I broke my shaivng bowl, so I'm building lather with a sock.

So I broke my shaving bowl recently and I remembered an old method to make lather without a bowl. I'm going to use a regular cotton sock to make my lather. Definitely, not a permanent solution but it might be helpful if you don't have a bowl or brush handy. Are there any other funny ways to make lather out there?

What is wrong with using your brush and face lathering?

Dirty socks?

Dirty socks?

I agree with BobH.

I soak my brush in a shaving mug but it's too smooth inside to make lather easily so I have to use my scuttle to build lather.

Unless i feel really decadent and want warm lather i load my brush on the soap and then face lather, it's quick and easy.

I don't know how a person would lather with a sock but it sounds like a lot of aggro.

FYI I got a really good Qshave scuttle from amazon very cheaply.

I was just pointing out that a possible negative affect would be that you would not be cleaning your socks.

I didn't watch the video, but I bet it is the same way you hand wash a sock. Rub soap between two pieces of the sock and viola.

Im sure this would be for the guy desperate and not having a brush either. But I think Id use a wash cloth before my sock. Even a clean sock. Its just the idea. I mean why not use underwear? Any cloth would do but i bet putting soap in your hands and rubbing your face would work too.

So the idea was that you don't have a bowl or a brush. I've actually tried using a hand towel but I had better results with a thinner cloth, so I went with a sock. Mostly because it's unusual and the shape was convenient to use.

I already ordered another shaving bowl.

FYI- The sock isn't dirty.

I was wondering as the title of the post gave no indication you were negative a brush also. I suppose there are any number of ways to lather up without a bowl or brush.

Salsa bowl from Walmart- around $2
Coarse sandpaper to rough up inside - around 50 cents (one sheet)
3 pennies epoxied to inside of bowl

BOOM! Great lather bowl.

I feel so dumb, I spent $3 on a baby cereal bowl. But, it does have dinosaurs on it, so I guess that's worth a little extra.
