A good uberlather consists of 3 to 5 drops of glycerin, a cream in a tin or a tube (being in Dubai I would think you could get product from Australia easily) (Shave is a shaving cream in a tube and is an Australian product) and a brush load off of a puck of shaving soap. Proportions vary all the time. Besides the drops of glycerin add about an inch of shaving cream from a tube or about a glop the size of an almond if it is in a container. The puck will need to be loaded on a wet, but not dripping, brush. About 20 seconds of lightly twirling the brush around on the puck should be sufficient. Swirl it all together in your mug (or small bowl/big coffee cup) till you get a lather that looks and feels like whipped cream, adding a few drops of water here and there if needed. For some, doing trial runs helps them get there before they actually have to use the lather. Cheap learning curve. Yes, you need a shaving brush.

Give that a try and let us know how you are doing.
