    Default Lather goes on strong but then wimps out

    I have been using a DE for about 6 weeks and a shavette for about 3 and I think I got the lather building down fairly quickly and have been experimenting with different soaps and creams. The problem with that is that you don't get to know any one of them real well and that may be my problem but I have been experimenting with Mama Bear's Canadian Spruce Needle soap and it lathers so well I can stand my brush up in the bowl but it doesn't hold up well. When I lather for the second pass there are more visible bubbles in the lather and it doesn't cover my face as well. By the third pass it is about useless! I also use Omega, Proraso, and Taylor of Old Bond Street and don't have much problem with these. Is the Mama Bear soap more difficult to deal with or is there something different you must do to get a better lathe with it? Anyone have experience with the Mama Bear soaps that can set me straight?

    Jim
