After considerable research into the subject, I tried shaving with soap for the first time last night (Col. Conk Amber). I got a wonderful, almost free of irritation, shave.

However, there were some issues as I could not keep a wet lather on my face for love or money. I spent half my time reapplying the lather, I could literally watch the soap dry to scum on my face.

What frustrates me is that I am sure that the brush was loaded correctly (I had oodles of lather), could it be a bad puck of soap?

What am I doing wrong?
