    Welcome to SRP and congrats on your first shave. Smart move - just take it slow until you feel comfortable with what you are doing before you move on to the next section.

    I will second this. I have probably made about 25 lathers that I didnt shave with and it helps...especially if you have more than one brush or one soap cuz each reacts differently. Try starting out with a soaked brush squeezed dry...then keep swirling and adding water until you think it good and then keep going and adding until you find out how the lather is when it gets bad...this helped me a ton to know the difference between to dry good and too wet lather.
