I got a puck of Scottish Fine Soaps shave soap as a gift for the Holidays. I'm having a little trouble with it though, I can get it to lather just OK and then it doesn't seem to last or dries out on my skin. I must be using it wrong. Anyone else tried this?

Thanks,
Alan
 
I got a puck in an amazon flash sale, I'm struggling to get a good lather out of it too.
I tried wetting it for 5 minutes before use and used a boar brush. This helped but I can't say I'm that impressed with it.
 
I don't have this soap, but if you have a Boar brush, try this method from YouTube

Marco Method

If you use a Badger, then squeeze a little water out first.

Marco method is good on hard soaps.....
 
I've compared a new puck of MWF to The Scottish Fine Soaps one and they're definitely not the same. Different shape and scent.
Sounds like I'll be using it as bath soap then.
