    Great shave, Joe! I do bowl lathering 95% of the time. It's just thicker and richer that way. I still work the brush on my face before painting the lather on. This forces the soap right into the beard. I also re-whip before re-applying for the next pass. When I add a spot of cream soap to the mix, it gets REAL rich!

    I'm glad you commented on the bottoms helping the grip.I always held mine by the sides-course mine aren't as fancy as these.

    My Bill Neumann soap is out for delivery today!! As I said earlier, I hope I can take the lid off successfully-if not I'll have to snap it open and take out the soap to use in a bowl.

    I leave the soaps right in their containers and I bloom them in the jar andthen pour off water hold them over my lather bowl while I load the brush letting the lather drop into the bowl. When it looks like I have enuff, I set aside the jar and start whipping in the bowl adding water as needed in tiny amounts. Less than a minute and I have a good bowl full! :)

    This just a suggestion that works well for me.

    I'll see if that works-course it would be harder if I have to hold the lid open, so it doesn't snap shut while the loading persuasion is happening.

    It's a challenge to come up with a proper name for the Razorock soap that comes Thursday...I'll just have to call it what THEY call it..."XXX Italian Shaving Soap". but the thing is I bet there are many XXX soaps in Italy with similar titles (shaving soaps, that is).

    Awesome three pass shave this morning. The GSK is a mild razor but boy is it smooth with a Feather.

    I discovered Azalea City Suds on Etsy and ordered a few shave soap samples today. It is a Mobile, Alabama seller and seems to garner goods reviews on YouTube. I figured it would be worth a try.

    Happy Hump Day everyone!
