Thread: What kind of Latherer are You?

I think the best description of my lathering style is "messy pragmatist".

James.

Whipper is the best description for me. Fast, straight, back and forth whipping. Makes a whipping noise too. The slapping of lather and brush on my face builds creamy slick peaks of epic and wakes me up!

Swirl it on then paint to even it out

I employ the whole toolbox of methods.

I'm a face latherer primarily and I start out vigorously swirling and adding water periodically until I get the thick lather I'm looking for. Then, I plaster it on. I used to bowl lather and I still sometimes start out with a bowl; however, I still end up spending a lot of time working the lather into my face with the brush anyway so I usually see no need to waste time whipping up lather in a bowl.

Lynn,

You may want to add "spackler" to the vote category. I know a little late.
Nice post.

I never thought about it till this poll was started .. I usually swirl neck , jawline and up to where I stop my sideburns then paint side to side on chin or lip area ...

+1 on that

I pretty much do it all, I start with the swirl, especially when I face-lather, then do some painting, then squeeze the brush to get some lather on the tip, then paint and swirl some more... Might be a placebo effect but I think if I take my time with the lather process it softens the beard that little bit more

Face latherer here using circular/swirling strokes to build the lather and painting strokes to spread it.
