    Default U2BL: Ultimate 2 brushes lathering

    Here's the background: I like how my boar brush lathers hard soaps, much more than my badger brush. It lathers in seconds, and creates a rich, thick cream, as I like it. But. On my face I prefer the badger, it is softer, it massages my face much better. What to do? Well, the U2BL, or, the ultimate 2 brushes lathering(TM).

    Develop the lather with the boar (or synthetic), squeeze the lather left on the brush in the bowl, take the badger brush (wet&hot), distribute the lather on the face and keep using the second brush.

    Practice and practice again with you badger brush ;)

    I have here a semogue bristle 1 LE and seriously it's far far away from a 2 bands badger brush for face lather, even with hard soap.
    Perhaps it's cool for bowl but in FL it's a poor brush without backbone IMO

    Interesting. If it works for you...but
    You could try to find a boar brush with softer tips, there are many high quality boar brushes with a luxurious feel.
    You could try to find a badger brush with lots of backbone.

    I don't have a problem with it if it works for you! Have you tried putting a few drops of hot water on top of your soap before loading the brush?

    Or you could find some soft soaps that you like then use your badger on that. ;)
