Have you tried the 'tonsorial' soap made by CBL? Just curious.Update, Tonsorial bested both vintage Williams and new Williams. I have really grown to love Tonsorial, I still have 7 pucks and I pray they will last me a few more years(with my soap supply, my grand children should have soap lol).

I have, it lathers really close, but not exactly. I love the slickness of CBL, for sure. It may be a bias because it’s not vintage lol.Have you tried the 'tonsorial' soap made by CBL? Just curious.
I use the new on a regular basis. The method I use is to fill the mug with hot water and put my boar brush in to soak while I shower. Dump water out of the mug. Let water drain from brush, but don’t shake. Slowly swirl brush on soap in mug without pressing hard. After about a minute I build the lather on my face. The result is wet and creamy, but not bubbly. Whipping the soap too hard makes it bubbly and disappear. If I use a synthetic brush it does not need to be as sopping wet. If you use it everyday you do not have to soak the puck. I keep a lid on my mug to prevent drying out. This seems to help.
I've only lathered it a few times, so I'm no expert, but my lathers went from what you're talking about to really good as I adjusted the technique.I have to ask you guys that like williams, especially the new....
Is it normal to not get as close to a good "looking" lather with it?
I've tried over the years but can't get more than a disappaiting lather with larger than normal bubbles. It's slick but dries before I get to my neck.
What @RhoCurly said perfect explanation. I tried his method on Monday, better lather from new Williams than I’ve ever had!I have to ask you guys that like williams, especially the new....

Vintage GFT hard-milled (tallow and PP) soaps were great; the current ones are not.Am I to assume that other very hard soaps like GFT are the same way? I can't get them to lather either.
I have no issue with conks, parker, or any of the other "hard" soaps I have.
I'll repeat this from another thread I started. Here are step-by-step instructions to making Williams into a really good soap that lathers easily and doesn't require any special incantations or processes (once you have done the following, that is):I have to ask you guys that like williams, especially the new....
