When you put the lather on it is better if you have a brush and can go against the grain of the wiskers to make them stand up and absorb the moisture. I make circles with mine pushing up against the grain. Mack
I usually avoid the Red Chinese owned WalMart like a bad disease>> but I might just go to one close to me just to get some of that shaving soap you mentioned. It sounds like it might be better than my Burma Shave. I found an old shaving brush in my medicine cabinet. It's handle in shamrock green in color and the hair looks like that of a white hog. It's similar to the bristles in a high quality China Bristle paint brush that you use for oil based paints and stains.

We also have a Target store here in the town I live in. I'll see if they have any different shaving soap. I know that the Burma Shave Soap Im using isn't nearly as good as some of the stuff you seasoned professionals use but it's still better than aerosol can shaving cream. I learned that really quick. It was the most comfortable shave I've had in many weeks.

I'm going to do some checking here locally. WE have at least 6 different drug store chains here in my county. And it seems like they all carry different shaving items. I"ll check some of them out too and keep you guys posted as to what I come up with.
