MWF Help

[MarkDifferential]

Morning folks...

Struggling a bit with MWF, I know it's been done before but any tips? I get plenty of lather but it seems to be a bit bubbly/dry?

Tried face/bowl - face maybe slightly better.

Cheers,

Mike

If it's dry, put more water in it a few drops at a time.

I live in an area where the water's hard-as-nails and needed a few shaves' worth of practice. For me, dunking the puck in water before lathering helps but don't leave the puck in the water, just dunk it though YMMV.

I always dunk the soap in hot water for 30 seconds or so, I find it helps get a good lather and stops what would otherwise be cold soap then chilling the brush

There are in my opinion a lot of myths surrounding MWF.
There are a couple of videos on youtube busting said myths.
Unfortunately this forum won't allow me to post links, but if you go onto youtube and search for "The idiot's guide to lathering MWF" and "Lathering Mitchell's wool fat 2", they may help those of you who struggle. They are specifically for lathering with super hard water.
