I think the Palmolive and TOBS creams, and the Tabac soap, have spoiled me in terms of lathering up. Certainly the TOBS is a dream to lather up, seeing as how I'm in a hard water area... and that the powers-that-be seem to enjoy mixing water qualities. I'm beginning to see what people mean, when they say they have trouble with MWF lathering up. I guess the genie of shaving sometimes kicks the goblins arse out of my bathroom, which could account for having some days with MWF behaving like a dream. Hmm.

More TOBS is needed, methinks, as well as some more Feather blades.
