When I started, I tended to use too much water, so all I got was wimpy runny lather. Now I squeeze out nearly all of the water from the brush, load it up on the (softened) soap puck, then add a drizzle of water into the base of the brush if the lather is too thick or dry.
Took me a while to figure out the right proportions.
Please report back on your progress!
