How many swirls?

[1Speedster]

Hard water makes for too many swirls with far too many soaps. That's all I've got in this regard.

I read the 100 swirls and thought....what! Then I took note today of what I did. Yes 100 swirls. ! I load fast and didn't realise this is about 8 swirls for about 15 seconds. I think we underestimate this. Brush is mainly chubby3. Ìt does make for a fab shave if you don't skimp on soap.

Gotta replace that idiotic "yogurty" descriptor with the more sophisticated and accurate 'merangue-like'!

I think you win the prize for the oldest resurrection in 2019.

Got hard water at my sink, too. I just keep a water bottle with a pull up spout filled with distilled water on the countertop. A 20 oz. bottle lasts a long time. Makes even otherwise Ho Hum soaps perform great!

How many swirls do you need to get your lather "Ron-ready"? Now, I'm not suggesting that anyone here is sufficiently anal (NB- I have a terrific story involving Mrs. Ouch, the word "anal", a stapler, and two stitches to my brow, but I'll save that for another time) to actually count their number of strokes, but anyone have a rough estimate?
I think I'm in the 200-300 range by shave's end, but, then again, I'm used to making a lot of omelettes.





Vidi, vici, veni.

Is that syd barret?

After many many years of soaps/creams, I eliminated the problem of building lather by using canned foam. Not sexy I know but perfectly adequate.
