My experience is no. I tried a few times, since the smell is nice and I got it for free in a soap lot I bought on the BST, but no positive results. It has been delegated to my leg shaving supply cabinet. I have heard that it makes a decent super lather base though.
Never tried with Creamo, but someone sent me a tub of Pacific brushless cream, and he told me he used it with a brush. I had to use about twice as much as a normal cream, but it lathered beautifully. You might try using more product and see if you can get it to work.
