Alright, so I think I may have made a major error here. When I watched Lynns video and he starts shaving, he says that he is using a cake soap and a mug. I purchased a Col. Conk mug and a 3 3/4 oz cake of almond soap together online. I assumed I should put the soap in the bottom of the mug, add water to my brush, and work the brush in the mug that has the soap on the bottom of it. So I have basically made my lather in the mug, the soap being on the bottom the entire time. Is this a mistake on my part?
I watched the youtube video where the soap mug is used only to load the brush with and then the lather is made in a bowl. On Lynns DVD, he makes the lather right in the mug and I assumed the soap was on the bottom of the mug. Bottom line, I want to make a warm lather in a mug and I am confused.
