As I see it - the following are the advantages of face lathering:
1) The biggest advantage IMO - is the extended time your whiskers get to spend with the lather and soak. The longer it soaks - the easier it is to cut
2) More exfoliation & getting the hair to 'stand up' (I'm not sure this is a real thing; if it is though - you do it more with face lathering vs bowl)
3) Less hassle - there are no bowls or scuttles to buy/handle/clean
The only reasons I can see for bowl lathering is that:
1) Face lathering requires additional skill
2) Some complain that face-lathering scratches/exfoliates their face too much (although again - I think this can be solved with skill upgrades)
Would love you hear your opinion on this.

Edit: No offense is implied whether you face or bowl lather. Just trying to understand pros/cons of each method.
