The Illustrated Guide to making Uberlather
Here is my best attempt at putting together an actual guide to making Uberlather:
Start the process with a sink full of hot water, soak your lather bowl, and brush, in the water.

The next step, is the only variable step in the process, you have to soak the soap in hot water also, how much water depends only on your brush, I am using a Shavemac 28mm Silvertip so I start with about 1/4 inch of hot water on the soap. It is better to start with less water than more, as it is easier to add a bit, than take it away (just dribble water at the base of the bristles with your fingers)Set this to the side..

Place a Snurdle of shave cream in the warm bowl about almond size (no you don't need a Snurdle Dipper you can just use your finger)

Add 4-5 drops of Pure Glycerin to the shave cream and place the bowl back in the sink full of hot water...

This is the way my set up looks right before I am ready to build the lather
