Thank you Maestro

But at some point, even the barber had to learn this technique and start from somewhere . Part of the allure of it all is exactly what you eluded to earlier; the elusive and seemingly unattainable nature of lather building. The more unattainable, the more we wish it.

I would like to propose the creation of a new camp of latherers:

The FBL (Face & Bowl Latherers) Club!!!. For those of us who enjoy doing both.

I think mugs/bowls are more of for presentation at a barber shop. Think about it- the whole process of stropping/making a lather/straight razor shaving is designed to demonstrate the skill and un-obtain-ability of the barber's skills, lest he be out of business!

Food for thought!
