Get the merkur 33c or a starter kit that includes something similar from online sites. Spend about $60on the kit, make sure it had a nice brush too. Start with some soap or cream samples and practice making lather. Should have blades in the kit too. Go slow the first time and only in one direction. Boom. Done. Change out blades and soaps or creams to expand horizons while also try different strokes on the grain of the hair. You are now expert.

what does having a nice brush accomplish

The nicer the brush the better it lathers and lifts the hairs for the blade to pass over the hair. The lower the quality the more scratchy it may be and may not lift hairs in a thicker lather.

That sounds like horse hockey
