Frederick said:I definitely believe a lather can be over-whipped when using a bowl. I want to shave with a slick coat of lather on my beard which really lubricates the shave and protects my face.I don't see the point of generating a mountain of lather: most of it is just air not cream. And as beard hairs extend only a few mm, why do we need an inch thick lather, the so-called rabid dog look?

I concur. I know it is totally a personal choice, but, why make your lather in a bowl when you can make it on your face and help soften the beard and condition your skin at the same time.

That, I think, is the key to it, otherwise we'd all be using electric shavers. If there's no need to hurry, sometimes knocking up a bowlful of lather is a pleasant thing to do in itself and makes a change from face lathering. But I do agree that it tends to be wasteful.fozz77 said:However, the name of the game is enjoyment.

Hi SAsoapalchemist said:Unfortunately for someonce again Henk and I must disagree; some soaps will give a lot of lather but still not have the lubricating and 'slip' qualities of a soap that might have less lather - IMHO.
