Ok, I did well getting lather with MWF with my badger brush. I grated the puck and packed it into my bowl. I gave up on my new boar brush (see Boar Brush thread for details)...I just couldn't get it loaded with the MWF. I'll use it with cream.
But that said, I didn't get the glide that I get with Wm Neumann cream...the lather was plenty wet, but seemed sticky on my face.
