I prefer denser brushes for soap than I do for creams.
What you may be finding is that the Duke is denser thus requiring MORE product than the EJ. If you are just loading them about the same (same general number of swirls), the lather may be better APPEARING in the EJ because the water/soap/hair ratio is more in balance.I have been using dr Harris Arlington soap lately and I notice it lathers much better with my ej best badger brush than my Simpson duke 3.
Do soaps typically lather better with a looser brush...or does my technique just suck every other time I shave...lol

Try loading the Duke with a good bit more soap and see what kind of lather you come up with. I'll bet it can be great.
