Lather Shots, let's see them

Post those lather shots

Let's try to keep it to NEW shots, and not ones we've seen before.

I'll get it stated with today's lather...Mystic Water Coconut and GFT Skin Food Limes used as an "ubber lather" product.

Teiste, I am assuming that all that lather is for you and for your 5 sons

I lather in a scuttle so hear goes:

Semogue SOC with MWF

   

Semogue SOC with Nivea

   

Semogue SOC with Palmolive

   

Semogue 1305 with Proraso

   

Semogue LE 2011 Bristle 2 with Speick

   

To the left is my lather shot. It's a tasteful little number of hand lathered VanDerWilliams; the VDH for that deep bodied flavor and the Williams for the citrus taste. Very smooth and creamy going down.

To the left is what remains for another shot on an Omega 10019 boar.

Cheers!

I don't generally take SOTD pictures, so I don't have many, but there are some posted in this thread. Here is an older shot of the same Plisson brush, this time with MdC.

This is what's left after three passes. When I got the full-sized jar, I had to re-calibrate how long to load the brush since I was used to using a small sample. That said, in my opinion, the only "wasteful" lather is bad lather made from good soap.

This is so much fun! I just started breaking in 4 boars - Omega 31064, Semogue 830, 1800, 1250. It seems from these four brushes, the 1250 is the best performer out of the box. Here's the second ever lather with it today:

Omega #48 with "Men's Estoril Sports Line" shaving cream

Vulfix Grosvenor bristle & badger with Monsavon

Vulfix Grosvenor bristle & badger with vintage Musgo Real Stick

Semogue 730 silvertip with GFT Coconut oil

Nice pictures,gents!

I call this one "Horney Lee".

I just whipped up a test lather of QCS with some Skin Food and used my M&F L7

It's a barrel handle. Very comfy in hand!

When I ordered MdC, it arrived within 5 business days, France to Texas. So your wait may not be as long as you anticipate.

What is the handle material?

Oh, duh - probably what you meant in the first place. It's a faux jade. Some sort of acrylic I suppose, like the faux horn handles you see around. I think Rooney is making some Heritage series brushes of this material right now.

A little L'Occitane Cade test lather I did this week.
