Thread: Chubby 3 lather settles in brush between passes

The thing about brushes is, there are only a few parameters in good lather development. Assuming a good brush and quality soap or cream and decent water quality it's either loading enough soap, adding enough lather and working the brush.

If you play with those three you can't go wrong. Of course if the first three are lacking then you be like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

To prevent soap from gettin into the core of my badger brush I give it a short soak in warm water; shake out most of the water; load the brush with a bit of water on top of the (soaked) soap; build a lather avoiding circular motions as much as possible. I do use circular motions, but very sparingly.

I keep my lather wet and rinse the brush thoroughly after I'm done, ending with carefully rinsing the knot up straight with, again, warm water.

Once a month I do a five minute cleaning with washing up liquid, it has kept my only badger (and main) brush in tip top shape for about five years now.

Best regards,

Pieter

If I lad my brush for 30 seconds with my MDC I would have enough soap for 5-6 shaves, it goes down the drain. But mostly if my soap is not coming out of the brush it's always to dry. Tc
