Nope, THAT is not THIS
Marco is a very common name here, after Luca (second place) and Andrea (first, rarely used for females too).The (other) Marco's method is called the English method here, maybe because it works well with English soaps, which are traditionally hard. The concept behind it is to unify two phases in one: the brush loading and the lathering phase, meaning that the two phases are done together directly in the soap container, using enough water to allow for it. The lather it produces is very airy and blowed (cfr. the happy man on the Cella brick packing), good for straight shaving but not ideal for my tastes. I prefer to separate the whole soaping activity in three distinct phases: brush loading, lathering (bowl or face), and finally lather spreading (paint strokes).
