And frequent trips to the boy's room eats up a lot of time.....
So does refilling the old coffee cup.....

I do both. Lathering in a bowl is a bit more to my liking but face lathering works well too.

However, I love the time spent getting up an hour early so I can have a nice slow relaxing luxurious shave! Sometimes a little music, if I want to work the lather in, I have time. If I want to strop in between passes, I have time. If I want to change razors, soap, whatever, I have time. I am always reading about what someone had to do because they are running short on time. Have some self discipline and make the commitment! You won't regret it! BTW, I work anywhere from 10-12 hrs a day, and like to do things when I get home, small projects mostly, or hunting for razors, just keeping busy. You can sleep when you're dead...besides, I would rather be busy than bored.

I last posted last November. Methods have changed. Switched to cold water shaving. Far less irritation and other problems. Sold the scuttle, use a plastic salsa bowl from Walmart ($1.50) modified with epoxy bumps and lines. Still do uber lathers and working on a method to have freezer cold shaves come hot summer.
