The force is weak in you lot ...
Did you sacrifice a vestal virgin?
I live in Fife, Scotland. Virgin's of any type are rarer than hens teeth around these parts. Most pubs are like Alton towers. Pay a fiver to get in and all your rides are free.I do not sacrifice vestal virgins because I have to, I sacrifice a vestal virgin because I want to.
There's a huge difference.

Maybe not enough soap and/or too much water?
MWF seems to have a "fools lather" if you add too much water in the beginning. It whips up fairly easily but it won't last. Not enough soap for the amount of water.
I started getting much better results by reducing the amount water at the start. A damp (not wet) brush (synthetic) then add a few drops of water at at time. Just enough to get soap off the puck. Although I'm being stingy with water at this stage I am trying to get a generous amount of soap onto the brush.
I face lather next, adding water in several stages, a little bit at a time. The video a few posts back is a great guide.
There has Been More Threads in Worldwide Shaving Forums about Issues with MWF Soap than Any Other Soap..
Lot of disappointment out there regarding this soap. In my case, I've owned 4 pucks and there is two more news in my den. Last one it behaved damn it bad, so may be there are quality issues. Unfortunately, 'The House' doesn't send any answer regarding what yout question is about. No more credit to it, as there are lots of choices out there and Fine Accoutrements has wonderful pucks. DR Harris and Cyril, are very good choices, too. Cella, yet morbid, get that feeling from tallow, too.I used this soap for the first time recently and couldn't manage a decent lather...well actually I could get plenty of lather but it was airy, bubbly and not very thick so disappeared off my face in about 15 seconds.
Too much water I thought so I've been like a man possessed trying to get the right combination over the past few days.
Best badger brush, boar brush, pure badger, bloom the puck, don't bloom the puck, squeeze excess water from the brush, let it drip out, keep brush wet, use a scuttle, use a bowl, don't use a bowl and try it from the puck to face lather....still, no luck.
So as an honest man I've came to the decision that MWF is a great soap that serves a great purpose. Its been sent to the shower where it belongs to live out the rest of its days

My puck came from Connaught, is it possible they had a duff batch? I purchased mine in May this year.I had a puck of Kent soap which I had heard was MWF with a different scent. It lathered well and easily and had many great shaves with it. Connaught doesn't sdeem to carry it any longer, so I ordered a puck of MWF.
Alas! My results are a duplicate of most of the disheartened.
Dial works fine in the shower; I shall endeavor to persevere.
