Shaving Soap Lathering Tutorial - How To Make Thick, Rich, Shaving Lather

** FYI. I do not own www.DapperShave.com anymore. **

This is a short tutorial on how to lather shaving soap, brush, and a bowl.

Shaving with a safety razor has become a bit of an obsession for me. Now I look forward to this daily routine. This video is on how to make shaving lather with a shaving brush and shaving soap.

A good quality shaving brush paired with a good quality shaving soap makes a huge difference when shaving with a safety razor. The brush needs to be soft, but firm enough to lather the soap and work into your face stubble. So get yourself a decent boar hair or badger brush. A good quality soap will lather nicely will be slick enough to lubricate your face when shaving, and will not dry out your face. You will know a good soap when your razor glides nicely without skipping on your skin, cutting you at the same time.

Of course, your safety razor and blade combination choice is critical. You can have a great safety razor with a junky blade. Or, you can have a junky safety razor with an awesome blade. Either way, both will result in a terrible shaving experience.

With that said, don't go cheap on the blades or the razor. Have fun exploring, and learning about all your options.

Thanks,
