I'm not sure why, but prior to the military moving me up to MO about a year ago, MWF was my go to soap that always worked amazing. After moving here, it stunk (not smell-wise). I don't know if it's a difference in water type or what, but every time I've tried it since moving here (probably around 30 times), I was left with a very raw face and not very close shave. Since that time, I've switched back to my next favorite, Cella... and it performs as great as it did before the move. I'm stumped on this. I've tried so many things to get the MWF to work for me again... it drives me nuts that I can't use it anymore!

I've tried hot water, cold water, medium(?) water, bowl lathering (with and without glycerin, and even uber'ing), face lathering...

Any ideas on what could be going on or what I could be doing wrong?
