    Wanna try something new? If you've never face lathered, here's your week to give it a go. (click here for a video on creating lather, to include face lathering)
    It's Face Lathering Week, part of our collection of Theme Weeks.

    I'm not crazy about it myself, maybe because I'm not that good at it. But I'll be a sport and have at it. Maybe by the time the week is over I'll be converted.

    Have fun, and be sure to let us all in on how it goes for ya!

    I typically get awesome results from face lathering. I also typically bowl lather. Ill see if I can go a whole week and not slip. I may try to find a little glass dish to sit on top of my mug for an improvised scuttle.

    What great timing. I was planning on using my Arko stick tomorrow and face lathering with it anyway. Looks like I'll be face lathering all week...:D

    That's funny, I actually tried face lathering today and it wasn't half bad. I didn't even realize I'd be doing it all week until now. :)

    Neolithium I am Canadian, eh

    OH BOY!!!! My Duke should be here by the last half of this, can't wait to try that puppy out. I also have my Silvertip Fibre but I bought a size more conducive to scuttle & bowl lathering.

    Put my Vulfix Grosvenor to use this morning with a puck of AoS Lavender.
    So far I'm still preferring a bowl, but the week is still young.

    I am typically a face latherer. The only time I don't is about 3-4 times a month when I use cream, and whip it up in the bowl.

    Monday: SOC & Proraso Green Tub

    Used my EJ89/Weber BullDog razor and #6 Horse as usual,but my first time using an Arco stick to face lather. Face lathering with the stick, didn't really make either a thick lather or a lot of it. But the shave wasn't unpleasent and I got a DFS with no irritation. I'm looking forward to improvement in the coming week.....:)

    Face Lathered today and I like the little bit of scrubbiness that I get from the best badger. Tomorrow face lather will be with my silvertip and I can't wait for it.
