Found a nice bowl at a discount store (it even had my initials!). Now it's my soup bowl... I load the soap and then drop some cream in the brush. Straight to the face afterwards. Faster lathering than the bowl thing...

Yup!!!
I find myself grabbing my old boar brush and face lathering most days now. I am going to set the 2 band finest TGN knot in my next brush deeper just for this reason. If it ever gets here.
Face lathered for the first time today. Used a Simpson Colonel X2L Manchurian Badger with Tabac soap. Wow very fast and great lather. The Colonel made face lathering very easy.

Hi,
How about trying a brush with some shampoo?
Stan
possibly
You could even buy a shampoo brush...totally different kind of brush, but then I can't imagine a shaving brush pushing past my thick hair to reach the scalp on my thick skull.

same here. Looks interesting. Course you know I do have 10 fingers.....
Hi,
Um. Yeah. My fast thinking there. I have a crew cut, so way short. Never longer than 3/4 and cut to 1/3 of an inch. So, pretty close to being shaved. So, it immediately occurred to me that a shaving brush would work with shampoo. Not on everyone, of course.

I'm pretty sure if I buzzed my head with a #1 comb on electric clippers my hair would still be too thick for a shaving brush to get past.
I never have to worry that I will go bald, I don't think any of my ancestors on either side ever did have a single thin spot. I have had a grey spot since I was a child though...
I scalp lather every other day. It does feel great and it is easy to make lather with the stubble. Just takes a little more soap because there is so much more territory to cover up there.

Yeah. Can't even think of myself becoming roof-less....
Wow!
Today, got back to MWF with my Rooney 1/1: elegant, luxurious, awesome, great shave!

Hi,
I am due for a clipping from SWMBO this weekend. Even so, I took my poor old used-for-over-25-years recently retired boar brush and used it in the shower last evening to shampoo my hair. I have to say, that felt odd....
I, too, have all my hair and way too much of it. And, started seeing the gray hairs at age 16. I was a late-born child to my parents. In High School, there were quite a few of us tail-end Boomers and we all had the same experience. Something about being born late.

Edit: we also had a few cases of uncles/aunts and nephews/nieces in the same grades. (!)

Thank you, sir!
Anxiously waiting for pics!
And next time you're around, we'll try some Islay liquid... won't we?
I am looking forward to posting them, that will mean I've had the time to tackle the restorations
And you know I do love a good scotch, pick your poison sir!
I've been really getting into the finer bourbons here lately though. Does that make me a traitor?
Knob Creek has been frequenting my glass more and more here lately...I have never tried it, but that Knob Creek looks impressive (nine years...).
Knob creek is nice, but Noah's Mill is better, although I do have some Laphroig small cask and Ardbeg Ugi in the liquor den.
ran some Biotique Palmyra around my face yesterday with a WD silvertip and must say our brothers from India are onto something.

I'm in!
My BK 12 was staring at me all sad eyed this morning, so I turned her loose on some Mikes Orange and wow! What a great brush! Have I mentioned that? It's really getting broken in and soft w some back to it. Think I'll put a large sized dab of proraso green cream on it tomorrow and see what happens.. 🆒
