Ok, so what’s your “thing”? Stick a cigarette into the strings while you play? Bandanna always tied to your belt? Tight pink leather pants?

That's awesome about your band's show! Also I am finding similar results with my synthetics. I never thought I would enjoy them this much.

Neither did I! I mentioned before that it had been years since I last did a lather in a bowl or scuttle. I was a die-hard face-lather guy. Not the case anymore! 🙃

Glad things went swimmingly!
As an audience member and total non-musical artist, I t’s funny what artists consider mistakes. I’m sure most of the time the crowd never has a clue. 😂

And again the combination of synthetic brush and bowl/scuttle lathering blew me away! This soap was a little more difficult it seemed to get a proper lather but in the end I was able to get it to a proper level of slickness and cushion. I think I'm going to stick with this technique for the rest of the month and see how things go and what improvements may happen.
 
Ok, when the soap passaround box comes back I'm going to have to shave with Nobel Otter. This is one of those odd ones that I've thought I should have since I learned about the, but then always find something I want more when I ready to order something.

Do it! Really good soaps and great scents. This one and "Thé Noir et Vanille" are my favorites.

The quality of lather I'm getting from the synthetic brushes when paired with a bowl / scuttle is fantastic!

I may have to break down and get that travel scuttle from Stirling. Been ordering so much coffee stuff that it will need to wait - my wife Sheri is starting to raise her eyebrows...

Damn....good thing you were in a truck (full frame). Hate to think if you were in a Prius or some other tree hugger mobile.
Cafe Standards kill.
