Thread: Help with making lather with a shave cream

I could use some guidance here. I've been using SRD soaps (love 'em), but today my birthday present to self (one of them) arrived, which was a new Omega Boar brush and a sampler of GFT products, which included about six or seven of their shave creams. I've yet to try a cream, and since they're samplers, I want to get the most out of each one.

What is sort of the text-book way to whip up a lather using a cream based shaving product as opposed to the hard soap type of product?
