Thread: MWF Soap

So, I have been using an olive oil soap to was my face prior to shaving for quite some time with very nice results. I have also been using MWF Bar Soap in the shower for the last couple years and love it. It occurred to me that I should try the MWF for my face wash prior to lathering up for the shave because I like the soap so much. Needless to say, it did not disappoint. I have been using it as a pre-shave for about a week now and I think I'm going to stick with it for awhile. Very nice......

Has anyone else tried the MWF soap as a pre-shave?

Yes, I have. During a side-by-side test of Mitchell's Wool Fat and Scottish Fine Soap. Scottish Fine Soap (body bar and shaving soap) beat MWF by leaps and bounds.

At my age I continue to learn more about what I should already know. There's a meet coming up in april outside of Memphis tn so I can a chance to ask and maybe better understand about the pre-shave oils and soap. Who knew

Lynn,

I used Mitchell's Wool Fat as a shave soap for a while and then tired of it. Also, I did not particularly care for the texture of the lather. Loved the fragrance, though. Yes, it could have possibilities as a pre-shave face wash. Good experiment.

Robin,
I gave Scottish Fine Soaps a good try, using a variety of techniques and brushes, and finally tired of it, too. I found the texture rather lumpy. Loved the fragrance, I must say. Now, I have never tried it as a pre-shave face wash. It's worth consideration.

I use MWF in the shower, then MWF to shave. Great combination.

Yes, I have used MWF in the shower too. The lanolin is nicely moisturizing in the winter.

I use MWF bath and facial soap as a prep. Lately I found something even better. MWF makes a very concentrated shampoo, and if I wash my beard with the shampoo in the shower, I get the smoothest straight razor shave ever.

Never tried the bar soap but have been using the shave soap for years now, love it.

No, but I'm going to give this one a try.

I am going to try the MWF bar soap tonight for the first time hoping it will help out with my incredibly dry skin. I guess it's a bonus it makes for good shave prep.
