Okay, I tried doing it last night using some boiling water in one cup, for the brush, and no water in the other cup, with the soap, and I was having an immensely hard time working up a proper lather, it just seemed to stay as suds despite a full half hour of trying and re-trying and re-trying and re-trying and re-trying...sometimes I just have bad nights, though, so I'll try again tonight and see what happens.
Sorry I wasn't clear. The instructions from the soap ladies was to nuke for 8-10 seconds, check it. Nuke again for 8-10 seconds check it again, etc and keep going until its melted. Just what I read.

I do well with a fairly dry brush (I shake it out pretty well). Then load on some moist soap until its pasty. Then I lather on my wet face. I'll flick the brush under the slowly running water to add moisture if needed. I've never had a problem making lather with soap. Maybe your water is the culprit.
