Hi all!
I recently went away on a job and stayed the night in a B&B. I took my shaving gear (HD and TOBS Rose cream). Since I was travelling I didn't bother taking bowl and decided to try face lathering.
I had an absolutely awesome shave (the first with Taylors Rose)!
Have now been face lathering with all my soaps and creams and have been getting great shaves.
Things I like:
- Less equipment
- Easier to clean up
- Tactile feel when lathering allows slickness to be judged on the face
- Saves time as you're lathering up and applying the lather simultaneously
All I need now is something (a small scuttle?) to keep the loaded brush warm between passes.
Has anyone else started out using a bowl and converted to face?
John
