I've been using more than 2 post shaves with relative frequency, so I decided to add another row to the spreadsheet which creates the formatting for me.

I bowl lathered today, using a heavyweight Captain's Choice copper bowl that was given to me as a gift a while back. I was a bowl latherer up until a year or two ago when I switched to face lathering. Bowl lathering is still kinda fun from time to time.

I've been primarily a face latherer, but in fall of 2021, I decided I would just bowl lather until I felt really comfortable with it. Now, I mostly bowl lather samples, but it is a nice change of pace and I'm very happy I put in the time to gain some confidence with it.
