It was not enough soap.
I've used the same sample soap for the next shave and the lather was just fine. I've just used more soap.

I'd say go overboard with the soap - it's one of the cheaper aspects of shaving, especially as it lasts a fair old while. Try a bit more than that next time and see where you go. I'd say as well, add water gradually. I've had foamy, dissipating lather from not enough water. It can be a tricky game trying to get it right. There's also little harm trying out a soap without shaving, just seeing how much water it can actually take and transferring that to your shaves down the line. The heavily-tallowed UK soaps such as OSP and P&B take on a lot of water. Like, loads. If I'm face lathering I tend to gather some damp, soapy paste on the brush while loading, transfer that to my face and add water gradually until I hit the sweet spot. Usually I end up with too much lather but, like I said, it's cheap enough and I'm not going to lose sleep over it!I got subpar foamy lather this morning. I think I've used not enough soap. That's a sample of OSP Barbershop. What do you think?

Oh man, that looks like plenty. My guess is it all didn't get used up making the lather. Either that or.....how did you load your brush up with that piece?
