Which is interesting, I have a fresh jar of MdC shaving soap that I've tried a few times and I did not like its performance one bit. Didn't work for me, at all, shave wise.
However they do make outstanding soaps the right way, something I strongly encourage and admire.
Sort of the same story with Castle Forbes, I only tried the cream, many love it, but I didn't find it anything spectacular.
I CBA to look up the ingredients, but that's probably going to be reason why I like and dislike soaps. MWF does it for me.
Again, it's all subjective and you won't know until you try. To each their own, luckily!
