One of the things I enjoy most about straight shaving, is the opportunity to change things.

Lately, I've gone from a strict face latherer, with only the occasional bowl lather, to a dedicated bowl latherer.

For me, I find I get more out of the soaps, the scent, the texture, allowing the soap to really lather up so nicely, and I'm finding it is far more consistent in getting a really good lather that feels great on the face.

I've always soaked my brush beforehand, but today I broke out my old scuttle, although I've used it a few times, it now has a spot in my shave den.

Anyone else make the switch?
