I've got making it before my shower and using a "redneck scuttle" to warm the lather with down pat. Its the actual making of the lather that I am having issues with. I have read in the WIKI and watched videos from Lynn and others on this topic. What I made this morning was about the consistency of soup - clearly I used too much water. I didnt know this until I began to touch up shave with it (I usually do main shave the nite before). So Im using a soap to make lather from - should I simply warm up the brush and get some of the soap on the brush and begin making lather or should I get "an almond size amount of soap" somehow and begin working that up to a lather. I suppose I would need to simply use a spoon or something if I am to scoop the amount out of the soap unit. I know these are newbie questions - that is why I am posting this in the Newbies Corner -

you folks on here really are great - a great attitude about all of this - and very very very helpfull - thanks to you all - I appreciate your assistance in this one.
