I dont have much to compare it to considering Im new to wet shaving with a DE. but it is much better than the straight Van Der Hagen. much Thicker, and much more slick. Also a 100% better than the Gel that I used to shave with
I have a Kuerig, I put purified water into the machine, dispense the water into a bowel; set my VDH Pure Badger brush into it, .
Just FYI, putting your brush in near boiling water is one of the fastest ways to destroy it
I typically figure that, if it's too hot to comfortably put my hand in, it's too hot to soak my brush in.
Thanks, Greek Guy & Shavely Mandan, I will cut the hot water with cool water. When I was using tap water, it was a weaker lather. I am a newbie at this and learning my way through this great skill.
