My first try making lather with MWF was a total success. I used my trusty horsehair #6, it soaked a couple minutes in hot H20, 1 shake to remove a little excess h2o. The MWF exploded into lather quickly and easily. Also IMHO horsehair brushes are the best face latherer's available.

I've used both boar and badger hair brushes with equal success.

I'm loving my Wee Scot with the MWF.

I used MWF for some time with a wide variety of brushes. Not one of them produced lather as good as I get from several other soaps. In the end, I put it down to the type of water where I live. For those who can get it to work for them, great. It has a great scent and leaves the skin feeling excellent even if the lather wasn't isn't wholly satisfying. "Best" brush? A two band.

Gentlemen:
As a rule, I use coarser brushes with soap and softer ones with cream. The same applies to Mitchell's Wool Fat. On the way to the shower I soak the brush and the ceramic bowl of Mitchell's Wool Fat in warm water and afterward, depending on my mood, I either lather directly onto my Hollywood face or in my scuttle. Sometimes, again depending on my mood, I add a dollop of Arko unscented cream and five drops of glycerin to the scuttle — and it's happy times.
Regards,
Obie

I agree with my good friend Obie. I find that my best brushes for soaps are my coarser brushes (ie. boar hair) such as Semogue and Vie-Long. They make great lather with soap ssuch as Erasmic, Proraso, Tabac, Mitchell's Wool fat, Pre de Provence, L'Occitane, etc.
