You're assuming that we have the same shaving goals. It doesn't seem like we do. So there's nothing wrong with my approach. It makes me happy. And isn't that the point?
but if I'm guessing right, you're also assuming something that is incorrect. I'm not using a syringe so that I only add a certain amount of water. I am using a syringe because I love the way I can add a lot of water or just a few drops very easily . Since I usually use three to 5 teaspoons of water per shave , dribbling drops off my fingertips to get that amount would be painfully laborious. the syringe makes that much easier.
I only care about the amount of water used... at the end of the shave. I report that to the people who watch my videos, in case someone has found my video and is trying to learn how to lather a certain soap base, and is having a lot of trouble. Knowing how much I add might get them in the ballpark of a good lather themselves. Because saying "just add water until it looks right" sometimes isn't all that helpful to a person really struggling. I also generally show other things to look for like peaks, elasticity, I run it between my fingers and I describe the texture as well.
And I often tell people that they probably don't need to use a syringe themselves if they use the same soap base over and over because they will get used to the way it looks and be able to dial it in with no problem.

OK, I misunderstood your reason for the syringe. I dribble water off my fingertips, you use a syringe. No big deal. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
