I realize I am late to the game, but an Edwin Jagger or a vintage Tech would be my choice, and I would use a sharp nut not "Feather or Kai sharp" blade like a Personna Lab Blue or a Gillette Silver Blue. I get fine lather with five seconds atop the puck and find the lathering process no longer than canned cream due to the use of the brush and a warm lather. Loads, and then some, of brush and soap recommendations are out there, but a can of Pre de Provence and a small Simpson synthetic will not break the bank and will do very well.
Once you have it down pat, consider a stainless steel razor, a badger brush, and a puck of Martin de Candre.
Even though I am late, it is my belief that this would be good advice for anyone moving beyond foam and cartridges.
