I have heard from others who have claimed an allergic reaction to lanolin.

No as others have said you are not alone. I could get a good lather from MWF but never really considered the performance above average.

I think it's time to do a thirty day focus on MWF, rather than just having this puck decorate my bathroom counter. As you can see, I get a nice latter. I'm going to use it for a while and see if I can find a way to get better performance.
Day one

Best soap ever made. No contest.

If you use it daily it will stay hydrated and perform well.

I'm sure after 30 days you'll say "Not BAAAAAD!"

I'll disagree and say Tabac. No soaking,

no grating,

no special brushes Two:

no extra effort

Just look at Tabac and it will practically lather itself.

Tabac is great. Love it.

But not better then the fat.

True, but one does have to put up with the Tabac odor scent!

Nice!
(and I did notice and edit my grammatical error. It was bugging me )

Nice razor, nice brush, nice lather, can't see the bowl

+ 1..It Burned the Face Off Me..I Mean Sore & Sore..I have lanolin in other Soaps so I Don't Reckon that was the Culprit..It Lathered OK but I still Reckon its Way Over Rated..

Billy..

+1!!!

I love Tabac but MWF is second to none (IMO). Great slickness, amazing post shave feel and I can lather it with my eyes closed.

Agreed. Slickest soap ive ever used and no other soap matches the post shave feel.

Thank you!

Illuminati much? Fnord on!
The texture of the bowl seems to make much discordia and smooth lather.

Here's what I was talking about: PLANofMAN's MWF hydration method. It works.

Well, I don't have one of the ceramic dishes for mine, as I just have the refill puck; but I set it in a container and covered it in water several hours ago. I'll leave it till about 2pm tomorrow and see what we have. Thanks for the thread link.

Here is a thread I started in January with some similar questions about Mitchell's. Lots of good information here.

Ok, so I let my puck soak for about 8 hours and then removed it. I know I said I was going to wait 24 hours; but I decided I'd like to get one of the ceramic MWF dishes to put it in before I let it soak completely. I did notice that even after 8 hours, the puck had "grown" quite a bit. I decided to give it a try and did a simulated face lather on my hand. It took a little working up, but I got a rich, creamy lather that felt plenty slick to get a good save with! I really can't wait to try a shave with it again now.

Also, if anyone out there has a MWF dish they're willing to part with, PM me. I now realize I need one, lol. It's an OCD thing I think. =P
