I did happen to know that, but I thought I'd throw the lanolin bit out there for those who might have a sensitivity. Great stuff nonetheless

I couldn't get along well with the lanolin (I presume) in MWF. But I've got along fine with Creed's shaving soaps (Vetiver scent), which has lanolin, albeit in smaller quantities. Works a treat.

For really sensitive skin, I would say go with a vegetable soap like Trumper's Rose or Violets. Very mild and gentle, giving a close shave.
