I completely agree. You can't always tell how well lather will shave based on just a pic, but the fluffy stuff that can hold its peaks while a camera is being set up has proven to be less than stellar in the performance department for me. Oversaturn's lather has all the visual markers of a superior lather. Xillion's lather also looks top-notch... less airy, more dense and yogurty. I still consider myself an emerging learner, though, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
Let's see your lather!

New brush and new razorock xxx. That'll do!
Tabula Rasa
I can smell the menthol!
There is a brush in there somewhere
some good looking lather fellas!
Not soap, but lather none the less. Old proraso green whipped in a becker scuttle using a brand new SOC brush. No break in necessary, from what I can tell!
MWF, Simpson's M7 Manchurian, face lather.

Thank you for your words, gentlemen!
It is a proof that we don't need expensive stuff to produce a great lather - an inexpensive brush and cream can be all that we need.
Off course that we want other kind of stuff - but that's another story... and there's nothing wrong with it!
