Hey Ron!
How'd you use the La Toja stick to get such a great lather in a bowl?


I usually wipe the La Toja around my face like a giant Chapstick tube, then use a warm, wet brush to work up a nice face-lather, then shave. I never imagined using a STICK to work up lather in a BOWL! What is this mystical, arcane, crazy new science?
How'd you do that?

Sticks are great. I just rub it on the face and build the lather right on the face. NO BOWLS NEEDED. I also just rub a shave puck on the face and build lather.

 

I enjoy it that way, all I do is cut some slivers off the stick with my pocket knife and press them in the bottom of the bowl. Usually I get 2 lathering's with all my soaps and enjoy them that way and on to the next in rotation soap.
