    Default Lanolin soaps

    After shaving with many different soaps and creams, I noticed I have very dry skin afterwards.

    Since trying some MWF my skin felt totally different post shave, it was very well moisturized and the shave was super as well.

    I compared with my other shave soaps, creams, croaps and noticed the difference was Lanolin.
    At least I think it must've been.

    I usually use baume.be cream, Cella and MDC; and they don't provide me with enough moisturizing effect to forego a post shave moisturizer as my face feels dry with all of these.

    I recently tried MWF my skin felt great and in no need of anything post shave.

    I ordered a few more pucks of MWF, tallow and lanolin a great combo, and some Haslinger sheep milk shave soap with Lanolin as well. (I heard Haslinger was re-formulated some wihle ago, but ordered one anyway as it still has Lanolin in it)


    Anyone else love Lanolin shave soaps? If so, what are some of your favorites?

    I am not bothered by dry feeling skin after shaving having naturally oily skin. That said, I do notice how nice my face feels after using a soap containing lanolin. I will always have some MWF around especially after I learned how to lather with it. I also found the old non veggie formula Haslingers sheep milk soap to rival MWF in that department and it was a lot easier to lather too.

    You can add lanolin to your cella soap if you want.
    I added a small amount (like a bean) to approximately 100grams of cella, then microwaved it a few seconds and mixed it with a spoon to incorporate lanolin.
    It shaves very well.

    Still one of my favorite Uberlather mixtures is what I call the "Lanolin Overload"

    MWF
    Musgo Real
    5 Drops of Glycerin

    The face feel after that is amazing

    I like some of the tube creams that have lanolin: Veleiro, Lavanda, Vitos eucalyptus...
