Review (5/5): Great performance. A keeper.
Despite the fact that my water is very hard (~15 grains/gal), I find no difficulty at all getting a good lather from MWF, although to get a really explosive “Santa Claus” lather, I occasionally mix in a little TOBS shaving cream. I can only imagine the results for those of you lucky enough to have soft water. I think the “trick” is to start out with a wet brush and load for about 30 seconds. Add water once or twice as you work the lather into your face. This soap needs a lot of water. As far as scent goes, I find it very mild and not unpleasant, and it doesn’t linger after the shave. I own several shaving soaps, some of which have stonger, more pleasing scents, but none perform as well as MWF. It’s one of the few I will buy again.
