  • Prep: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Bath soap
  • Brush: Maggard 24mm synth
  • Razor: Karve Overlander SS
  • Blade: Feather
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co - Shiloh
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Nordost - Balm

Nice, my lather is on theme with today’s Sponsor. Shiloh is a great dupe of a great scent!

For my pasty lather today I decided to try out the lathering method used by the Wet The Face guy on YouTube - my choice of wetuber on Day 15. I like the channel and the guy, but my hypothesis is that the lather is slightly pasty, at least for me.

Method:

  1. Apply a generous amount of soap in the bottom of the bowl
  2. Soak brush and shake off excess water gently
  3. Squeeze out the remaining water in the brush into the bowl.
  4. Apply pressure with the brush and stir first slowly and then vigorously and fast for around 2 minutes

(Optional steps - I only followed steps 1 and 3)

  1. Say: “Ok, let me wet the face”
  2. Complete the shave with only one pass. Plenty of buffing with no lather.
  3. After the shave, say: “Wow!!”

The result: plenty of thick lather, too pasty for my liking. No drippage.
