only if you make it dry.
different soaps like different ammounts of water, so if you find your MWF lather on the dry side just add a bit more water untill you hit its sweet spot

Dry lather means add more water. I face lather with it, so it goes on the face like paste. I then dip the tip of the brush into a mug of hot water, work the lather and dip again as needed to work it up. It's a great soap and very easy to lather.
Mine's gone this way from time to time as well...just used it this morning tho and I dampened my face with water after loading the brush...worked just fine. Keep working at it and you'll eventually get it down!
That was my first impression as well. You just need to find Mitchell's sweet-spot. I find that by heavily rinsing my face between passes (but not so much as to rinse off the "slimy" of "slick" feel of the soap) I can avoid the dryness. Took me a few tries but I got it down, and so will you! 
Don't get discouraged. MWF takes some getting used to (for me, at least!). It lathers a bit differently than most of my other soaps.
The stuff makes a very rich and thick luxurious lather. You just need to use more water than normal.
Actually, MWF will take more water than any other soap I know. The lather may start wet/sloppy or loose/fluffy, but whip it up & it'll slicken & thicken!
