Hello Everyone,

I have been shaving with a straight since January to some very satisfying results. I have been using tub creams until today. I got some TGQ shaving soap this weekend and decided to give it a spin. I put it in my "shaving bowl" (8oz Tupperware container) and filled it with hot water and my brush to soak during a shower. When I got around to soaping up I had a tough time with it. The bar kept sliding around and it took a long while to get a good foam. When it was all said and done it did produce a VERY good shave so I am not complaining. I am just curious what procedures people use? Do you soak it? Do you rinse out the mug after you are all done? Does your soap dance around? Do you find that you need more water for soap than you do for cream? Thank you very much.
