Interesting Lather Method

[Bogeyman]

At first I was skeptical watching this, but the objective part of my brain realized that there is one constant in this method: the same amount of water is used every time, i.e., repeatability. I may try this on a whim.

What an interesting way to make a lather. I’m mainly a Scoop, press, & bowl lather guy, so I doubt if I will try this alternative face lathering method. Then again, I just might out of pure curiosity.
Thanks for sharing this video.

That looks kinda interesting. Might have to give that a go.

Interesting, but part of the experience is how the brushes feel making a lather. Maybe this isn't so important with those mediocre synth brushes which lack face feel anyway, but this method makes the brush barely relevant. May as well get your lather from a can.

Uhhh... that was interesting. But he also used one of the best soap bases in the business. I doubt that would work well with some other soaps.

Newer gen. synths are better than natural hair in the opinions of many.

I am going to try it later on today with another soap. I have an open mind about this.

Interesting. Thanks @Bogeyman . I think I'll give it a try too... just with something less loved. The perk ... if I use a lower quality soap, I'll know really quickly how useful it is.

I just won't try it with Proraso. No screw top seal, so it'd soon be mop time. :-(

I think it will work best with an at least semi-hard soap and of course not with a loose puck rolling around like a BB in a boxcar.

HEY, I resemble that

 

[Lbkindy]

I’m going to try this tomorrow.

You can be open minded, and still have doubts....


I tried it today with Southern Witchcrafts, which is a top performing croap. Worked remarkably well. I know I used less soap than if I had loaded off the puck, but my lather was also much thinner. So, it’s surely a winner from a soap conservation standpoint. But..... I’m trying to use up soaps, so....

Still have doubts with some other soaps, but I’ll try one of them tomorrow and see.

Well, I used this technique with a Viking soap and it was an unmitigated disaster!! Way too much water and even though there was no sound emitting after a thorough shaking the result was soup!! I used it as a proto-lather and then dumped & loaded normally for a superb shave with what is easily the most underrated soap on the market.

Looks like it works with some soaps and others not. YMMV. Tip on your way out the door, please.

Forget this noise. I don't want no sloppy wet soaps that will end up moldy down the road.

 

[Aaron]

Hmm, I'm gonna try this tonight.

 

[woodpusher]

Sounds like the soupy lazyman's version of the Marco method. I ain't trying it.

 

[fhalden]

I'm going to give it a try, fully expecting a disaster, and with no intention of doing it more than once.

It was way less messy than the Marco method.

 

[August West]

Using the blooming water on a puck?

 

[BarberDave]

Meh, interesting looks like a hybrid Marco method, not to mention he does nothing to exfoliate the face with the 1st lathering on the face. You need to Feel the brush. but it his shave. Pre-shave not needed Good for him.. not for me
