I'm just getting started with the art of straight razor shaving. I'm still waiting for my razor to arrive however my brush and soap are here. I have decided that I will go ahead and try to master the pre-shave techniques. According to everything I have read and watched I'm making my lather the right way but it doesn't feel nearly as thick as the shaving cream in a can, however I'm getting a closer shave and my face feels better. When I brush the lather onto my face it is about a quarter inch thick and has a dense appearance. I just want to confirm whether this is right or wrong.

Thanks,
Adam
