People who take a long time to work lather into a foam, and then simply paint it on their face with paintbrush strokes; help me understand that.
Here's what's inside my brain:
I don't enjoy the process of creating foam, this seems like work to me. If I wanted a big foam I'd just buy a can. What I enjoy is the experience of creating a thick lather on my face, it's like pampering, really. And the richer the soap, the cleaner the scent, and the more luxurious the giant splay of the huge boar, the more it's pampering, something that's meant for a King.
If I had to guess what's inside Murray's head, it would be this (written as Murray):
We both enjoy the ritual of shaving; it's something we do for ourselves. Since I have a full beard and only shave my neck, I don't mind the process of making lather, I actually have come to enjoy it a great deal, and for me, it's the main part of the ritual, since the rest is over rather quickly.
And to that I would say "OK, I can see that"
Then there are the people whose face can't take the rigors of face lathering; well, OK I suppose. All skin is sensitive, but some perhaps more than others; I have an olive complexion and thick skin; I don't burn in the sun and I don't have many problems in this arena. I still think that a majority of people who don't face lather because they say their skin can't take it probably can but just don't want to; yes, I am thick headed as well.
But what about you, the guy who's clean shaven and doesn't have sensitive skin, YOU, what's your story?
Why do you bowl lather?
