I do hope TGQ is OK in that sense and I'll give some more of my Ogallala samplers a shot.
I have found that TGQ is very easy for me to lather -the cream, at least... Haven't tried the soap yet- if you do it right... It's extremely hydrophobic at the start... That's the ONLY issue you should have... Start off with your brush shaken almost completely free of water (IE: If you rub it against your face, it should feel damp but not leave any moisture on your face) Load the brush, or your bowl, however you do it, and start swirling... Work it for 20-30 seconds until it turns to a glossy paste, and once that paste starts to dry-lather itself -and it will start to lather a little, you just have to make fairly aggressive lather motions to catch the air into it- just add about 10-15 drops of water... That stuff will just explode on you... It's marvelous, and the lather itself is quite top quality!
