    2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


Yep, Marilyn Mittwoch! (Always alliterative.)

Kind of a poor lather today. I was in a rush this morning and really didn't let the lather develop in the bowl, and I over-hydrated it. It didn't matter, though. Omnibus works as well in a kind of slurry lather format as it does in full-luxury format; though I much prefer the latter.
