Review (5/5): Wet shavers swear by it for a reason.
This is probably one of the best shaving soaps you'll ever find. It is not as difficult to lather as some say it is but you do have to work a bit longer if your water is on the harder side as is mine. But that doesn't stop me from making a really nice lather with this. I prefer to use a boar brush with soaps but badger works well too. When prepared properly it produces a very slick lather that protects the skin very well. I think one of the best qualities of this soap, however, is the feel of your skin after your shave. The lanolin in this soap gives a great post shave feel to your skin that I have not experienced with any other soap. As far as the scent goes, it is just kind of a classic soapy smell that is rather mild and doesn't seem to linger very long but it is very pleasant. I still think the Taylor of Old Bond Street sandalwood is a winner for one of the best scents but I still think MWF is a better performer. Many wet shavers swear by this soap for a reason. It is just one of the finest soaps you'll find anywhere.
