Not having much luck with my chubby 2 bowl lathering with soap (mamma bear Ice). Any suggestions?

My first suggestion would be to face lather with it. That's not meant as a smart a** response, the brush just seems made to use that way. A Chubby needs a lot of product as it is so dense. Whatever method you use, keep loading longer than you think is necessary. If you do choose to try face lathering, you don't necessarily have to load the brush for three or four passes. There's no reason not to go back to the puck for more lather.
+1 on AFGs response.
I love mine for face lathering, it needs a good soak (thirsty) and a lot of product (hungry).
I also find that when you are thinking that its not got much lather, give it a gentle squeeze as there is tonnes of lather in there.
As with all new stuff, try and enjoy getting to know it

Yup, more product is right! I load my Chubby brushes for 45 seconds with croaps and at least a full minute with soaps.

You should try face lathering with a Chubby.

Do what Marco says. Bowl lathering with a chubby won't get you where you want to be.

Hi! I use my Chubby 2 with either soap or cream! No problems at all. A really good soak and about two "thumbnails" of cream! With soap: load the brush until you cant see down the hair looking into the brush.. I hope this will make sense! Good luck
This brush was made for face lathering soaps. Chubby 2 in Best is one of the finest brushes I've ever used for that purpose. Chubby 2 in Super is even better. After buying a Chubby 2 in Super, I pretty much lost all interest in acquiring additional brushes.
I also found that while great out of the box, the brush really takes about 20 shaves to open up and come into its own. It also helps if you completely soak the brush (in a mug) for about 5 minutes before shaving and then shake firmly about three times before putting it to the puck.

I think I could get 6 passes out of this brush.
2-band or 3-band Super? I think Simpson labels both as Super. Even Manchurian is labeled Super on the box, or at least mine was.
I only use creams and gave up on bowl lathering with my Chubby 2. It consumes too much cream, and it is so dense that it just does not allow the flow of water and air required for good lathering. I then turned to face lathering, and the Chubby 2 excels at it.
I used to have same problem with hard soaps and I increased the loading time 3 times and it works.
First I use my cliniqu facial soap with my chubby to scruband soften my face and by the time I load the actual shaving soap the brush is nice and soaft and well hydrated
