You have to bloom it for about an hour to get a semi half decent lather.
Here was my first efforts using GEO Eucris soap..Total fail.

Thanked: 4Sharptonn, thanks for the continual advice and guidance.
Bob, yeah it’s the puck, hard soaps I have in the DHR range. In fact I’ve used all the creams that I had, now I’m thinking I should go out and buy more to stock up.
So I tried blooming and this gave me much better results, still not quite the lather I was after but blooming the puck whist I carry out my pre shave prep significantly improves the use ability. Still a few more things to try out in pursuit of the perfect lather. I’ll give blooming a go for an extended time period a go next.Take your time and enjoy the shave

You might try snurdling out an almond-sized bit and put it in your bowl to soak in hot water a while.
Then, drain off the water, add a new dab of hot water and build your lather in the bowl.
Works for stubborn soaps.

One of the issues i see is when people use multiple soaps in rotation.
They dry out to much between uses.
I tend to get one and use it until it is done then get another.
Try a quick dump of the excess water but don't dry it and after a week the puck will be much easier to use with the continual tiny bit of water added.
