Since you did get good lather with your old soap it's sounding more and more like the soap you've got now is bad.
edit: I also totally missed the "all natural" part of the original post. Do you have the ingredient list for the soap? All natural means very different things to different people, and if this soap is some kind of extreme version of it, it's very possible that it's just not suitable for shaving despite what it's sold as.
