I have yet to try another soap - currently using Taylor's cream but probably not working it enough.
You might get better results building the lather in a bowl. Any old bowl, - a cereal bowl will do.
Put a large almond size amount of cream in the bowl and set to with your "damp, not wet" brush. After 20 seconds or so, if you don't have a good lather and it seems a bit dry, add a few drops of water and set to again for another 20 or so seconds. Repeat until you have glossy, peaky lather.
Palmolive Shave stick is a very good, inexpensive soap that you might consider trying.
Simply rub it on to your wet stubble and build the lather on your face - same as above, "damp" brush to start and add more water by dipping the very tips of your brush in the basin
You don't need fancy smelling soaps/creams to make good lather
