I would like to try your method Dr. Moss as I have recently discovered the Cella soft soap. But it seems I would have to dedicate my scuttle to it--or have multiple scuttles. The scuttle is the one thing that is a constant, and I usually shave with cream. I was wondering the same thing...what if yo...

Would somebody like to take a stab at comparing the new Pen's vs. AOS for me? Thanks in advance. Doug Doug, IMHO the AOS soaps can hold thier own (if not be better) than ANY of the upper crust soaps that you will find out there. The AOS has it all, creamy luxurious lather, protective cushioning, ea...

Thanks to everyone for their support and advice...much appreciated! 3 consecutive days of MWF with similar results :) No loss of properties (lubricity or cushion) as some nay-sayers predicted... Today I switched up and used my Tabac stick. Much easier and found it to be a closer shave. The moisturiz...

Re: MWF - Now I see...

Yeah, yeah, yeah... MWF is tricky and all that... 7-weeks into wet shaving? How did you nab a Rooney's finest???!!! Seriously, good to hear you're developing a method to address the idiosyncrasies of MWF! I still approach it with some trepidation and really have to go by feel rather than a formulai...

I'm' 7 weeks into wetshaving and after about 6 lackluster attempts at MWF, I finally see what all the fuss is about. I've gotten good to great shaves from a variety of products and blades, but somehow MWF had eluded me until today. I continued to try since the post shave moisturizing was great. The ...

WTB Soap Dish - Floris or MWF

Hello, I have a Floris refill but no dish. It would be nice to have the matching dish but since I also have a MWF ceramic dish (with soap) and it might be nice if they'd match. So if you have either and want to part let me know. Also, if you have a nice soap dish of any kind and want to part let me ...
