Arko perfect Turkish soap❤

The gloves can be avoided, if you soak the brush, squeeze most of the water out, and push some soap paste from the Palmolive tube into the tip of the brush. Start the face lather with that. No gloves needed.

In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary?

It's great to see you in good health Kit ! 🎉

Your DE shaving videos, especially the ones about brushes, are like a professor's lecture-packed with information and incredibly useful for DE enthusiasts. Your videos are a boon to the passionate DE community. Thanks, Kit!

Most helpful video on yaqi !!good job

😂 great video I’ve been in wet shaving about a year and a half. Will try it. They still sale this as of today on Amazon

Thanks!

This is a very good overview. I own several yaqi heads: the mellon, the beast, the "top aggressive slant", the knight helmet, the scallop. For daily usage, the scallop turned out to be extremely nice. Not too aggressive but you still can feel the blade very well. The slant yields incredibly close shaves, and feels very smooth, but it is an extremely aggressive razor and you really need to be on your toes. I'd say it's en par with the ikon tech. Beast and knight helmet, not my cup of tea. I like the mellon quite a bit. It is mild but pair it with a feather and it can be quite effective. It also allows to use a cool-looking double-open-comb head without having a super-aggressive razor. I also own several of the color handles by yaqi, I find them all really well balanced and high quality.

Here are the Two Best Shave Brushes on the market today? are Simpson King Charles III Coronation Chubby 3 Fiber brush with special handle it has Softer Hair a real bargain is a Brush Monster at 40mm reasonable Price for its size.

Probably the best video on yaqi. I want to find out the best scruber they had and you answered it. Thanks

this is really helpful I wish u remade this video

silvertip or two banded? which one do you prefer?

came for the review on the Baili (my first safety razor) but stayed for the story. Great lessons here. thanks!

Hello Kit, I hope you are ok. Greetings from Turkey!

Hi what’s your recommendation for face lathering please? Silvertip or two band and what size? Thanks

Excellent

Please whats te actual name of the razor you used in this video?

36 hours or 3 days? You kept mentioning both. Which one is it?

This is some crazy work, they must smell all to hell....I just started wet shaving, this is a lot!

Wow incredible and detailed video Kit! I was surprised to find your video on this, thought they were a newer knot. Anything I could've dreamt of asking about this brush was covered and more! Wish more people would talk so in depth with clarity and simplicity as you do. A joy to watch. Happy Shaves from across the World!

Greetings from Germany! I hope you are ok. I really like your videos and the way you present the razors and so on. Normally open comb razors are more aggressive than the closed comb ones, so how is it possible, that the yaqi flipside is as open comb smoother?

best brush video ive ever seen , bravo kit well done

Hello Kit, absolutely loved your videos. They are so informative and improved my understanding specially of brushes and helped me take much better decisions on what to buy according to what suited me. So thank you so much, your excellent videos still keep helping newer wet shavers like me. Cheers.

I bought two bottles of kiss my face unscented from Amazon and they arrived in the mail today. I tried one and it’s super thin and very difficult to wash off your hands and face. And doesn’t work well. That is before I watched your video. That’s very interesting, but a lot of work. I’m 61 and I’ve never owned a shaving brush or shaving bowl. Too much work, too much cleanup. I ordered this product because Gilette ruined their foamy shave cream by adding a nasty stinky cologne. I thought it had gone bad because it appears that the expiration date is past. But the code is a little hard to decipher. I’m very disappointed in this product because I don’t want to use it right out of the bottle. And I don’t wanna go through all that work that you show in the video. I think I’m gonna throw it away. Wasted money. However your video is very helpful. Thank you for posting it.

i admire what you did , helping the philipino family .....i am engaged to a philipina and i will marry her soon and take her out of the village she lives in and i also will help her family after we are married , they are good people

What about the backbone of the yaqi brush compared to the trafalgar t3?

baili butterfly and baili bd176 are the same in aggression?

when comparing baili and Yaqi mellon ! Which is more aggressive on a scale of 1-10?

Thank you, so mush for this master class.

Baili = Gillette Tech

Hey Kitt, how is it going man??

Yagi mellonn base blade is a crap

i bought the purple brush from yaqi and i love it , thanx

Very knowledgeable, I just ordered rainbow brush and zebra brush

Little expensive.

I like that it is not tested on animals and does not have any harsh ingredients. Will definitely give it a try after watching this video. Thanks.

I've been researching wetshaving for a while now so as to enter this hobby, and your videos, especially those on Yaqi brushes, have been really helpful. I liked your introduction to and demonstration of the PR index for brushes, too. Then I wanted to watch a more recent video from you and the last one that I saw on your feed was this one which is from 2 years ago. And, I've gotta be honest, I immediately felt uncomfortable thinking something bad may have happened that you stopped making these videos. So, I'm now relieved to see you still replying to comments below this video. Really glad that you're well. Let me tell you that I'm about to get that Yaqi purple haze brush as my first brush mostly because you liked it so much. I also read 2-3 of your replies here as to why you've stopped making videos, and as much as it makes me sad that I can't have access to that knowledgeable-uncle/mentor-figure essence that you brought to the wetshaving community here on YT, but I also totally and deeply relate to having been burnt out, and feeling like you've got nothing more to say. I know you have a lot more to say on other subject matters, maybe only not on this one anymore. I'm not a fan of gardening in them cups, though! Haha! Kidding aside, If anytime you made another channel on another subject matter, I may come and say "hello" to you there. At the end of the day, I'm glad to know you're well and that I learnt something from you. Be well, wetshaving sensei!

Returning to Yaqi after a break and I find them just superb. My fave is the beast head on my Muhle R41 which is just perfect for me.

Thanks so much for doing in depth reviews of the yaqi badger. I am trying to buy my first 2 band badger, and want to pull the trigger on this brush and the obsidian in 2 band, but could not find any good reviews. They look like solid brushes for good money. When I asked my Grandpa about what brush he used, he didn't say "brushes that were made in country XYZ". He said "I used whatever was the best quality for reasonable money." Yaqi fits that bill I think.

Wow,Wow does this work! Even the scrubby is soft. This works great! Thank you Kit!

Two questions. First - is this recommend for boar brush that has already been used for about a year or is it already broken in? Second how much borax and how much arm and hammer to use- ratio? Thank you - great video but it would be useful to know

I have just ordered my first DE razor and it's this one. Do far the reviews are good. Can't wait for it to be delivered

I know i'm a bit late to this video, just recently purchased this same handle and I also shave against the grain with my head shaves! Great vid!

I have the same brush but set much deeper, resulting in a shorter loft.

speed 1,25 ... thank me later
