OK, so I searched...a little... to find out why I'm having such a hard time building a good lather. I've got the Truefitt & Hill Sandlewood soap in the nice little wood bowl they send it in, and it looks great, smells good, and seems to do ok, BUT for the life of me, I can't seem to work up a good lather. I don't know if it's the water here, (which really wouldn't surprise me) or what, but the best I've gotten is a really weak mess. I've tried using more water, less water, swirling both directions, across, up and down, everything that I can think of or have seen, and dad gummit, nothing that looks anything like lather. I have still been able to shave with the thin little slick of soap that I can get out, but it's not what I imagined when I started. Anybody have ideas that I can try?
