Geez - guess I never gave this much thought...I've always "face lathered", whether it was with the old cartridge razors and canned goo, or when I got into straights. Started simply swirling the brush in a tub of Proraso until it looked right, then lathered it on my face, no problem.

Scuttle is nice for some nice warm/hot lather once in awhile....
