  • Brush: Grey Chubby - Zenith B37
  • Razor: Micromatic Open Comb
  • Blade: GEM - PTFE Coated Stainless Steel (28)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Z - Soap

  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Z - Aftershave

Color me surprised; I didn't quite break through to the bottom.. But the mammoth's head is now more clearly visible through the soap, and poor Nigel Thadeus Dade has nearly completely perished.

I saw someone mention the other day (not here) that they had trouble producing a lather except when face-lathering. Preposterous! Then I remembered that challenge from last year's Lather Games (not this past one, but last year): Lather-on-a-Plate Day. There was a video demonstrating exactly that, and it took... a while (and yet not nearly as long as the amount of time some of you claim to spend face-lathering).

I'm coming to suspect that those of who who claim to favor face-lathering do so simply because you haven't used the right tool for the job. If you use some smooth bowl, it won't be much better than a simple flat plate. Perhaps such people are simply ignorant of the wonders of textured bowls. My suribachi is quite literally made of magic.

In light of the objectively superior lather that comes from a suribachi, there's only one reason left that anyone might possibly be inclined to suggest that a rubbing your face for so long is preferable: a dedication to onanism.
