works very well
After reading all the reviews, I thought I would have to spend some time building the foam and I was wrong.  Placed the soap in a KFC dish (where it fit well and was free to boot) and a about five twirls off the brush on the soap and rubbed the brush on the face.  Started working it on the face and in about a minute had an excellent foam.  Off to shaving and it left the face very clean and gave a very good shave.  I was surprised as this was my first time with a soap; have used creams or croaps before.
