Also, Barbasol is not lathering. It's Kung Fu with shavettes. Lather: Soap, water, air, normally mixed with a brush, often bowl.
I figure he's young and there's always time for him to enjoy the shaving part. When he longs for a greater variety of shaving soap he will return to lathering. I'm sure it won't be long with an older brother to chide him back in to lathering back up.
Yes. Next question. Its like real whip cream is made by hand the can stuff is fake to a chef. Even the one that says real.
I started out bowl lathering. Eventually I tried face lathering. I found it was easier for me to get exactly the correct water/soap ratio when face lathering. I also like that face lathering seems to drive the lather closer to my face. Unless I am planning an Uber-Lather, I always face lather.
