The opening scene of that movie is one of the best written dialogues ever.

My favorite from that movie, "Alright ramblers... let's get ramblin'."

I was reminded of another movie altogether:

"Are you . . .lathering . . .me? I don't see anybody else in the room who needs a shave."

Right now, De Vergulde Hand soap is tied with Erasmic as a number 1 favorite of mine--both are world champions! :D

I have a brush like that (is stained a bit darker now). Nice lather

Nice tutorial but the lather looks a tad thin to me - you can see the skin underneath. For me lather has to be as dense as whipped cream and I mustn't be seing the skin through the layer of lather.
But, of course, YMMV :)
