![]() Basic soaps can be found in drug stores for like $2. Brushes can be shockingly expensive, but you can get a perfectly decent one at Amazon for like $15. ![]() That said, however, I sincerely do recommend shaving brushes and soaps/creams to anyone here who manually shaves. It’s just so damn ridiculous that I can’t help but laugh. There’s just no other possibility, and to its credit, it works. The video ends with him showing off the lather on his hand and then setting the brash on its handle only for it to immediately fall down. His only goal – for SOME reason – is speed. He is a machine, dripping and slipping everywhere. With all the gusto and disregard for civility of a heavyset woman who just found the fried shrimp at a seafood buffet… he starts to make lather. He labels this mishap as “oops.” He then collects the cream with the same undeniable embarrassment in his soul as a father who has to speak to his son’s class about his career as an auditor right after Billy’s astronaut dad just talked.Īnd then, he starts to make lather. This maneuver backfires in spectacular fashion, as the cream hilariously falls off the brush as soon as the guy tries to do two things at once. However, he squeezes the cream directly on top of the brush, a practice I have never seen done before (it should be squeezed into the bowl). Now hey, that’s fine you’re supposed to shake out the excess, but why do it another glass? And then why LABEL that glass as “glass”? He’s using shaving cream. He then dips the brush in a bowl of water and rinses out the excess… in another glass. He showcases the brush, caressing the bristles as one would the hair of an impassioned lover. Superlather in seconds! This is a very aptly named video in which the guy does everything in the book to create lather as quickly as possible. They were either too long, too drab, or starred creepos who I feared would leap through the screen and start making weird sounds at the family parakeet. However, most of YouTube’s “proper” lather videos (and you’ll be amazed how many there are) just didn’t cut it for me. When I first thought up the idea of this list years ago, I wanted to include at least one proper demonstration of a shaving brush, shaving soap/cream, and the tandem’s ability to whip up lather simply incomparable to the foams and gels of today. Oh lord, I feel like I should apologize already. ‪ Superlather in Seconds!‬ &rlm - YouTube Points off for not using a straight razor, but everything else here is solid. I bet some of you will feel the same way when watching it, and believe me, there's no shame in admitting it. The methodical pace and calming music immediately put me at ease. The barber finally applies some old fashioned stinging aftershave, helps the gent with his coat, and bids him a good day. Some people even use an ice cube, believe it or not (believe it!). ![]() This makes sense if you think about it: hot towels at the start of the shave to open the pores, cold towels at the end to close them. After the shave, cream is applied, and then a cold towel. ![]() He shaves the patron with a modern multi-bladed razor. This allows the lather to really absorb into the skin and make it even softer/smoother (of course, lather is reapplied before the actual shave). Some people actually apply a hot towel after lathering up. He applies a second hot towel after applying pre-shave oil (pre-shave oil is awesome btw I recommend it to anyone). It makes the beard much more manageable to shave and minimizes irritation. As the barber says, hot towels are used to soften the hair and open the pores. An immediate kinship is built between barber and patron, and the patron can feel like a boss for stepping into this old school establishment, cuz Supercuts sure as hell won't give him a beer. ![]() This is a wonderful gesture that showcases both generosity and masculinity. The friendly barber begins by offering the guy a beer. Barbershop shaves are going to dominate this list, and this opening video demonstrates why: it's just a much better experience than a shave at home. Let's journey to England! Our first video features a young bloke getting his shave at a traditional looking English barber shop. ‪ Barber's close shave‬ &rlm - YouTube Either way, I think you guys will like these. Some of my explanations and tidbits are surely common knowledge to the posters here, so please forgive me for that they weren't originally meant for this audience. I'm a newb here, but I wanted to share this list that I have posted on other non-shaving forums. ![]()
