I don't seem to have gotten any of the issues with lathering this stuff that others seem to.
Here's my process:
1) Place the sample puck I got into an old RazoRock container.
2) Fill container with warm edging on hot water
3) Take a 15-20 minute shower
4) Go back to soap and dump bloom water (or rub on face)
5) Load using wet but not dripping boar brush (badger if I'm feeling lucky)
6) Lather on face (or in bowl if I'm feeling lucky), adding water as needed
It works for me every time. The lather I get as a result is rich and slick, more often than not needing more water added as I lather. Slickness and protection are great, and I've never gotten a bad shave from this. Not the absolute best I've ever used, but I have no real complaints.
Love the scent too, of course.
