your joking 😂😂
Lol
Who doesn’t.

Legend says he is mixing soap in that bowl till this day

lmao at the applause. Had to do a double take for a split second.
Same 🤣
I am a simple man. Shaving soap, aggresive, good music. I like.
Can we appreciate how hes got the sound track of shaolin showdown!!!

I could shave and then make a meringue pie with that thick lather!
Thanks for this vid man. Just started using a single edge razor and now I know what I was doing wrong. Lol
Well I was wondering how you made it to the shower with all those people in your bathroom. :-) lmao

Wow
Damn man that’s a nice set up you got there. Where did you get the porcelain tray from?
Just had the kit as birthday present and keen to try. Good to see the lather consistency at the end literally hanging off the brush. So that's what to aim for. Thanks.

Liam Conroy I have the same one. How did it go?
just going to let you know that soaps a little more thirsty so going to need a little more water.
People into wet shaving actually use the same terminology for a good lather - stiff peaks.
Just got my 1st safety razor and 1st shave brush with soap...this was perfect!
What made you make the switch
@@bmw_m4255 cost honestly
Great tutorial, thanks so much for being really detailed!
Like the tea cup for a soap cup, seems most shave cups are high sided, the tea cup is shallow and wider allowing for for buildup of more lather.
Think I'll go find me antique tea cup for the job. Like your "set-up" too. cheers!
Yea i agree. I think the wide bowl is deffo a key factor in making so much lather.
where did you get the shaving bowl and counter top dish? It makes the set seem more put together on the counter.
Yes would love to know, its very nice!
Great video. Going to try this later. Have always used gel and a brush. Bought myself a nice cup and soap.
do you mind telling what plate, bowl, and the thing used to hold the tools are?
You know, the thing.
Finally a proper video. Thank you for being clear and getting to the point.
Right? I didn't want to watch some random balding guy shaving. "oi here's how you get a lather". Boom, it magically appears. "and that's how it's done". Cool brah
Where’d you learn to move your wrist that fast in that direction?
At first I was like dude get on with it! But the clapping was hilarious and totally worth it.
I always held the bowl in my hand and never pressed the brush hard. Those were my mistakes. Never again! Thank you.
Sin lugar a dudas, el mejor video que he visto de hacer espuma en un bol con jabón del Betis bueno
Now that's a proper shaving lather. Well done.

Perfectly done
Oh boy, I'm now looking forward to shaving.
Now that is a pasty creamy lather which I prefer
Legend says that only the chosen men will take the time to groom Themselves property while others Try to get a Quick shaved
Where did you pick that brand of soap up at ?, great video👍
Best video yet of any I have watched!
I like your shaving arrangement kit. I am going to copy it.🙂
What shaving set is this?
I have *not* been doing this correctly
where did you get this kit? i like the hanger for the brush
Kinda surprised he made one video and quit. This is really well done
Can i keep the lather in the bowl until its empty or do i have to remove it after every shave
You've got to dump it. The lather won't stay that long.
@@Culper723 thanks
awesome vid! what brand of soap are you using
Nice dense and merangue-like consistency lather. Kudos for not using that moronic description if "yogurty"!
Is there any way we can get the names of the products you were using
I MAKE LATHER FROM THE WHITES OF THE EGGS.IT BECOMES FANTASTIC AND A NICE SHAVE
would you mind telling us the name of the bowl and holder along with the safety razor in the video? looks sexy sitting on the counter and great setup. nice video
Why was there no round of applause when you stripped off for your shower?
Where did you get the bowl?
I want to know where you got that tray That's what I want to know lol
Where did you get that bowl? I like it.
What kind of shave mug is that? Just curious. Looking for a decent mug for shaving. The one in this video looks perfect for that.
I like the sound effects.
I never knew. AWESOME!
Thanks 👍 what soap is that?
Would irish spring count as "good quality soap"?
I need to try out lathering it in a bowl. I'm trying to lather on my face and it just won't lather, next time I shave I'll try using a bowl becouse I've been trying to face lather for a couple months and it's always so watered down that it looks like I took hand soap and tried lathering
I have a badger brush and can't foam Proraso cream. A little warm water on the brush, it stays thick. What am I doing wrong?
This guy just did a magic trick
what make of soap did you use ?
What is brand is that shaving soap? Plz post link.
Excellent vid, like your set up, simple and classy. Great idea to use a tray to keep everything together and off a potentially wet bench. 👍
What is the brand of soap? That box came with it? Looks so nice
I’m not sure if it’s the soap I’m using or what but I can get a lather, put it on my face, it goes on nice and white but by the time I’m about 1/3 done with the shave, it all just kind of disappears and gets sticky almost
Helpful man, always had trouble getting it down to a lather
I can't get that much lather for the life of me. I'm redipping my brush multiple times and having to make more cream.
You gotta play with the soap to water ratio. I used to think it was about adding more soap but I found I was actually needing more water and more time whipping it if I wanted to get those giant bowls of lather.
Are you just rinsing the lather off of your soap puck, and air drying?
Great video, it helped clear my doubt. 👍
Works like a charm, Thank You
What audio equipment are you using?
What?? I've watched this 3 times.. i can't see where or how he put the soap before kather starts forming?? I have no experience with soaps and wanted to learn in total
What brand bowl and white holder is that?
In the shave soap, the round divot, is that there when you buy or did you ware it down?
Cassandra Morehouse he wore it down.
I use the cheaper shave soaps that cost about 2 dollars or so. They work great for me.
I use shaving soaps from local company's. cheap and good.
I made my own at home for pennies per bar.
how? what recepie?@@vhfgamer
Where did you get that bowl?
Legend has it that this guy has been in the bathroom taking showers and shaving for the past 7 years. Wife is not pleased.
Can the same method be used for pucks?
Paul Valley yes. A little warm water on top of the puck, let soak for a bit and then start to load your brush with some soap by whisking it on the puck and then once you get enough soap in the brush, take it to your face and start building more lather until you get a good consistency.
What kind of shave soap are you using?
What shave soap is that exactly?
Do you keep this lather for the next day or throw it out after 1 shave? seems like alot for just one shave
I agree. He must have shaved his whole body. 😄
Can I and where do I get that soap now ??
white bowl with ear is original for shaving?
Great video
Hmmmmm.... I was about to start brushing the soap until something happened. I'm glad I took a moment to check.
Thank you! I did it wrong the first time, maybe I should have practiced considering I was also using a DE for the first time too Haha
I don't know why I can't get this to work. I've tried 3 different soaps and no matter how long I work at it, it will not lather.

SKSith try uncle jon soap his soap kicks ass! look him up on TH-cam or google him.
John D. A good boar will give you a good lather. It's all I use. Want a synthetic though :D
Sounds like you have very hard water or a crappy brush-maybe both. A Razorock plissoft brush is like $12 on Italian Barber's site. Also use distilled or filtered water. Or just get Stirling soap-it's made w/hard water in mind.
Will White That's extremely untrue. Arko is one of the easiest soaps there is to lather, which is backed up by general consensus.
Ok but how do you clean up after the shave?
Why did you stop doing videus
Thanks for Tutorial my cut face appriciates it.
Shave with any bar soap or Mitchell's Wool Fat? 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 foams up, stop. let cool you just went it to congeal' place in the sun, until soap hardens Larry
