This is one of the reasons why I want to learn to use a straight razor. It seems to be an art form and personal discipline that hast been pushed a side for easier ways. Don't get me wrong. My M3 Turbo is fine and dandy, but I want more out of a shave. Since i have some soap and a brush already, I have been practicing getting the lather just right. I have noticed that my M3 is more comfortabel even with Van Der Hagen soap. The challenge will be the razor (once aquired). It seems to have become a personal goal, to be able to shave as my grandfather, and great granfather, and learn an often forgotten skill.

Once again, thank you for all your input. It helped me greatly.
