This is all great input. So, here's my game plan, any input would be appreciated.
First, I would like to be able to use really cool vintage double edge razors, so I don't want to give up on them yet.
Does anyone know of a video for generating lather that is really good? I want to make sure that is correct.
So for the next month:
I did get a good shave this morning with this setup. One weeper, a few trouble areas that aren't as close as I would like.

So for the next month:
- Good prep. I think I've been doing this correctly.
- Pre-shave oil, homemade, 4 parts olive oil and 1 part mineral oil
- Vintage Gillette three piece made in England. Aluminum handle, very light
- Feather blade
- Barrister & Mann Russo Soap
- Vie-Long horse hair shaving brush
