I really appreciated seeing this. I had never used a brush in my life until recently. I have been using far too much water and ending up with a fluffy foam. Despite this I was quite pleased with the shave. But as I have got more experience, things have improved. After seeing this I realise I have still been using too much water and need to spend longer creating a more creamy lather.
It's only through the internet that I have picked up information. High Street stores are little help. I have been asking around for soap/cream advice. The cosmetic counters at places like John Lewis carry some men's shaving products but no one has a clue about their use. I was given a sample to try with my brush which was completely hopeless and must only have been for application by hand.
I did think of popping in to a barber for a chat but found all of them too busy. So I will stay around here for a while until I master this traditional shaving art!
