Initial Thoughts On Face Lathering

Up until today -from my first de shave until my shave this afternoon- I have always been a bowl latherer. Today was quite different. First of all, it was my good friends birthday last night, so there was a sweet party, and I crashed in my trusty hammock. Secondly, I had no razor nor shave soap until I made it back home later this afternoon. I gathered all my shaving supplies and headed to the bathroom (there is no counter space on a pedestal sink. It is shenanigans) put everything in a sink full of hot water and took a shower. When I was finished, thr was when I realized that I forgot my trusty ol' lather bowl. Meh, I thought why not try a face lather and see what all the fuss is about. My first try left the lather rather thick and pasty on my face. After a short dip of the brush in water I tried again. Much better. It was a good way of doing it. Even though I didn't hate it, it feels like it was missing something, the bowl perhaps. I do however think I will face lather when traveling to save space.
