I have 'played' about with this soap recently and am getting some good lathers from it everytime. I can only echo what others have said here, and what I have done recently:
wet brush in warm water, lightly squeeze out water, it should be damp, not sopping wet.
Load the brush
Load the brush
Load the brush some more
Apply to damp face, add addtional water if you feel is necessary (dip ends in warm water).
I am using Neo custom 2 band finest for a brush.
I too feel your frustrations fido, but I am sticking with MWF for a while longer.
