Are you sure you don't want to consider bowl lathering then?
I have tried it, and it works fine but I really find it unnecessary. The lathers are no more consistent than with face lathering, plus I don't like bowl clinking. There's just something very direct about face lathering which I like. My shave routine is very simple. No prep, not even a shower. Wet the face, lather up, shave, cold water splash to finish and done. I believe that with a carefully cultivated technique, repeatable perfect shaves are achievable with this straight forward approach. I'm fairly sure my Grandad had an even simpler way of shaving, though he sometimes used Brut or Old Spice as an aftershave.
