Great shave !! New boars eat lather like crazy after they break in they are amazing.

I have 2 Omega boar brushes, and found if you soak them long enough they're fine. Don't need the break in stuff. They will start to split the ends on their own. I noticed they started to hold a tiny- weeny more soap. Which is a good thing. Out of box I was frustrated with having to reload more soap for third pass, but that went away. They are definitely slightly different in lather method than a badger or synthetic.

PAA CaD! Great Barbershop scent. Definitely more water maybe a touch less product too. That stuff is almost unbeatable once you get the soap/water ratio down. Keep up the good work here! I think it will get dialed the more you use it for sure. Edit: the brush could be another reason for the lackluster lather build. Natural brushes can require more product per shave
-
that brush is a favourite of mine too, a lot of wet shavers with money will overlook these things for more premium products & that’s not near as fun as finding these kind of hidden gems

Boar brushes eat lather. I always bowl lather with a boar. That's why I use a synthetic when I face lather. I will say that if you soak a boar, it will work better. I just don't like to "work" to get a lather.

Boar and Badger brushes are a bit more hungry for soap compared to synthetics. From my experience the boar brushes demand a bit more product compared to the rest. Pretty much matching your voiceover comments 😉 Boar brushes feel great on the skin through. Cheers Mully!

LOL. I had the same issue in my last video.. More water! Some soaps are just so dang thirsty. Great shave sir!

I admit, I'm kinda new to boar brushes, they fo breaking to try snd soften brush, but I don't think gor me that's the case. For me I found as brush breaks in as I use it it begins to hold a little more soap or water, making it to start lathering better. It did lather thin and wouldn't hold much soap or water at first. But getting better with use. Don’t think it's broke in all the way yet for me.

Love the Kia blades as well. Fantastic!

Great video dude thats a great brush i have the black omega one getting a dry brush lather happens thats like a 28 mm brush so it needs more product if you have a Japanese website id get a 20 mm boar brush for 10 bucks buy omega you wont need so much product

I get consistent lather with a variety of soap by measuring both the soap and water. It eliminates all the variables. Uncle Bob’s recipe is: 1/32 tsp of soap to 1.25 tsp of distilled water. I agitate in a bowl for 75 seconds. Boom. Lather.
-
0.156 mL soap to 6.26 mL distilled water.

I agree with the people here claiming that your issues were mostly in the brush. I will say that I do not spare product when I'm shaving. I have so many soaps that I almost put more on there on purpose so I have to buy more. Because I'm going to buy more anyway. There's other things to be stingy on.

Hi Molli, your Omega seems to be the right size for your big hands and its a nice big bowl with just perfect size and form. Omega got it right and like I prefer my blondes - natural, unbleached, without a black band (showing roots) and with long hair (bigger loft). People miss out without a such a blonde in their den. My jewish buddy inspired me to such comparison by calling his Omega "my unkosher blonde shikse".
