    Ken brings up a very important point, make sure that you have the peak of the cream and hydrate the lather a bit past that point, but only a couple of drops or so. I used the that method of lathering only on the section where I was going to shave next for awhile and I soon discovered that some of the irritation problems that I was having had to do with dry lather. Truefitt & Hill makes excellent creams, if your lather is right, it would take awhile before it dries on your skin, "regardless" of how slow you are. No doubt that multiple passes would increase the closeness of your shave, especially if you hit the whiskers from all directions. However, there is a compromise between closeness and comfort, I would suggest that you aim for the latter as closeness would come as your technique improves. Also remember that different passes require changes in angle. Perhaps the best advice I can give you is to be patient with your progress and to go as far as your confidence takes you, it will build with success rather than failure.
