Welcome! You are on it, congrats on a solid kit right away!
Hey Pinjim,
There are some good tutorials on how to lather i'm around your age and here's how I do it. I take any brush and soak it for 5 minutes or so, while i'm doing that i get hot water and add about a half a teaspoon to the soap container and let it sit on the soap. then pour the liquid from the soap container into the mug then take the brush after about 3 shakes and swirl onto the soap for 15-20 seconds and then add to mug making sure I fan the brush while I gather soap. start mixing the brush in the mug. add a few drops of water and go and watch tv while i mix the lather for 2-3 minutes and always get enough for WTG/ATG/XTG and still have enough to redo all of it.
Good luck and yes it's addictive and makes you enjoy life just a little bit more.

Thanks. I’ll give that method a shot. Appreciate the help!!
I think I a better bowl or mug. Right now I have a tiny metal bowl, smaller than a coffee mug. I ordered a scuttle well over a week ago, but USPS is in full meltdown mode in Louisville. Packagers literally are taking 3+ weeks to get delivered. I may see if I can find something around the house us use until the scuttle arrives…
Welcome to the forum !!
Glad you've joined, welcome!

Welcome.
I recommend you lose the Feathers; too sharp and unforgiving. I shave with Lord family blades exclusively and love them all. Another great choice that works on most faces are Personna Lab Blues, aka “Comfort Coated”, made in USA.

I’ve been using the Silver Blue blades a lot. So far, I like the feathers better. Soon, on to the next blade.

Just over two months into this. Good said, I think I’ve fulfilled my desire to buy stuff, for a while anyway. I’m learning what razors, blades, soaps, etc. I like best. So far my late 40s Super Speed, green PermaSharps with green Proraso for the win.
Shaving has become the best part of my morning. The scents the carry on for a few hours brighten the day. Great stuff!
