    I took the advice, and this is the best lather I have been able to make. Clearly this is better, but any thoughts?

    It looks OK. I like my lather wet, but creamier than what you have. The air bubbles in your lather indicates that you added too much water at a quick rate. Bottom line, if you can get a slick lather that doesn't dissipate and get a good shave, then your lather is fine. You are the one that determines if it is a good lather. It takes time to get that whipped cream texture.
