I am sure I missing more than a couple... By some standards I have a lot, but my inventory is dwarfed by many. Some tend to dry down a little quicker, and are more suited to DE shaves, which I still enjoy from time to time...

Sorry for hijacking.. back to the regularly scheduled programming...

I'm fairly new to MWF. I have a lot of experience with Tabac soap, Classic Shaving, Trumpers and Proraso cream. So far I'm getting better lather with MWF than I've ever got with any of the formers on a consistent basis. It is true that if you use too much water then it will fail but that's an easy fix that can be done at the same shave.

I like to shake my soaked brush (I use very soft brushes) very well and soak the MWF while in the shower. I think grating is unnecessary in order to get good lather but helpful when you want your soap bowl to be filled edge to edge. Then I load the brush for about 30 seconds then build lather in a lathering bowl adding little amounts of hot water to the brush as needed (sometimes I don't need to add any extra water). What's cool about this soap is that if you are using too much water you will know it right away. Just shake your brush and reload some more and then rebuild a proper lather. I get enough thick lather with MWF in usually half the time of any other soap or cream I've tried.

Where MWF really stands out though is after the shave in how smooth and settled down it makes you skin feel. Besides the cushioning it really reduces the chance of after shave irritation and dryness. It begins to cover aftershave balm territory in what it does for you. This, in my opinion, is what all the fuss is about on this soap.

Jeez im way behind I usually just buy a new one when old stock running low lol.. right now i just have a lil bit of mwf left a jar of mdc and one puck of mamma bear sandlewood vanilla lol.. if u wanna try a variety of creams check out maggards razor website samplers
