Alright I'm starting to think you guys are pulling my leg lol

Soaked the puck in a mug for 5 minutes, cold water, not sure if this is a factor. Grabbed a Turkish horse hair brush since its got a bit more backbone but still a little soft to the feel. Drained the water and gave the brush a few shakes, worked up what looked like a decent lather in the mug.

When I went to face lather, it was thin and never really got thick and fluffy. Then it starting drying before I could bring the razor to my face. I added a few drops of water and repeated lathering. This went on for 15 minutes.

Now I should mention I have never had trouble getting any soap to whip up well (with the exception of TOBS traditional).

It's looking like it'll be a long week of trying lol

PS....Sharpton, I tried the glycerine about half way through, helped a bit but still not great.
