Ok, I tried again this morning and can report that I needed more water. I loaded my brush while still fairly wet and started working the lather in my bowl. I added water by wetting the tips of my brush 3 or 4 times as I was building lather. My first pass was much better.
Then, out of curiosity I decided to add more water before my second pass. I wanted to know how much was too much. I added water until the lather broke down. I was actually surprised at how much it took. Once I added a bit more product and built it back up, I did my second pass. I ended with a good shave with little irritation.
IMO, it still does not have the slickness of MWF, but now I'm realizing that I'm comparing apples and oranges. The scent it leaves behind is great. I still believe the cushioning MdC provides is better than MWF. I think it'll be a good addition to my soaps and will help give me a change of pace once in a while. I don't think it'll do regular duty for me, but I usually keep 2 or 3 other soaps in my cabinet for when I want to mix it up a bit.
Thanks for the tips and thanks again to @Steinmetzify for hooking me up.
