A lot of new people seem to think that by buying a more expensive brush and or soap their problems lathering will go away. If you can't get a good lather from Arko and a $10.00 boar brush throwing money at it may not help any. Same holds true for the other hardware associated with shaving. So long as a razor is have ready be it a used $50.00 one or a NOS vintage or Custom big buck one the quality of shave is up to the operator for the most part. The idea of buying a better shave does not always work.
