Wow, thanks for the help so far everyone. I took the advice someone posted last night and managed to get a 3 piece cup/brush/soap set for like 8 bucks at Walmart. I used it out of curiosity today with my normal razor and had a few questions. Is there a certain technique i should be using to get the richest later? I put a bit of hot water on the soap, and some on the tip of the brush. The lather didnt seem to be that thick...is that considered normal?

And also, after im done shaving...should i rinse the whole cup and soap puck off...or should i just leave the foam in there? Thanks for the contiunued help and feedback
