If you think about it,
men use a shaving brush for a few hundred years. There is probably a good
reason, right? Certainly. The invention of shaving cream in an
aerosol can is incredibly convenient, we do not deny, but it certainly is not
the same advantages as a shaving brush.
A shaving brush is for
the user a lot more benefits than just applying shaving cream, and we go a
couple of those benefits through with you.
·
The shaving brush makes it possible to divide the shaving soap
evenly. Hand you better do a good job, but it just does not compare to the
shaving brush. The shaving brush makes it possible to apply the optimum
thickness, and it allows you to make a smoother layer.
·
The bristles of the brush exfoliate your skin. They
penetrate the skin to soften your face before shaving. This is also good
for your skin after shaving; it helps to keep your skin healthy, and it
helps against irritation caused by shaving, ingrown hairs, etc.
·
Your face it focuses on allowing the shaving angle is better. This
generally gives a smoother and longer lasting results.
·
Through the use of a shaving brush, it is possible to use less
shaving cream or soap. There are a few reasons for this: you use a smaller
amount, so this is going to last longer because you make in an effective way,
the brush makes it possible to adjust the thickness of your product. If
you use a shaving soap stick / drive, he should go about two times longer than
if you use shaving cream.
So you will, if you
have used a shaving brush, generally have more control over the application of
shaving soap. It makes for a smoother result, and it will stay longer
smooth.
The Accessories
1. Find a nice shaving soap stick /
disc. There are plenty of opportunities, we usually recommend Col. Conk
on.
2. Additionally, you will need some sort
of shaving mug. There are different types, it is important to remember
that does not need a ceramic copy to warm up, but if you want to take the time
to shave it will be longer keep warm. Metal shaving bowls heat up faster,
but also lose their heat more rapidly It might be a good idea to have one of
both to have you rush to the case.
3. There are several types of shaving
brushes. Usually people know this and choose not ultimately one that is
not good for their skin. Although there are different types, but they all
serve a single purpose. Find one that suits your skin type, it's a
well-spent expense, and buy a less expensive replacement and / or travel brush. These
are the different types of brushes:
·
Synthetic hair : Synthetic brushes are fine for beginners wet shearers
and for those who want to use no animal products. The bristles are of an
average hardness. Although they do not stick as good as the foam brush of
badger hair, they are still good for a wet shaving experience.
·
Bristles : Bristle brushes are stugst all shaving brushes. They
are also the least expensive. The advantage of bristles is easier coming
through the beard so that the pores open. Maybe not the most comfortable
brush, but it is certainly effective.
·
Ties Hair Brush ( pure badger ): The
ordinary badger Hair brush is the lowest quality badger hair brush which is for
sale, but the fact that it is a badger hair brush says a lot about the high
quality. It's a good mix of badger hair of the male tie, the bristles are
stiffer, but it's still badger hair. It is a very good middle brush, and
affordable.
·
Super Badger Hair (super badger) : Super Ties Hair brush is an
upgrade of the ordinary badger hair brush, but this is still not the best. The
bristles are less stiff than ordinary badger hair brush, but they are slightly
stiffer than the bristles of the silvertip badger hair brush, which we'll talk
in a moment about. It is the middle class under the brushes of badger
hair, and you recognize it to be plain white tips.
·
Silvertip badger hair (silver badger) : Again, it all comes down to
your style of shaving and the sensitivity of your face. But the
"silver tip" badger hair brush is generally considered the best
shaving brush which is for sale. This brush also has the softest brush
hairs which are there. But, you will have to pay for this luxury; these shaving brushes are on sale for $ 150 or more. If you wet shave seriously, you
will eventually have one. We advise you to buy a backup copy in case you
kids go play with your brush or if you need to travel.
4. You'll also need to invest in a
container. Not all of your shaving attributes need to fit into the holder,
but the shaving brush should definitely good in fit. Proper storage of
your shaving brush is absolutely necessary.These things are expensive, but you
will significantly extend the life of your shaving brush and store it properly.
5. Towels. You have a lot of needs,
ensure a good stock.
The process
We will the whole process of the use of a shaving brush with you
step by step through. Although you may not have all these accessories at
your disposal, you should be given the opportunity to choose between those
things that help you the most. And though sometimes you almost have,
understandably, it will save you time in the long run because you will less
often have to shave.
1. The shaving brush will only do its
job if you use it in combination with other specially designed accessories. Start
by dabbing your face with a warm towel. Give yourself such a treatment is
best, but there is not always time for that.
2. Post your soap stick / disk on the
bottom of your shaving. He needs good fit. If you bought too much, it
is warmed slightly in the microwave to make it softer. Once he has fallen
to the bottom of your bowl allows you to dry there.
3. Put some hot water in a bowl, put
your brush in there. Let him sit in the water until the bristles are
completely submerged. Once it does, you pull the brush out and tap it
against the side of the bowl to remove excess water.
4. Now you're so far as to make the
foam. Start by rubbing the soap stick / disc until you have a nice, thick
layer of foam that can be used to shave you. You can thus make the foam
that best suits your style. The more water you add, the thinner the foam
will be.
5. It's good to do a large amount of foam
on your brush. Try to apply the foam in a circular motion. This helps
to exploit the full potential of the brush. With each turn, you are at the
same time your skin to exfoliate, you put on beard hair straight, and a nice
smooth layer foam application.
6. When you have finished shaving, it is
crucial to take care to brush. Start with the towel dry the brush. You
do not want him put away soaking wet, but a moist brush is fine. This is
the time when the container comes into the picture. Hang your shaving brush
with the hair down into the holder. This allows the brush dries evenly and
naturally without bending or ruining the bristles of the brush. If you
keep him in the right way, you have to optimize your investment in your shaving
brush to it.
Finally
You are ready! Depending
on how you look at it, wet shaving can be a very rewarding process. Of
course, it's not as fast as some of us would like, but if you're there cares
about, I can almost guarantee you that if you wet shave correctly, it can later
save in the week, since you have to do it less often. And once the habit,
you will find your own style. As soon as that is the case, it would have
to go much faster.
Finally, there is just
something timeless and extremely masculine to using the shaving brush and
applying the foam on the way already done hundreds of years. We think that
once you've tried it once, it's unlikely that you go back to shaving cream from
an aerosol.
