In the beginning of my shaving journey I`ve watched some videos on youtube for building lather in mug. I have tried, but actually I was not satisfied from results - my brush then (VDH boar) can`t hold the lather too long, even for 1 pass. So, I prefer since then face lathering - easy and simple Which one do you prefer, and is brush important for mug lathering method? I also think, that face lathering is more economical

Just seems to me that there are less steps involved. I usually am pressed for time, so to me it makes sense to go straight to a face lather. Now, I will admit to using a bowl or mug, but I will heat it up with hot water and leave hot water in the sink.
Then when I'm done lathering on my face, I can leave the brush in the bowl, in the hot wate in the sink. So when I go back to face lathering, it is still warm

For me 99% of the time is Face Lathering...I found it softens the whiskers better than any other technique. Plus, when face lathering is easier for me to find the exact soap/water ratio I want to achieve.

That's a cool ad. I use my bowls to hold tubes of shaving cream and sticks of shaving soap.

Such a cool add. I think I might make a colgate stick soon. I face lather unless I use my scuttle. I think next I will get a brush scuttle. ordinaryshaver youshould check them out. I will probably order one from dirty bird pottery tonight.

Lather in the bowl, on top of the puck, just like my old man did.

They be pretty. But being a cold water only shaver, I have no use for a scuttle.

But like a gentleman far wiser than I once said, " Alot of people do alot of things". Of course when someone goes too far astray.....Well didn't the good book say, "If you 'Spare the brick, you spoil the shaver..."?
