Thread: I mustache you a question...

I push with one finger on the side of the bristles untill the knot splays out into a kind of paint brush shape then apply away. It's difficult to explain what I mean, but I saw it on a utube video and have been using it ever since (don't remember which one but may have one of been mantic's)

I was lol'ing at the title of this thread and people were looking at me at work!

You want to be doing circular brush strokes to help lift the beard hairs up and out of your skin. I go with circular motions all over my face, including my nose/lip area. I know what you mean by getting the lather up your sniffers, but others have suggested the right way to clear it out and I tend to agree - do that before and after the shave for best effect. Also remember to wipe this area clean when you are doing your post shave rinse all over your face.

Look at the Mantic vids , he always sucks his lips in. Pinching the brush down should be self explanatory, just grab the actual bristles with your fingers instead of the handle probably 1/4-1/2 way down.

I sometimes twist my brush on the side of my scuttle (or whatever you use to lather) to get the cream off the sides of the brush, that might help some too.

If not snot rocketing the shaving cream out of your nose is always fun, just don't use one with menthol.

Tried gripping the brush and the "improved soap-excising from nasal cavities method" this morning, and it worked far better. I still sneezed, but with time I'm sure it'll get better

Thanks for all your help!

When I shaved this morning I took note of how I lather under my nose and the answer is that I don't. I come over from each side on top of my mustache without actually going under my nostrils.
