Mystery Shave 1 - #1

Tonight we begin the Wednesday Mystery Shave where I try a soap that is completely unknown to me, it's just a number. Come back and check the comments to find out what it is.

Great shave !! New boars eat lather like crazy after they break in they are amazing.

[@MullyShaves]

Cool, that’s really good to hear. Makes me feel better.

[@thewellgroomeddad]

PAA CaD! Great Barbershop scent. Definitely more water maybe a touch less product too. That stuff is almost unbeatable once you get the soap/water ratio down. Keep up the good work here! I think it will get dialed the more you use it for sure. Edit: the brush could be another reason for the lackluster lather build. Natural brushes can require more product per shave

[@MullyShaves]

Thanks, Rex. I’ve heard great things about this one. I’ll have to go again.

[@danielarchibald3247]

I have 2 Omega boar brushes, and found if you soak them long enough they're fine. Don't need the break in stuff. They will start to split the ends on their own. I noticed they started to hold a tiny- weeny more soap. Which is a good thing. Out of box I was frustrated with having to reload more soap for third pass, but that went away. They are definitely slightly different in lather method than a badger or synthetic.

[@MullyShaves]

That makes me feel much better, seriously.

[@makuIa]

that brush is a favourite of mine too, a lot of wet shavers with money will overlook these things for more premium products & that’s not near as fun as finding these kind of hidden gems

[@MullyShaves]

I’m all for less cost. Haha!!

[@ATexanShaves]

LOL. I had the same issue in my last video.. More water! Some soaps are just so dang thirsty. Great shave sir!

[@MullyShaves]

I’ll have to hit this one again

[@danblacksher6289]

Love the Kia blades as well. Fantastic!

[@MullyShaves]

Kai are one of my favorites. Wish I could afford 100 of them.

[@ShaveAndTell]

Boar and Badger brushes are a bit more hungry for soap compared to synthetics. From my experience the boar brushes demand a bit more product compared to the rest. Pretty much matching your voiceover comments 😉 Boar brushes feel great on the skin through. Cheers Mully!

[@MullyShaves]

Feels amazing. I wasn’t expecting that.

[@BartBuzz]

Boar brushes eat lather. I always bowl lather with a boar. That's why I use a synthetic when I face lather. I will say that if you soak a boar, it will work better. I just don't like to "work" to get a lather.

[@MullyShaves]

This brush is only on its 3rd or 4th use too.

[@danielarchibald3247]

I admit, I'm kinda new to boar brushes, they fo breaking to try snd soften brush, but I don't think gor me that's the case. For me I found as brush breaks in as I use it it begins to hold a little more soap or water, making it to start lathering better. It did lather thin and wouldn't hold much soap or water at first. But getting better with use. Don’t think it's broke in all the way yet for me.

[@MullyShaves]

That could be it. This was just the 3rd or 4th shave

[@3stooges824]

Great video dude thats a great brush i have the black omega one getting a dry brush lather happens thats like a 28 mm brush so it needs more product if you have a Japanese website id get a 20 mm boar brush for 10 bucks buy omega you wont need so much product

[@MullyShaves]

Great idea on the smaller brush. I do enjoy the larger handle though.

[@robertross8565]

0.156 mL soap to 6.26 mL distilled water.

[@MullyShaves]

Gotcha. Thanks

[@robertross8565]

I get consistent lather with a variety of soap by measuring both the soap and water. It eliminates all the variables. Uncle Bob’s recipe is: 1/32 tsp of soap to 1.25 tsp of distilled water. I agitate in a bowl for 75 seconds. Boom. Lather.

[@MullyShaves]

I’ll need to convert that to metrics

@@robertross8565 I can’t find you on Facebook messenger. Weren’t we messaging yesterday?

[@robertross8565]

We weren’t on Facebook messenger. We were going back and forth on YT comments.

[@sellitman]

I agree with the people here claiming that your issues were mostly in the brush. I will say that I do not spare product when I'm shaving. I have so many soaps that I almost put more on there on purpose so I have to buy more. Because I'm going to buy more anyway. There's other things to be stingy on.

[@MullyShaves]

I feel ya, but did you see how much of it I have? It’s one of those tiny containers. There’s not enough there to enjoy wasting it.

[@sellitman]

@@MullyShaves Yeah but you have 83 million samples. 😝

[@MullyShaves]

True, and more on the way.

[@arturgatzke5631]

Hi Molli, your Omega seems to be the right size for your big hands and its a nice big bowl with just perfect size and form. Omega got it right and like I prefer my blondes - natural, unbleached, without a black band (showing roots) and with long hair (bigger loft). People miss out without a such a blonde in their den. My jewish buddy inspired me to such comparison by calling his Omega "my unkosher blonde shikse".

[@MullyShaves]

Yeah, this brush fits my hand really nicely.

[@arturgatzke5631]

@@MullyShaves I'm keep thinking to get me one. The handle of my Omega 10098 is longer, but the lower part is just a little bit to thin for me. Omegas take quite a while to break in and they come smelly. German brands like nom (budget brand of Mühle) and VP Royal from Nürnberg use very thin fine bristles and their brushes take less time to break in.

[@GilaMonster971]

I really like boar brushes. I have a Timeless adjustable handle so have been trying a lot of knots. The Boti 28mm boar knot has become my favorite. I broke it in by rubbing it against a stiff bristle hair brush.

[@MullyShaves]

This seems to have broken in fairly quickly.

[@MullyShaves]

@@GilaMonster971 I’m really liking this one. Haven’t had this issue loading from a tub, I guess because the amount isn’t limited.
