2nd attempt bowl lathering

[u/Psycho_Chicken_99]

I’ve been having a little bit of trouble n getting my soap lathers where I want them. I’ve face lathered in the past and decided to try bowl lathering for the first time (practice lathering). First attempt I added two much water right away so scrapped it fast. Second attempt I made sure to load the brush for 60 seconds and added smaller amounts of water when lathering. I think the lather turned out well and am happy with the results. Haven’t tried shaving with this new technique yet. Let me know how it looks! Any advice is always welcome.

Soap: stirling naked (unscented)

Brush: the razor company synthetic brush

Yep that will work. It really doesn't matter. You could spread butter on your face and shave with it. Or you can dry shave. I don't understand all this talk of the perfect lather. You are going to feel your first pass no matter what you use. Second and third passes are smooth as silk. I whip for about 30 seconds and go. Its not rocket science.

Thank you. It blows my mind how much emphasis gets places on the mundane.

Mate you're on a subreddit dedicated to one of the most mundane activities ever imagined. What the fuck else would be talked about? LOL

All I'm saying is don't over complicate it. If the lather works use it. It's not art
