You're welcome Gunner. There's also a Jockey's video where he makes Uberlather, but I always have trouble finding it.
Creams do make a big difference. That being said, I wet shaved for years without the benefit of the wealth of info on SRP. I taught myself with brute force and ignorance using good soap (C&E) and a $12 synthetic brush from Sally's Beauty supply. I managed to get good lather - not as good as with glycerin & cream, but it was still good.
