    OK... Adding entry #2 anyway: The baby's bottle brush, now I know it's a brush so it's cheating, but hey, it lathered.

    The lather actually came quite readily:

    Now the only real problem is that the lather went EVERYWHERE!!!!

    Now after a thorough application I ended up with a very uneven but full facial lather:

    Baby's bottle brushes would definitely work in a pinch!

    Friends, today you are in for a special and RARE treat: a glimpse of the inner workings of the Brush Works here at Cangooner Industries. You will also be witness to the production of an extremely limited edition Rosemary Snaffler brush.

    Step 1: locate your source material.
    1a - slightly out-of-control involuntary donor rosemary plant in need of some trimming. Check!

    1b - an appropriate length of highly specialized rosemary brush binding ligature stock (aka string) - Check!

    1c - expert supervision (Walter and the Dude) and caffeine - Check!

    Step 2: Prepare and assemble your parts

    Step 3: Lather away

    The result? Well, I was using Mama Bear's Rosemary Mint soap, so this was definitely the rosemary-est shave I have ever had. And I suspect supper will definitely have a whiff of rosemary about it as well.

    Thanks to Tarkus for the message inspiration

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    I thought that was a toilet brush at first....

    This looks fun, can I play?

    So last weekend I was awarded some nice hemp rope at the BladeSports cutting competition.


    So I took a bit from the floor after my run and taped it together:


    It seemed to lather up *fairly*, so I gave it a shot:




    The "brush" was shedding a bit. It probably would serve as a pretty good test for your razors edge though. I think in a pinch, I would opt for the toilet brush, or a dirty sock instead.

    This thing actually did a great job. The CO Bigelow just sprang to life in the mug in about 2/3 the time it would take with my VDH brush. It's a little harsh on the face so don't swirl but painting on the lather was actually comfortable.

    There went my idea.
    Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?

    Aye, but tarred, wormed, parcelled and served might give ye different results. A frayed knot?

    I'm surprised that no one commented on the diaper and BBS... I'm disappointed.
