I used to think the same way..."I had to shave" But ever since I saw all of Manitc's videos, now i love shaving, to the point that i have several brushes, blades etc. I even switch to straigh razor shaving which i love

Mantic, thanks for giving directions like this to us younger trad dude types who appreciate the finer classical things of life, but can't learn them from our dads cause THEY never did them.

One thing they forgot to mention about position for drying the brush is to look at the brand label on the handle. Dry the brush in which ever position orients the label upright.

Is it better to let the brush dry hanging upside down? I just got a very expensive custom Badger brush...and haven't used it yet because I'm afraid of shortening the life of the brush if I let dry base down / hair up. Should I wait until I can get a brush stand / holder? I'm very new to safety razors so this is very new to me...and I'm just learning as I go along. Thanks again! Great videos

Grand, I think this was one of your best videos to date. I have a question, though, can you specify a UK/European counterpart to... Borax, was it? Never heard of it before.

Hey cool vids! I just bought a merkur25c and "vintage"aristocrat badger brush. I think the brush is used I bought it off eBay . I should soak it in vinegar? Also is this a good set-up I have never tried shaving like this before. I'm 23 and have a full thick beard and I have tried every cartridge razor and i get Razor burn from them all. Hope this works good. I'm also bidding on a Gillette Travel razor From the 50's in original leahter pouch!!

mantic, I haven't really ever dried mine properly (a men-u one), just left it to drip-dry in the the wee stand it came with. Can it be revived or will I just have to buy a new one? About to try DE shaving for the first time tomorrow - hopefully less irritation than my Mach 3!

Sorry if this is a bit off topic. How would you rate the Merkur HD Slant bar? I've been using a regular Merkur HD for a while, and have read that the slant gives a closer shave if you've had some practice with a traditional safety razor. Thanks

Mark, about not shaking the brush after the shave? I always have shaked it afterwards, but keeping the hold gently on the outer whiskers, so the shake is not like i wave it only holding from the handle. Badger hair brush IMO looses the moisten very easy that way, but the force does not go at all I think to to the glue knot. Am I completely wrong with this opinion?

If you like to keep your badger brush cleaning routine as strict as possible, keeping in mind the ferocious weasel's natural habitat: the open grassland of North America, just throw some creek water on that bad boy
