You know, I think I must be losing my memory, because I've only been straight razor shaving for four months and the other day I had trouble remembering how I used to lather! It was of course with cheap Palmolive cream in my cupped hand i the shower before shaving with probably the cheapest Bic one could buy. However, at almost 50 (hitting 50 is going to be harder than hitting 40) I'm looking back on my life a lot at the moment.
By the way, sometimes I face lather, but normally I bowl lather, for two main reasons; controlling the development of the cream (water/cream ratio) and because when I face lather it tends to go EVERYWHERE, over the mirror, wall, etc...

Not to the extent of your looks back, but when I lather with MWF, I find myself remembering my first shaves with a straight. Scent is a powerful memory trigger.
