Deck,
That's the funny thing. I've shaved with lather, with just putting a thin coat of cream on my face and mushing it around, shaving oil, you name it. I've tried it. Personally, I find the idea of lather overrated. Same thing with brush. Lathering resulted in a marginal improvement at best and actually a worse shave at times despite using a quality soap/cream/etc and proper technique with or without a quality brush. Me, I'll stick with a small amount of cream, slathered over my face. Occasionally I'll break out the brush when I have time to spare. It works for me. I get a wife approved baby bottom shave every time I break out the razor.
