Great job and a great help. Just did the face lathering thing for the first time. I think the bowl is about to be sent to the far reaches of the shave den...

Glad this helped you. I still keep a bowl around for the rare occasion that I use a cream. For some reason I still like lathering creams in a bowl even though face lathering would work.
Great post!! Tried this method this morning. Awesome lather. Cheers Kyle.
I think someone should sticky this.
Glad you folks are enjoying this one. This post and many other awsome tutorials are listed in this Shave Clinic forum sticky thread:

I definitely like this lathering method. Working a soap in a bowl was confusing for me. Just couldn't get the lather right. I got some new C&E Sandalwood soap in the mail today and had to try it out. Forgot I shaved this morning and ate my face up, but the lather was fantastic!
I definately suggest Face Lathering to anyone with C&E soap.
Thanks guys, I needed this! And it worked out great this morning. The bowl lathering tutorial is good as well, I've to admit, but the bowl-thing is just too much ado for me.
Directly from soap to face is the way to go, yesss!

Good job on a good tutoruial
Great tutorial - I didn't believe in face lathering before, I love my little bowl too much but it seems that I get more from the soap than charging a brush and building lather in the bowl. Great work!
Very good tutorial! Very, ahem, slick.
I do. But on the other hand, my brush became so thin (it is a cheap Wilkinson brush I inherited from my dad) I have to reload between passes anyway, so I don't mind/bother.
And this way my lather on very pass is as good as on the first pass.
I rinse my face with warm water before I apply lather for second and third passes. I don't have a problem with the lather getting too thin. I would try to get more soap into the brush when you are first charging it up. Also don't add as much water to the brush when creating lather on your face for the first pass.
Any recommendations on adjusting methods for cream users?
I generally wipe cream on the cheeks if from a tube, or dip the damp brush in if it's a tub. Works fine.
Love the face lathering 
Unfortunately (and perhaps embarrassingly) I get this;
