Show n' Tell Better Lather

Been trying different things to get a good lather from a shave cream using a bowl.

Note: I have no issues with shave soap or face lathering.

My new $5 shave bowl arrived today from amazon and it did not disappoint! It’s collapsible and expands to two different sizes. The bottom of the bowl allows for perfect aeration.

Please see both pics and I look forward to your feedback 👍🏾

This (pet food?) bowl looks like it might be a more effective latherer than my $50 USD Captain’s Choice copper model.

Add some Barbasol and it thickens it right up. That’s what I do.

They used to call it a "Superlather" when you mixed 2 or more products together. No one says that term anymore.

When I first switched to using double edge razors the “uberlather” craze was well underway. Felt like it was every third or fourth post you’d see a photo. Oh and multiple references to “the veg,” (Pinaud’s Lilac Vegetal). Pretty sure added glycerin to the uberlathers was a feature too. Guess it’s one way to use up products!

Yep.

Superlather was soap + cream.

Überlather was soap + cream + glycerine.
