Spend a good two or three minutes whipping up your lather, tamping your brush occasionally. Keep working on it. By now you should rich lather. And yes, keep the water warm and not hot. You'll get there. Keep trying.
Thanks again, Obie. I practiced some last night with this soap and used very little water and I did get a very creamy lather but did not actually use it so I don't know how well it will hold up. I will be using it tonight as I just received a Dovo Shavette in today's mail. Looking forward to the razor and nice rich shave lather.
