Hey Mantic,

Just wondering how much lather you end up with in the breach after face lathering like this? I'm basically doing the same thing, with probably even thicker lather, but it only lasts 2 passes or so, and I need a small recharge for a third. I've got a dense silvertip brush. The breach isn't dry, but its not bursting with lather either. That said, if I squeeze the brush at the end, I get quite a nice amount of thick, emollient lather.

Love the vids! Thanks.

@jiddyification too many variables to give you a specific answer but try loading the brush a little more with cream/soap at the beginning.

Hey mantic, what is the name and artist of the whistling song that plays while you face-lather? Thanks for the videos, they helped me a ton (I used to think that you were supposed to shave against the grain right away).

@cdogw its called "Seventh Heaven," a piece of royalty-free "stock" music from footagefirm(dot)com. Its on their "novelty mix 2" DVD.

What's so premium about this kit ?

[mantic59]

@MrBawston the name, LOL. Actually the soap isn't so bad. The company just came out with a "luxury" line which has better products. As soon as I get a chance to try it I will post a video.

Rats! Now I'll be walking around with this lather on my face for a week until part 3 gets posted! :D

[FroopieLoopies]

Thanks mantic. I got a Parker 22R safety razor and this set. Thank you so much for putting this up, and taking the time to help us out. I'm 19, and knowing how to shave correctly. Thanks.

Hey mantic .. Ive been using this brush for about a month now .. your videos inspired me .. anyways I'm new to traditional shaving .. I'm 19 and have used gillette products since Ive started shaving .. I find this way a lot more enjoyable and get a better with lathering this way.. I just wanted to ask you what kind of safety razor do you think I should start out with?
