I'm looking for pointers on quickly whipping up a good lather with Taylors hard Sandlewood soap. It so for takes me maybe 5 minutes to get it right. I don't mind the time, but there 'must' be something that I am doing wrong to take so long.

I pre-soak the top of the cake with enough water to form a thin layer on top, for maybe 15 minutes. I then pour a small portion of that pre-soak water into my 5" bowl, load the brush for maybe 30 seconds and then get with the whipping. It seems really tough to load enough soap onto the brush (Silver Tip Badger) in one loading. I load, whip, load whip, sprinkle some water, load whip, etc. Any advice to speed this up would be greatly appreciated...
