First, I must thank my friend Jeff for supplying the sample of MWF. Second, I must ask why did I wait so long to try it? I'm normally not a huge soap fan. I prefer creams/übers. That said, the MWF lathered so easily and left my skin feeling incredible! Between the MWF and the Akatombow, I was left CBS++. After the shave I had so much lather left over so I tried something I'd seen a few people suggest, I relathered my face and used it as an aftershave treatment while I cleaned up. My skin was super soft by the time I was done. What a tremendous way to wrap up a week!

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, 24 mm extra stuffed silvertip
Razor: Roberts
Soap: Provence Santé
AS: Floris, Santal
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean :D
I found this lovely old shaving box recently, oldest one I've found in Sweden and it matched my Roberts razor well :D

This one wasn't great. I did a lot of touching up, right back down to the 4k, but I am having a heck of a time getting this razor to shave well. It still pulls. I think I am going to lay this blade aside for a while and clear my head, then start back again. Life has been hectic for the past couple of days, so no Noob Chronicle until later today. I've got a double-post to make!
