So today was the first time I used a shaving cream/soap product, I've been DE shaving shaving for about a week now, And I think I used way too much soap, I don't have a shaving bowl, and did the lather straight on my face, maybe I should go out and buy myself a cheap bowl, or a big coffee mug so I can see and feel the lather before applying to the face.. on top of that I used a Astra Superior blade which litterally ate up my face.. should of stuck with the Wilkinson Sword blades..

The reason why I think I used way too much soap is because when I went down to shave my beard on the first pass, underneath the "lather" was a gooey thin layer of soap.. If maybe I can get some advice from some of the expert shavers.. that would be great..

Thank you so much.
