I think the MWF lather sucks (boar, badger, lots of loading, not a lot of loading, some water, lots of water, not enough water). I think the Tabac lather is explosive, cushioning, and slick.
Every time I read these threads I go back and try the MWF again and I remain unimpressed. I guess I'll be trying it again tomorrow. But then my crappy lather ****es me off and then I have to way 24-48 hours to shave again.
IMHO, MWF does not lather like as well as ALL other tallow soaps I've tried (DRH, P106, PC, Tabac, PdP, Haslinger). So you could have fooled me if you tell me it has tallow in it. Perhaps the lanolin counteracts it somehow.
I'll keep trying MWF. I've used it probably a dozen or more times with subpar results every time.
Woe is me.
