Shaving Soap Lathering Tutorial - How To Make Thick, Rich, Shaving Lather

[@hcabbk]

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.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

I love the sound effects too. Hehe. :3

[@floorboss]

He didn't even say or show what product(s) he was using.. > Furthermore, if you don't know how to move your hand in a circular motion w/out visually "see-ing it",, like all them other videos you're hating on. Just stop! And give up DYI videos & YT all together.

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.

[@dethmaul]

lmao at the applause. Had to do a double take for a split second.

[@qthapharaoh9205]

[@vikmoj2426]

I am a simple man. Shaving soap, aggresive, good music. I like.

[@UnknownOutcast]

Can we appreciate how hes got the sound track of shaolin showdown!!!

[@fursey7149]

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 😊.

[@druntopronto7598]

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.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

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.

[@bmw_m4255]

Wow

[@narq5099]

I could shave and then make a meringue pie with that thick lather!

[@sandsmine]

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

[@jam3sh3n13y]

Thanks for this vid man. Just started using a single edge razor and now I know what I was doing wrong. Lol

[@paulmcwilliams1709]

Well I was wondering how you made it to the shower with all those people in your bathroom. :-) lmao

[@nameless510jd]

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

[@derekbigpowers1993]

Liam Conroy I have the same one. How did it go?

[@SillyOmega]

just going to let you know that soaps a little more thirsty so going to need a little more water.

[@check4v]

People into wet shaving actually use the same terminology for a good lather - stiff peaks.

[@maxfracture2185]

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.

[@mlgreenspan1760]

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!

[@deadcell4837]

Yea i agree. I think the wide bowl is deffo a key factor in making so much lather.

[@xforcepillow1072]

Great tutorial, thanks so much for being really detailed!

[@BlueTaylor88]

Finally a proper video. Thank you for being clear and getting to the point.

[@Deschuttes]

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

[@mak52580]

where did you get the shaving bowl and counter top dish? It makes the set seem more put together on the counter.

[@bfeeny99]

Yes would love to know, its very nice!

[@leenilsson1544]

Great video. Going to try this later. Have always used gel and a brush. Bought myself a nice cup and soap.

[@JiggaJoo]

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!

[@JiggaJoo]

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.

[@jmjr69]

Sin lugar a dudas, el mejor video que he visto de hacer espuma en un bol con jabón del Betis bueno

Kinda surprised he made one video and quit. This is really well done

[@thadtuiol1717]

Nice dense and merangue-like consistency lather. Kudos for not using that moronic description if "yogurty"!

[@88Petry]

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.

[@nathancole1163]

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.

[@007connecticut]

I never knew. AWESOME!

Can i keep the lather in the bowl until its empty or do i have to remove it after every shave

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

What is the brand of soap? That box came with it? Looks so nice

[@wiseal9063]

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

[@Liedral]

Tried making lather for the first time today, epic failure. Thanks for the video, I'll give this a try tomorrow.

[@XxSYNDROISxX]

Is there any way we can get the names of the products you were using

[@Shavewithfrixos]

Where did you get the bowl?

Are you just rinsing the lather off of your soap puck, and air drying?

unbelievable i never knew this about shaving wow 👏

[@RustyMex]

Even though I followed all the directions correctly. My shaving cream is still not coming out like this.

[@deadcell4837]

You need to use a soap not a cream. Also it depends on the quality of the soap. Another factor i think is that he is using a wide bowl to generate the lather

[@danieljackson1272]

@@deadcell4837 yeah, I don't think that's it. I can't count the number of times over the years I have precisely followed what appeared to be very simple instructions in tutorial videos like this, using a variety of soaps, and not one time have I gotten their results.

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

[@dappershave4935]

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

i am not getting a lather like that... at all

[@mathewpaczynski4630]

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.

[@nicksajs]

Use more shaving cream who said use pea sized with few drops of water ofc. Thank me later.

[@blackbear9326]

Try ARKO soap. 👌🏼

[@deadcell4837]

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

[@NutzBdragon]

What shaving set is this?

The best Shave Brush on the market today is my Simpson Trafalgar's T-3, better then boar cheaper in the long run, it is 29mm. i mic it' it's like buying a $275 Badger hair brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, NO SOAKING, fast drying time, well not fall apart like a Badger Hair or boar can, cheap to buy, I have owned it for 5 Years with no hair loss with no problems wheelchair Larry Merry Christmas

[@adamr8628]

I agree. He must have shaved his whole body. 😄

[@Xavierusis]

Amazing tutorial!

[@SKSith]

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.

[@WraithCalling]

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.

[@Furby_assassin]

SKSith try uncle jon soap his soap kicks ass! look him up on KZbin or google him.

[@CMHobbies]

John D. A good boar will give you a good lather. It's all I use. Want a synthetic though :D

[@CMHobbies]

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.

[@sprinkle581]

Will White That's extremely untrue. Arko is one of the easiest soaps there is to lather, which is backed up by general consensus.

[@alexstenbom6096]

Thank you so much! Great video!

[@paulinevalley501]

Can the same method be used for pucks?

[@magnetar2524]

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.
