Razor Edge Friday Special: How To Break In a Brand New Brush all right let's do
it so here is the brush this is my brand
new Semogue Owners Club and this is boar hair just wonderful I personally
like boar hair it gives me a good face feel you know you your mileage may vary
but this I just got it so we're gonna break it in so I have had this brush the
first step is soaking here in the sink for 10 minutes in hot water and now I'm
going to take and get most of that water out of there a little bit but take most
of it out and then I've got my soap this is Sterling Soap Company and it is Coconut
Lime and it's a tallow base soap I've had it blooming as long as the brush has
been soaking alright so step two I pour the bloom water and get it in the brush
then step three we're gonna go ahead and load up that brush alright and so far so
good looking great yeah and what we're gonna
do we're going to get a good load on that brush because what I need me to do
is get this nice and load it up so we can get it
broke in you could if you wanted just try to lather right on the face but what
we're going to do I'm going to clean off around that bowl like normal yeah there
we go so we do like that and I'm going to put that down right there and we're
going to put that soap right on the brush and then I'm going to lather in my
hand okay and what I'm doing is I'm working that lather into the brush so
this is step three do a very thorough hand lather alright and that will make
sure you know what we're trying to do is get that soap really worked into those
bristles and all I can say this is boar hair this is what I personally like and
you may be a badger guy or if your synthetic you don't need to do this at
all but if your natural hair even a horse hair you you don't want to break
in that brush all right so now I'm just gonna work that in and I've got a really
nice lather going on there now yeah I'm just getting that into that the
bristles of this brush as good as I possibly can alright and
working it in there that look the peaks on this it's just this is great soap if
you have a trying Sterling Soap Company they make fantastic soaps and like I
say it's tallow base so it's quite possible that you will really like that
alright so now I'm gonna pull most of that soap out of that brush like that
we're gonna clean off my hands yeah next
and we're going to get that brush wet again
and now we're going lather one more time okay so we're going to get this all
loaded up a second time and build a little ladder hair hand one more time
all right and this is how I do it if if you're breaking in your brush a
different way go ahead and leave it down in the comments for me that would just
be cool then we have more than one way to do stuff all right so now this brush
that's pretty loaded up and I always always overload my brushes I don't
think there's anything wrong with that and it really helps so you don't run out
of shaving soap when you're doing the shave yeah alright so those hands again
and now we've got that worked in there pretty well but now I'm going to
just go ahead and we're gonna build a lather in my hand again
put more water on there yeah nice yeah I'm just as you see I'm spinning that
brush around
and I'm working it back and forth spinning it around as I'm doing it and
that's really working that shave soap into the brush which is what we need to
do all right yeah just put a little bit more water in
there and just take it up a notch okay I believe this look at that oh my goodness
fabulous check that out like yogurt yeah that's cool
now I'm going to just work that into those bristles again just like that and
then I'm going to be getting as much of that on my hand as I can there we go
there we go yeah we're gonna clean those hands what I'm going to do is I'm going
to take a zip lock bag and we're gonna just throw that brush in that bag and
I'm just rolling it up and we are going to let that stay in this bag sealed
overnight and I will get back to you tomorrow so you can pull out brush out
of there now we're going to clean that out and we're going to get this brush
all cleaned out of that soap from yesterday and we're going to go to
another lather and we should be good to go
okay so now I've got that brush fairly well cleaned out now yeah I'm gonna pour
off that bloom water we're going to get a lot of that bloom water right in
that brush yeah let's go ahead and pick up another good lather all right and
then this brush will be all broken in for the most part and we will do a shave
video on Sunday with it yep that is looking good really kicking up a nice
lather all right you know I think we are there we this in a brilliant
that's a beautiful brush and it's gonna be a beautiful lather now I'm just
cleaning up around that bowl like normal we're gonna put that on that brush just
like this and if this was a shave I'd be putting that on my face as well but it's
not a shave we're breaking in this brush this is a one-time deal so no big deal
look at this isn't that beautiful oh yeah now we're gonna
build another lather right in the palm of my hand and this should take care of
that brush yeah you should be all good to go
for the next shave which we'll do on Sunday and that'll be cool I have a good
feeling about this brush I personally like I say I enjoy board brushes I enjoy
the face feel it really helps me work that lather into those whiskers and that
is so good for me this is the way to go now your mileage may vary all right so
if you like badger go for it you can do this same procedure to break in a badger
brush as well and if you have a synthetic that you really like you don't
need to break them in at all right and there it is I've actually fallen off
of my hand I'm going to put that back brush yeah yeah we're going to just work
that in real good again and see what I'm doing is I'm pinching with two fingers
from the base of the brush to the tips just like that and that will help make
sure and we're gonna get that soap all throughout that brush and we'll get the
peaks on this this is great alright so there you go is that amazing
or one that is good and now this brush I'm going to say at this point should be
completely broken in and ready to go look at that lather that amazing oh yeah
the peaks on this incredible yep now we're gonna get that all cleaned off
again I'm gonna just use that brush clean that hand a little bit now I'm
gonna dry that off like I do all my brushes after I'm shaving and this thing
is done there you go in that nice this is such a wonderful brush and I
really think it's gonna be nice that is Cherry wood alright this is the Semogue
