Razor Head Dragging

A teaspoon or so of bicarb in your sink will do similar wonders for much less effort and cash All about solubility products as no doubt some scientist will come along and tell you soon...

I'd look at all three aspects, Chopper - lather too thin and/or too dry and what I call sticky water - which is lather killing water - hardness perhaps, pre-shave oil residue. A few drops of bath bubble or wash your face with soap and rinse - soften the water. Lather and soap bubbles should stay on the surface, not disappear into scum around the edges.

Therein lies the beauty of using a good, softening glycerine soap to was your face before using hot flannels/pre-shave products - it softens the water in the basin and makes it slightly soapy, so, when you add it to the lather, it helps lubricate it.

What a great idea - I never knew that. I have hard water which may contribute to why my razor 'skips' sometimes. I'll give it a go.
