I've watched several vids on lathering, but am having trouble myself. I used a pre-shave oil the first couple times I used the brush and think that might have messed things up. I'm pretty sure I have the same soap (Van Der Hagan), and was wondering if the problem was that it was so cheap, but then I found a thread here talking about the effect shave oils have on brushes. Now my brush is soaking in some dawn to break up the oils. Hopefully it will lather better.
Does anybody know if a cream lather looks different than a soap lather?
