Thread: Lathering MWF with ALOT of water

MWF is the only soap I've used so far. I have noticed that the hardness of the water makes a significant difference. I used to live in LA, CA and had a very hard time getting a rich lather for a decent shave and this was using Lanolin, a scuttle and pre-soaking the puck in hot water for a full two minutes. Now that I live in PA, getting a lather with the same method is MUCH easier and the type of lather is much more substantial. The water where I am I'm assuming is much softer and so aids the lathering process.

Your right, I'm in Glasgow so our water is really quite soft, but I still get much better results from really hot water than from cold water, When I was down in Great Yarmouth, England The water there was really hard and it was a bit harder to get lathering

I got a pretty decent face lather from MWF last night, along with my Omega boar brush. The key for me was starting out a bit dry, then adding water bit by bit until it lathered up nicely.

I grew up in the UK. Something about the water in London made shaving a nasty affair for me. Had some good times in Glasgow though, many years ago! So, you Celtic or Rangers...

hmmm... neither actually, they're not the teams they used to be, so any team that's playing against them, pretty much

Modern football is all about the $$, especially the TV kind. Unfortunately, not even the Old Firm clubs can compete with the European big boys for the top players anymore, which leads to a downward spiral.

That said, it might just make the Scottish Prem a bit more entertaining in terms of competition, if not quality...I get the odd SPL match over here on my Setanta feed and I have seen some enjoyable football (soccer for the North Americans/Aussies).

I used to get the odd ticket to go see a match. Nothing in North America rivals the sheer passion and (insane) intensity of a ManUtd vs Liverpool or Arsenal match...
