How To Make Traditional Shaving Lather; Part I: Shaving Cream

Decided to make a video for a contest on Badger and Blade (the wet shaving mega site). Here I demonstrate how I make a shaving lather using a brush, and traditional style shaving cream.

Feel free to offer tips, and advice on how I can improve my technique.

Dear michigan lover,

My lather is always runny and has a very soapy look to it. How can I avoid this problem?

@tehfear

1st use more product.

The general recommendation is to use an amount of product that is equal in size to about an almond. I usually use about a two almond size.

Second, it sounds like you may have too much water.

Try giving the brush a couple of firm shakes, and then a good squeeze. This will probably make the mix too dry. Work a small amount of water back in, by just dipping the tips of the brush into water.

aaaand now I'm going to take a break and make a sandwich. Everyone should shave in the kitchen.

It was simply much easier to film, and setup the camera in my kitchen, rather than using my small, cramped bathroom. :)

Looks like John the Fat Lifeless Homo is back posting about his non existent sex life on Badger and Blade again, talkin bout how he shoves used dollar store razors up his nasty craggy 350 flabby ass pipe and then goes slumming for some Dairy Queen and a few Big Macs to stuff down his pie hole.

Bwhahahahahahahahahahaaaa !!!!!!!!
