Show her the refills at West Coast Shaving for $13.00. Amazon rarely has the best price on shaving soaps. Injector blades on the other hand...
Do I overload the brush?

And yet there are soooooooo many threads about the "fat" being hard to lather....

No doubt. I've never had a problem, even in the beginning.
To me that looks like a very very nice load.
When I started I had a goal to stretch as much foam out of the smallest dab of cream. Foam and more foam and no prep, cusion or slickness, I was aiming at the gillette can level and did not know what was beyond that.
But now I know that for every 10 seconds I load after the my baseline of 30 seconds my lather quality will scale exponentially. I normally shave 2 passes but like to have lather for 3 or 4 just incase I need another pass or have some spots left.
Thanks for the picture I think it really shows how your brush should look like loading shaving soaps.

overloading the brush, too much bacon. things that can't be done.
if it works for you, keep doing it. i always say MORE is BETTER, especially when it comes to lather and application.
