When you say that you'll add water but then it's like soapy water: that's not always bad. If it's soapy water w/ big bubbles, get your brush in an WORK that stuff, pumping & swirling. You may find that it starts to thicken into a whipped cream with tiny bubbles. It depends on the soap or cream, but lots of them will behave that way.
If you have time, practice on a non-shaving day. Takes the pressure off. :)
