Face lathering does not mean a cold shave. I soak everything in hot water before starting and I get a nice warm comfy shave that I feel, at least for me, is superior to scuttle, cup or bowl mixing.

Trying to get a decent shave with MWF is what made me a convert to face lathering. As far as the brush, I've used boar, badger, horse and synthetic and all seem to work well.
