That’s mean you’re still an Old Fart wet shaver, just like you’re fatherI have never face lathered, always on the puck, the way my old man did before me.

Bowls has been around long before Christ was bornIf god had meant for us to face lather, he wouldn't have invented bowls.
That's more or less where I'm at too. I didn't actually get good at lathering until I moved to face lathering. You can feel as you work the water in how slick you're getting it.I was a dedicated bowl latherer but now I feel that face lathering gives me the opportunity to feel the lather better when it is ready to start the shave. With bowl lathering I always tend to use more water and destroy the lather.
+1A little experiment I put myself through. 3 months using a bowl to create lather and 3 months face lathering (no bowl). I used a variety of soaps and creams. Well I thought I had solved shaving. I thought the bowl would be a waste of time.
I realised at least 1 in 3 shaves when face lathering, was with a mediocre lather. Now this isn't a bad lather, definitely usuable. However when using a bowl it is always perfect, one has more control using a bowl to create lather IMO.
Silly experiment in some ways but thought I would share
