C&E Lime Soap

I've been using AOS and Proraso soap for a while now without any lather problems, I received some C&E Lime soap for Christmas and cannot seem to get a lather that will last even a single pass on one cheek. I am just curious if this is a standard problem with their soap or of it's just me? The AOS and Proraso will last the whole shave.

I really like the scent but have stopped using it because of the quick dissipation of the lather.

Yup. My experience too. The stuff is junk.

The wooden bowl is nice, though.

Thanks at least I know I am not crazy. I completely agree on the bowl. Probably the reason the soap with the bowl was about the same cost as a refill of AOS soap.
