The Upside Down Lathering Trick
Loading...
Uploaded by mantic59 on Feb 10, 2009
I discovered that if a shaving brush is loaded "upside down" with a shaving soap that the lather is creamier and builds faster. Try this and comment on how it works for you! Distributed by Tubemogul.

A few days after getting my brush and soap, I decided to give this method a try. I find it is much easier to build a good lather this way and also saves time. Thanks so much for this video, it really helped me!

I do your technique every time I shave and the results are great! The soap goes deeper into the brush providing a better lather. Also, when loading upside down I find that the soap doesn't run down the sides of the container because it's going into the brush.

@stav3455 the propellants and petroleum-based chemicals are not good for the skin.

I used regular shaving cream with a straight razor for quite a while, I recently purchased a shaving soap and brush. This may be an amateur question, but is it safe to assume you are supposed to rinse off the shaving soap/mug after each use?

I love all these videos on traditional shaving techniques, it's neat to see them re-lived again, however, advocating that they are better than current shaving systems would be misleading! You can ask any dermatologist and they will tell you Shave Gel is much better for shaving than Shave Cream (aka soaps), the whole point of the evolution of shaving material and and tools is to get a better shave.

@941254 i know of physicians and dermatologists who are quick to recommend traditional shave cream/soap over gels. Mass market creams out of a pressurized can are another matter...gels out of a squeeze tube would be better than pressurized products.
