Has anyone used a Zenith brush with a shave stick to face lather? I have never had any luck making lather with a boar brush and a shave stick. I'm lucky if I get one pass done. Never a second pass.
I face lather sticks, creams and soaps exclusively and don't have a problem face lathering with any of my boars. If you can't get a stick to work with a boar you probably need to use more product (half a gram to a gram) and more water added in slowly. Make sure your face is white with soap and start face lathering with a damp brush and slowly add water.Has anyone used a Zenith brush with a shave stick to face lather?

I have used the Razorock 506u (rebranded Zenith) to face lather quite a bit last year. The brush isn't my favorite for face lathering sticks as it tends to flick the lather around.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem.I have this issue with just about all boars.
They just don't get on with sticks!
Two passes max, but I need lather for a dull 4 passes!
No trouble with tub loading though.
Did you receive your Zenith 502 brush yet? I ordered mine from YourShaving.com also and am still waiting for it.I order mine thru yourshaving.com. I ordered mine on November 2 so its coming soon.
I do have a Zenith 502 in Manchurian badger so I really like the shape, height, width and looks of the handle.

That's about 11 days' time from when you ordered it. It's been 11 days since I ordered mine. I hope I get it soon.Yes I did receive my Zenith 502 brush from yourshaving.com. I received it on November 13.
You will. I add that it really is a nice brush so I hope you enjoy it once you get it. I hate waiting myself, when things are slow or tracking isn't updated but thus far with all my yourshaving.com orders I have not had any issues or for any other vendors that are from Europe so. I had another order of Zenith's from youshaving.com, taking a big longer but its on its way, more boar brushes of course, 507's in this case.That's about 11 days' time from when you ordered it.

Same.I am getting impatient. My brush is coming from Spain to the USA. I don't know how long it will take.
I can't wait to try it.
Maybe the already doing this, but you should use canadapost.ca for your tracking within Canada. Once your parcel reaches Canada, Canada Post updates are up to date.Same.
