    I think I'll avoid either way!

    Talking Good Lather = good shave

    Lather, Lather, where art thou?

    No good lather = no good shave.

    I agree with Obie and Robin (BeBerlin) here.

    For me, I found that prepping the beard is 80% of the battle .

    Kratzer,

    Good for you. Congratulations.

    Since I'm such a newb myself, I lather for double the time I feel is appropriate just to make sure.

    My brush is getting better after a few uses. Found out the soap I have needs a little more water than I used the first time.

    I use the Conk soap and it works great for me. At first I messed up the lather a lot, but with patience and good balance between soap and water, now I lather right all the time. Personally I didn't like the lime scent, but the amber and bay rum instead are my favorites. One thing I do no-matter-what, is to add 4 glycerine drops to the soap just before attacking the cake with the wetted (not too much) brush.... Hope this helps and good luck.

    I got a mama bears soap an tried it out. I like the bigger container that it comes in. I'm getting the mix to water to soap down much better in my lathers I can really feel a difference. My improvement on stropping helps a lot too. I did a WTG and ATG shave. Almost BBS! Just have a few more patches to work out. Slowed down a little. Up to 25 min with prep. Gotta get a non-alcohol afterhave! Any recomendations?
