New Video: The SCIENCE of Lathering

Check it out - thought we'd take a more analytic approach to how the various brushes compare. 

Comparing brushes, temperature, and lather yield.

Very cool! I love scientific analysis of things like this. Makes we want to see one comparing different grades of badger hair or maybe different boar brushes as I wonder about the effect of different lofts, density of the knot and different grades of bristle.

Love the scientific approach...not sue about choice of brushes though

But the worst bit: shaving advice from somebody with a beard...simply feels wrong

Very good info there.

Thank you for posting the video, it's very informative.

Great and informative video, thanks for posting.

Great Video! Enjoyed watching.

I liked this a lot. Very thorough.

The beard is always right! He, like others, chose to grow it out. Could have more expertise and advice than many, so don't fret. He use to be clean shaved anyway.

That video was great! Thanks a bunch.

That was a very well produced video and very informative, thank you for sharing.

Very well done vid, thank you for making it. I don't know though about the comment on what to do about lather that dries and flakes and to use a pre shave to help the situation. Lather that dries and flakes is lather that is not made properly in the first place. A better solution might be to suggest practice lathering till you can produce a lasting and stable lather in the first place.

wooooo nice video!

Wow..... Great video.  Really makes me re-visit going to a synthetic brush.

Nice video and I enjoyed the comparisons. 

That being said, you lost credibility when you popped-up the info on PG.  I agree that canned foam should not be used on your face, but PG is the least of our concerns. PG is in everything -- ice cream, pharmaceutical products, etc. The reason PG replaced EG in many anti-freeze and brake fluid applications is because it is non-toxic but provides the same benefits of not freezing in temps well-below 32*. So now adays if your kid or dog drinks a little anti-freeze (composed of PG rather than EG) they won't die. What a horrible chemical.

Good video, lot's of info.

beautiful

Thanks for posting!

This really helps
