Great video. There is definitely an art to this. I am 55 yrs old and have always shaved in the shower with whatever soap and razor I had available but now that I am older, I can’t see in the little mirror anymore and I’m tired of shitty shaves so I hopped on KZread and found your video. I purchased some $18 Vikings blade and a $35 parker badger brush and and a shave bowl I found on eBay with ridges. I may have added too much water on my first round so I will try again tomorrow. Thanks young man for sharing!

So I guess I'm the only girl here but I use a straight razor for shaving my legs and all and I love LOVE the fact you made this video for all of us out here. Fabulous lather is a MUST for shaving my legs and this helped so so much! So for all us girls I say a giant THANK YOU!

heather...as a fellow gal let me hook you up with some advice...start shaving your face. no joke. I am a hair shy of 52 years old and my face has never felt smoother and healthier...EVER. your facial hair wont get dark and hard like a dudes does...that's a myth. chase that tallow soap with some witch hazel and a nice balm. getcha some tallow based soaps with lanolin and watch your face just glow. just saying. I straight razor shave legs and face. de razor my armpits.

Highonimmi, thanks for your comment. But shaving is different for a man then it is for a woman. We have a thicker beard, along with shaving for decades . Plus we have male testosterone which makes our beard thicker. But women always think that man's shaving is the same as their legs.

@highonimmi

I have yet to meet a female who thinks their hair is the same. the lather she is talking about is prolly not for the hair it's for how it feels on our skin. I could use shave oil on my legs but, I prefer the silky feel of the plush lather. I use a lathering soap on my face for the same reason as my legs plus, I can see where I need to shave without wearing my glasses. now, I have known a few gals who looked like a wookie they had so much hair on their face. kinda looked like Chewbacca with a rack.

This video deserves a million views. The wet shaving community is so passionate and opinionated. Richard does not disappoint! In the first 3 minutes he calls out wet shavers across the globe and then proceeds to build a lather for 30 minutes to prove them wrong!!! I commend this KZreadr and will no longer shave unless I have spent a half hour building up a lather. Maybe my shaving brushes will not last as long, but my lathers will be frothier. I have the funds to buy more brushes and shaving soaps. That's half of the fun anyway! Cheers

I celebrated 2 birthdays watching this video.

I totally get what you just said!!! I too used to shave in the mornings... a quick shave to get rid of the stubble and I’m off to work. Now, shaving is a ritual for me after a hot bath at the end of the day to totally unwind. The wonderful scents, the sound of the brush swirling in my bowl (btw, a coarse bowl gets the lather going much quicker), and the shave itself. What a perfect way to end a tough day at work!

Thank you for taking the time to make a bowl lathering tutorial. I mostly face lather but do bowl lather on occasion. I am definitely trying your method. And who cares if someone doesn't like your video's length? Just keep enjoying what you're doing.

I haven't been able to find part 2 of this video. "Dealing with hangovers and massive blood loss". All kidding aside, that is an awesome lather.

"this soap" belch "is an amazing soap" hahahaha

I half expected you to pass out at any minute

Just when I thought I was pretty good at Wet Shaving, I see this and took it to a whole other level! Thanks Mr. Hansen!

This video is bad ass. I just started wet shaving and I’ll definitely use this method!!!! Keep em coming I just subscribed!!!!

This is one of my favorite of your videos, rich. I had been face lathering only with Stirling but now I'm going to try with the bowl. Great video!

What you said at 15 and a half minutes in about how shaving used to be a chore, but now you do it after work to enjoy it... I'm there now. My girlfriend got my a Merker Futur for Christmas last year after she saw me watching some of Geo Fat Boy's videos. I used to have shaving so much I'd just use a beard trimmer a few times a week to keep my face clean. Whenever I'd shave with a razor, I'd get awful razor burn. New blades would be better, but they only lasted comfortably for two or three shaves, and 5 carts are nearly 20 dollars. Now I can get 50 blades that last a week each for that price. I love shaving now. It's comfortable, relaxing and it feels incredible. The learning curve was not at al what I was expecting. I cut myself a few times the first few weeks, but it's so easy to get the hang of.

I watched at 1.5 and forgot about it completely 😂

Thank you. I learned from watching this video. You know what you're talking about. If I use this technique for building lather, I know it will take the lather I produce to an almost inconceivably better level. Thanks again.

Thank you Rich - You are down-to-earth, frank , no BS or overselling -- it is what it is -- and you have correct - You are having fun making this video for us and helping with tips, not because you have to or need to; taking your time, sharing in an unrushed fashion. Hilarious! Appreciation for your shares. Yes. I am 1 week new to DE shaving and honestly "sold" and currently not getting a great lather. I have been using a Canadian brand DE light and long, beginner Saftey for 2 months and never knew what I was really missing....Being as coachable a possible, making mistakes and having fun and loving my Merkur 34C even more, over the tried and returned Viking Chieftan 5BC, Parker Variant and experimenting with razors... but the LATHER is important. Thanks. BTW--- love that you reference your brother in his conversion to DE --- I just convinced my oldest son in Air Force, who needs to shave daily for duty, as he was having rash and hates shaving with his cartridge, battery operated multiblade Gilette? Who didn't realize change blades often? Oh well.; it's OK. I just sent him an intro DE kit -- Now he will be watching this vid for lather. Making young men embrace the shave. Cheers and looking forward to my sample order of soaps from Stirling too.

I agree with you on bowl lathering vs face lathering. I think some people, depending on the type of water they have, can make similar lather, but for me and my water, bowl lathering is so much better because I can pump much more water and air into the mix to create the slickness and cushion I desire. I can't do that with face lathering.

This is singlehandedly the best wetshaving KZread video I've ever watched

Subscribed now because of this video😂 just love how yourself u were gotta appreciate that and thats for the awesome tutorial rich

It was tough to get through this video but it was worth it. I learned a lot. I was getting frustrated with wet shaving because I could never get a good lather. Now I'm enjoying it more than ever because I finally know how to lather.

Shaving with Rich video clips are a wonderful way of enjoying wet shaving, I get a kick in seeing your clips Sir !

Wow! Absolutely amazing how in-depth this video is about the level of knowledge and details the man puts in. I seriously appreciate and love this kind of approach! Totally agree that the more time and preparation I put into such process the better the end result will be. And besides, if done during evening time won't have to worry about none of it in the morning and have more productive time to put into other important things. Also my face won't look like I shaved with a dull lawnmower since I'm farily amateur to wet shaving with quality razors and sharp blades. Excellent video tutorial! Thank you Rich!

Put the playback speed to 1.25 and it sounds perfectly normal 🤷🏻‍♂️

That lather looks foKING RAWWWWWW!

lol what a character - the lather video to end all lather videos !

Wow, awesome lather Rich! Sometimes I spend the time to do this, sometimes I'm much quicker - maybe 4 or 5 mins bowl lather or a face lather. It's like having steak, if I cooked & ate steak every night it's nice to have a burger once in a while - not disputing steak is a real treat.

Great video. I've been having trouble lathering I've never used a bowl to lather so I have to try this. I had a question can you get this good of a lather if you didn't go to the soap bowl for the second load ? Meaning do I have to use this much soap ? Or did you just use that much soap to really show the lather? Also could I get this kind of a lather with a boar and a badger brush as well ?

I just started DE shaving. Now I know how to make a great lather. Thanks

Did you shake or ring out the brush before loading it?

Thanks for giving us permission to hit the soap more than once. You advise us to use a bowl that you instinctively know you should have and use no extra water at first. Don't shave in the morning, take some time. Thanks for this good video.
