I think thats it. Today after I took a shower, I spent about 45min in the bathroom because I was taking my time going through the process. Also wasted some time because I used the Nancy Boy shave cream and it didn't look like the amount of lather I see in the pictures here so I didn't even shave with it. I washed it off my face and put on some proraso green tube shave cream and it made a bit more lather. I really messed up with the water:cream ratio with both creams so I still don't know how to get whip cream like lather.
Here was my setup for today.

When I opened the Nancy Boy cream it was moving a bit when I tilted the tub. Is it supposed to be like that or is it melted?
Overall I had a pretty good shave. I don't know the definition of "close" since this is my first shave but my face definitely feels much smoother. I just need to work on my chin. My cheeks, under the jaw line, and below my lip went pretty good. I also need to work on the angle of the razor. Any tips for that? I don't understand how to measure this 30 degrees that people say its optimal.
