Thread: Why do you like to face lather instead of using a bowl?

Can I get some tips for face lathering as well as the why you like face lathering from you face latherer's? I'm going to try to find some videos of face lathering but I'd like as much info as I can get. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just watched Lynn Abrams face lather. He wore his shirt for the demo. I tried face lathering once a few months ago and had soap and water everywher. On me, counter, sink, I think some go on the walls. Just kidding. Looks pretty simple. I was considering face lathering because I'm taking a trip in a few days and was considering not taking my scuttle. But, Lynn used a scuttle, or he said he normally does for keeping the brush warm. There goes my reason to learn face lathering. Maybe I can get away without it while I'm gone.

Lynn said he was using a cream. Are creams or soaps better for face lathering or does it matter?
