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.
A really nice boar brush.

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.
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.
This is my favorite for face lathering:

I'll have to try it with my Zenith when I get it in, using more soap.
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.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem.

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.

Did you receive your Zenith 502 brush yet? I ordered mine from YourShaving.com also and am still waiting for it.
Yes I did receive my Zenith 502 brush from yourshaving.com. I received it on November 13.

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.
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.

I hope you enjoy your 507 as well.
Same.
I’m in Canada.
I ordered two Zenith brushes from Spain on November 1st. The tracker hasn’t been updated since November 3rd.I’m hoping for a positive update soon!
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.
I have to say I don't just have another order from Spain but two (one from youshaving and one from gifts and care) coming in and the have been slower than normal so I am not sure what is going on to be honest. Its weird as they are usually quicker and provide more updates.
I am sure everyone here will get their stuff, like I said I haven't had any issues ie everything I ordered has come thru, just no updates and it been slower than normal is annoying but that's all I can say really.

How does the 502 knot compare to the 507? I had the 507, which has too much splay and too little backbone for my liking, wanting to pick up one of their butterscotch offerings and wondering if the 502 knot is scrubbier with more backbone. Anyone try both?

I finally got my Zenith brush in today. It is really nice right out of the box. You can whip up a bunch of lather in no time at all.
