How To Create Rich Lather ?

• Pre-Shave: Preparing brush

Once you did with choosing your suitable badger shaving brush, it’s time to make ready the soap and brush to shave. Pre-shaving preparation is vital in order to create good lather that will slacken the facial hairs to give you a close shave.

• Strategy: Creating Lather

If decided to lather on the face, firstly, wet the head of the badger brush and swirl on the soap to grab the pre-lather on the brush, later wet your face with warm water and swirl the brush on the face with light pressure. Keep swirling the brush on both sides of the face until you notice the sleek and shiny lather taking place.

Secondly, if you decided to create lather shaving soap in a mug, wet the top head of the badger brush with few drops of water followed by pouring very little water into the shaving mug. Now, circle the wet brush over shaving soap until you notice the lather start producing. Plunge the brush in between to check the thickness of the lather. As you see, the brush holds the pre-lather that created on the soap, damp the brush directly into shaving mug which already contains little water in it, start swirling the brush in a mug for few seconds, you will notice the lather is much more dense and thick.

• The Attack: Shave

Finally, shave as per your daily style.  Once done with a shave, wash the face with ample amount of water to remove all the leftover lather. Later, rinse the brush under the faucet and wash the leftover shaving soap. After washing your brush place the brush on a dry towel and let it dry for few minutes. Placing wet shaving brush directly after shave is unhealthy for brush bristles.
