Indeed. The only true way to shaving enlightenment is with a Filarmonica honed on a combination of 15 hones (mix of synthetics and naturals), stropped with a progression of hanging strops and paddles, a mix of at least 3 soaps, creams, and glycerin - and don't forget a brush progression!
Joking aside, soap will do nicely. Not a video but a photo tutorial, but it should help:
Making basic soap lather - Straight Razor Place Wiki. Keep in mind that, like everything else in this hobby, it takes time, patience, and experience. That said, there is a reason why I at least keep recommending Castle Forbes to beginners - easy instant lather.
Good luck,
