Thread: What kind of Latherer are You?

I prep my lather in a bowl and then proceed to paint it on my face which in turn lathers the mirror, the sink, the floor and anything else that is in lather splashing range

More fun than jumping into mud puddles when we were kids!

lol

I keep a squeegee in my drawer for when I can't find, much less hit my cheeks.

I usually run enough up my nose to generate one horrendous sneeze.

That's why I love a brush with a lot of loft,,,, just slap it on,,,

Im deffinately a swirler unless I use my big brush which requires a painting like stroke.

I'm a face latherer so pretty much swirl it on and then paint also. An artist though I'm not.

I too enjoy the lathering side of shaving. I mostly face lather from soaps, using swirling followed by painting finishing strokes. I definitely prefer soaps to creams because I enjoy partially reloading the brush for each pass or touchup. I probably use more soap than needed but I enjoy the lathering. My usual brushes are small to mid size.

SRD Scuttle Problem:
My lathering routine does have a problem. I watched many of Lynn's videos in which he uses the SRD scuttle to keep his brush warm. I got an SRD scuttle, thinking that it wouldn't work because of my multiple brush reloads. It The scuttle partially works for me but it could be much better. It seems to work best when the brush rests in the scuttle between passes with no reloads. Maybe I should also use hotter water.
Hint: Maybe Lynn should do a video on using the scuttle?

"other" because there's no "inconsistent" option. Last shave was the best as lather gets. Next shave???. I get wound up on selecting/stropping a razor and often don't do my soap justice with the badger. I figger in a few more years, i'll get a solid hang of it.

I get a tiny bit of soap on the brush after briefly wetting it and put a very thin layer on my face. This takes 20 seconds on a slow day.
