Thread: Wanting to try face lathering

I agree backbone is more important than size for face lathering. But to tell you the truth a plain old floppy badger will work just fine for face lathering. It will take longer and be a bit more challenging but is no big problem really.

I will face lather once in awhile, but I prefer not too as the lather is not warm. Yes I know...... I'm spoiled.... I like my Dirty Bird Scuttle and warm lather. If not for the str8razor my man card might be in question

I love my dirty bird scuttle to death but I like a change of pace to

I face lather exclusively as well. I have several brushes from floppy to stiffer and they all work just fine. However, I only
use creams.

i face lather exclusively also and any brush will work, really, within reason.
If you want to get a Frank Shaving synthetic as a very good cheap brush that makes incredible lather, then i would highly recommend it.
A good TGN Finest knot will also be very good just as the Vie-Long horse-hair brushes, both of which are reasonably priced.
i prefer my custom Frank Shaving synthetic 24/48mm and the Chubby 1 two band along with the Rooney Heritage Stubby 1XL.
Good luck.
