For 6 full months, i never facelathered. Lately, i have tried facelathering about 4 times. And everytime, i find it much quicker and easier to make lather. Plus, you don't need the bowl, to clean it, etc.
The advantage i see in bowl lathering, is that you don't have to worry about running out of lather and that you can visually inspect the lather as you build it to make it as thick or thin as you like.
However, to my great surprise, even my 20x47 pure badger and my 24x55 boar, using creams, both managed to give lather for 4 passes. Although the 4th pass lather wasn't as stellar as the first. But it was fine.
I am impressed. I think i am switching to facelathering and the only reason i will be bowl lathering, is that i have a couple of brushes that i think aren't so suited to facelathering.
I am now even flirting with the idea of getting a Semogue 1470, since i noticed it's only 50mm high. I mean, Semogues have a wild bloom, but how wild of a bloom can a 50mm loft have...
Just to try the Semogue bristle and see how different it is compared to my Omega 80266/65 brushes.
