Thank's for all the reply's everyone!
Today I performed my very ''first ever'' shave with the William's shave soap and the Boar's brush.
At first I was a bit disappointed with the seeming lack of 'lather' as opposed to the 'instant lather' that I normally get from my usual can of Barbasol Beard Buster, but after another minute or so of extra 'whipping' up the lather in the bowl, I was ultimately pleased with the end results.
It felt 'kind of cool' to whip up a shave lather in a bowl with an actual shave brush.
It also felt kind of 'old school cool' to mop the lather onto my face with the shave brush.
This is my 'first step' towards my ultimate goal...The straight razor.
I am planning on getting my first straight razor set up for Christmas.
