Such a breath of fresh air! A new shaver doing it right! Sticking with one set of gear for a while. This will soooo improve your learning curve over having 3 razors, 6 lather products, and a blade sampler. Within a month you’ll be amazed at your progress, and then is the time to branch out. Wonderful! Keep it up!

This is partly tongue in cheek of course, everyone here is trying to be helpful. Sometimes we are just overwhelming, though. You keep on keepin on, sir, you are doing it right!
How's your lather technique coming along? Asking for a friend.If you have not seen it, check out these threads. They helped a very frustrated new latherer here recently.

Hmmmmmm. I wonder if your cream was old. It should not take "a lot of effort" to squeeze it out of the tube. At least I don't think it should. I always get the tubs.
Thanks for your reply.
Here is my razor:
