Happy Latheurth of July everyone!! (You see what I did there! Lather+fourth) anyways this morning was a struggle to find myself a measuring device to log in my shave with Rawr. Which was amazing and thanks /curbsidechamp for the amazing gift…. Again - Seriously if it wasn’t for all the amazing help I have been getting I would be super lost. Just to name drop some of the help I have been getting: u/curbside_champ, u/tsrblke, u/EldrormR, u/ginopono, u/mitosismonkey, u/Groundbreakingrole45, yes I do park in the wetshaving handicap spot. I am honestly competing to JUST not get disqualified lol…
Here is my morning science experience!
ABSTRACT:
Purpose: Incorrect lathering technic has lead multiple cases of weepers and nicks thus creating an overall dissatisfaction of morning wetshaving experience. This study aims to learn and improved the lathering technique and explore the methodology and its influencing factors that lead to a better shaving outcome. (Full Disclosure, I am in no way shape or form an expert and this is my full and complete opinion based on all that I have read in this forum within the past year, secondly I read a whole lot of health care research and YES they are this boring!!)
Design and method:
Materials: Copper shaving bowl with ridges, shaving brush (synthetic), ~1 tsp shaving soap (4.5 grams average). 15ml average of H2O (40 degree Celsius).
Method: Mix H2O with soap produce lather
Results: The measuring of lathering had an exact correlation with the amounts of water and soap combined. (50% Vs 65%, p=001)
Conclusion: Getting the right amount of lathering slickness and consistency is a very complicated procedure that should be explored further in order to fully comprehend the intricacies an improper mixture can develop.
