Lather Shots

Test face lathering MWF with Thater 4125/3 2 band.
This was my second attempt at lathering MWF with the Thater. The brush is huge and, like the Chubby 2, needs to be loaded for a long time. Like the Chubby 2 it also holds a lot of water so you really need to squeeze it out to get control of the lather.
Creating a lather with this brush takes a little practise.The first attempt had too much water too quickly. It was an airy lather that I wouldn't want to shave with. This one took a while to build as I was adding water very slowly. However, I could face lather with this brush all day.

BTW - it just goes to show what I've learnt from this thread. Beforehand, I may have been tempted to shave with the airy lather. Now I know that glossy, rich lather is possible with MWF. I also know what it takes to get there. Thanks @alfredus et al.
 
For all you synthetic users: yesterday I talked a bit with @bald as and I certainly agree on this observations:

when you use a synth and get the perfect looking shiny lather - does it feel/behave the same as the same shiny lather that you got with a natural hair brush?

Yes... (in short)... retains moisture just as well as the badger, just maybe not heat as much (but in Qld I don't need a hot lather tbh)

How do you find the maggards synthetic? I haven't been overly impressed with it.

Quite happy at this stage Have been using it a week. The tips are soft and there is substantial backbone. It can certainly suck up plenty of soap but I like to load heavy. No need to soak the brush and it dries quickly. Is it better than my shavemac or Simpsons? No but it was cheap.
