Thread: The Illustrated Guide to making Uberlather

Getting the water ratio for shaving correct is not half the battle it is the whole battle... If you don't want to use "Uberlather" itself, as we have seen some people just don't get it.... using the technique on the soap is a method all in itself that is called the "Safe method" for creating lather, only adding water to the base of the bristles will help your lather, there are quite a few tricks wrapped up inside the thread if you wanted to break it down...
Lather is a personal preference mine is to make the creamiest, richest, slickest most comfortable lather I can.... This does not mean that I have to spend tons of $$$$ doing it either, notice I did not say what soaps or creams I was using, it really didn't matter, I can whip together an Uber at the Gym every morning made out of Williams and Edge cream that costs pennies to make and shaves great.... or I can indulge myself and use CF cream and TOBS Milled soap..... the choice is yours!!!!!

Thanks for clearing that up! I will use less soap/cream now, because otherwise i will run out of my TOBS soon. LOL

Seriously though, I'm glad it works for you, but I just don't get the whole superlather/uberlather thing. Regular ol' shave soap with a brush and water does just fine for me!

Seriously though, I have heard of this new stuff..... It comes in a can, and you can just put it on your face and eliminate the brush and soap too....

I ubered up this morning and had a great shave! The only issues for me is that I hate to throw so much lather away after the shave. I Always seen to get about 4 times as much later as I can use at on time.

This is how you make yer lady happy too at the same time and eliminate that lather waste and let her use the rest to shave her legs with

Caution this will lead to her wanting you to make lather for her everytime... Once they try this instead of that canned goop yer are done my friend...

Kinda off topic but have you noticed any damage from soaking your whole brush in really hot water? I always try to keep the very base away from the water to the glue doesn't weaken.

Not so far, but that brush is only 8 months old....
