I have much better luck with my creams than I do my soaps... but then there is the uber too which is my favorite .

Something that works for me, is to melt my creams in my scuttle as I shower - then as soon as I get out whip up a bit of lather, place a bit on my face, strop my razor and then re-whip... seems to whip up a bit better. But then its cream.

How is it working out for you? Is that the only soap you have?
