Welcome to Your Straight Razor Edge Friday Special! Hey Eric here with Adventures In Wet
Shaving and welcome back it's good to see you in tonight Straight Razor Edge
Friday Special we're creating a Super Lather with glycerin or an Uber Lather
recently Kypros commented: I usually use Uber or Super Lather with Glycerin.
What is a super lather? you ask good question that's where we mix a shaving
cream a shaving soap and glycerin. Now tonight we'll be using George F. Trumper
and this is the Coconut Oil Shaving Cream I'm using this because to me it
has little scent if any I'm sure does taste or not taste they smell like
coconut but to me it doesn't so it doesn't matter and then for a soup
tonight we're using Proraso Red yeah and this does have a wonderful
sandalwood scent so that is going to be nice and we are going to be using
Vegetable Glycerin this is 99.7% okay and it is Food Grade now
I do have that in a smaller bottle so I could dispense it and for a brush
tonight I have had my Omega 10098 soaking okay I just got out of the
shower and it's been soaking while I was in the shower. Now do you need a boar
brush to do this? No you don't you use boar, you could use badger, you can do
just any kind of synthetic. Whatever your favorite brush is that's what you should
use. All right it's going to be the way to go.
now what we're going to do first off is I'm going to be pouring off this bloom
water just like that there just a little bit in there
and I'm gonna load my brush yep so I'm just going to load it just like a
normally would so if you are having problems with getting a good lather this
may do the trick for you you know mix them some things together
may actually be broom yep all right so you can always check it out so now what
I'm doing is I'm just gonna go ahead and get a nice pasty load just like normal
right this is the way I always do it and I think we are in pretty good shape it
looks like right about there now I did not use enough water so we're going to
just put a little bit more water in there okay because I want to make sure
and have enough soap I always overload but it's fine we're going to go ahead
and just do it okay there you go hear that that means we're nice and pasty and
that looks good so now I'm just going to clean up around that bowl like I always
do okay cuz I always make a mess when I'm doing this so we got that going
there now I got a bowl this is the bowl I was
soaking my brush in and it's just a fine bowl that I just found somewhere like at
a dollar store or something it was cheap but it's really kind of nice so we're
gonna use that tonight now get my hands dried off okay for the next ingredient I
will be using the George F Trumper Coconut Oil Shaving Cream and I'm going
to use about that much so that's maybe I don't know an almond size
I don't know but that's what I'm gonna use that's about how much I use normally
now what I'm going to do most people would stick this
that bowl but I face lather so I'm just gonna stick that right down off in the
middle of that brush just like that all right and next up we are going to add
about three or four drops of Glycerin so let's go ahead one two three four we got
four drops of glycerin in there and now I'm going to take that and this bowl
we're gonna put a little bit of water in that bowl not that much maybe maybe like
that so see I've got just a bit in there so we're gonna go ahead and we're going
to kind of start trying to make a lather with this but for me while I'm really
doing because I face lather I ignore like don't bowl oh I know a lot of
people do and if that works for you go for it because that's normally the way
this is done now what I'm doing is I'm just going to go ahead and get all that
in that brush kind of mixed up okay just like that and you can see there is more
than enough on that brush now I'm going to do what I would normally do and we're
going to pour pull some of that out of that bowl and put it on kind of as
pre-shave that's the way I normally do it
just like that now I don't have my sink full of water so I'm just going around
the water for just a moment now here we go
okay we got this nice beautiful load of soap let's go ahead and make a lather
now like I say I normally face lather if you bowl lather this is going to be
much more traditional for you than it is for me for me this is a little different
because I normally don't mix things but Wiley did that go just kicked up almost
immediately and now for me this again is the wet brush technique so normally it
can make a mess and make a great ladder look at that. Wow!
okay okay I don't know how long that was but that was not very long and that made
a brilliant lather lay that
now that's what I call a lather and that brush has got a nice bunch of lather in
it so that'll work out brilliant I've got another YouTube Premiere coming up
