Since I first posted, I have been improving my lather method. Now I let a tablespoon or so of hot water sit on top of the soap while I shower, and let my brush soak in hot water. After shower, wring and shake out brush and then load it with soap. Whip it up with little bits of water at a time in a small bowl until i get a somewhat decent lather. Still has some large bubbles in it, but it's pretty smooth and foamy. Massage some lather into my face and away I go.

One last question: I noticed that there was some rust at the hinge of the razor. Is there anyway to prevent that (besides not getting the hinge wet ever)? I'm not really sure what I can do to fix that... any ideas?
