Hi guys ! Im new to the DE experience, I've knocked off the cartridges, used them for twenty + years. Now trying out DE and hope to master the technique. I'm looking for advice as to how to use a truefitt and hill shaving mug with the drainage holes, got it as a present, can you maintain an adequate lather ?

Without seeing a picture, I assume you are referring to a scuttle. Mantic59's chanel on youtube covers it a bit in this video, especially at 1:30 in. http://www.youtube.com/user/mantic59#p/search/0/iVPqFNObhEI I highly recommend watching some of his other videos, if not all. They have helped me a bunch.
