Firefighter- Fred's set up seems like a pretty good set up to save some dough. I would recommend it.
+1 the odds are you need more water.

"khaos" said it well play around with it.

I learned a lot by taking an afternoon and working
my way half way through an inexpensive puck of
Williams one lather at a time.... too much too little
lather clockwise, counterclockwise, pumping,
no pumping. Not shaving just latherin...

That buck fifty was well spent.
