Liked Euro Palmolive as a stick, LOVE it grated into a bowl

I see lots of comments of people grating sticks. Are you guys bowl lathering or face lathering? Sticks are designed for face lathering. If you bowl lather, use a puck. Grating a stick doesn't change the consistency or composition. I face lather with soaps, cream, but prefer sticks.

Strictly a bowl latherer. Do not like face lathering past applying my already prepped lather whatsoever.

I only face lather. To me it seems like I get a better soap load in my brush with a grated stick vs applying directly to my face.

Bill, you just made my point. Looks and acts like a puck, then use a puck. I know; "the brand only comes in stick".

Yep, it's a brand thing. I only mill "special" stick-only soaps - LaToja (excellent) and Valobra (outstanding) are the two milled "pucks" in my daily roatation that fall into this category.

Okay so I grated Speick into my vacant OS mug and again, I like it so much better than the stick form. Intended use be damned!

I grated the Euro Palmolive into an Ikea Grundtal bowl:)) I really like this "soap's" performance and for 2€ it's a steal!!!

I face lather with sticks, pucks, creams, and even mix uberlather on my face. Shave sticks are the quickest and simplest way to face lather

Well that works for you, but it doesn't work for me.
Palmolive sticks are dirt cheap here in the UK. I put my stick in a bowl, but I don't use a cheese grater or a rolling pin or a mallet. I just mash the thing down with my thumbs, not as soft as Arko, but still soft enough to use my thumbs.

I'm going to have to try greeting these or putting the in a bowl from now on. Palmolive sticks are 50 pence in tesco here in the UK some felt compelled to buy some

Palmolive is all I use. After my bad reaction to cella I decided to stop experimenting and use what works. I use the stick for travel and for home I have three sticks squashed into the red tub the Cella came in.

Hobby and AD aside there's no need to look anywhere else.
