Hello fellow chrome domes: Hope all is well with you &.your families. Just wanted to share with you on how to create thick lather with a shaving brush. My favorite brush is a Semogue 620 boar brush. A good boar brush can create thick lather on any creams or hard soaps. The 620 has a great reputation on creating serious lather to any shave soaps.
In this tutorial... I wanted to demonstrate that you can create a thick lather using an inexpensive badger brush. This is my 1st brush that I purchased from Target about 4 years ago. It is a SHEA MOISTURE badger brush that you can purchase at Target for under $12.00. Although the Semogue 620 is my go to brush...the Target brush is still a great performer.
Supplies:
$1.50 Salsa bowl from Walmart that I converted to a shaving bowl
Badger brush from Target
Mike's Natural Soap
Cut a slice of Mike's Natural Soap and place in bowl
Soak brush in hot or warm water
Shake off excess water and start swirling. Add a little water if needed.
As I have demonstrated... you can create this type of lather using these simple techniques. Too much water will result in thin lather and too little water will result in a dry non-lather. Hope this helps you out if you are using a shaving brush in your routine.
