If I remember correctly, it has been a while since I used my Williams. It needs loads of water to really make a nice lather. I think I used to leave mine soaked for s while before even attempting to make lather. But once you master it, it is a really nice soap.
I used to "bloom" my soaps, but now eschew the process. I never have an issue getting a terrific lather from my tallow Williams soap.
