I can think of plenty of bad words to say about it.
Okay. A second person.
Is there life after OSP?

I would agree with the Phoenix and Beau and Wickhams suggestions. Nanny Silly Soaps also worth a shot.
I'll 3rd... MWF, way over hyped. Great name and marketing story etc.... pony soap!.
I highly rate Wickhams and recently enjoying Fine accoutrements Italian citrus... nice scent good lather. It's a tallow base and I was worried it might disappoint like MWF but it didn't, it lathers very well.
Glad to hear about Le Pere Lucien, I'm currently waiting for some of that. Will post results.

I can't lather MWF therfore it's bad!
More people love it than loath it, so maybe it's not that bad after all!

YMMV.........lathers real easy in a short time with little to no effort and far from mediocre but I understand, if you can't manage to lather with ease you will become disenchanted with it, human nature is all!

Have you tried blooming it? I've never had any issues and it feels great to me!
Yes I have as with all soaps I try. It's just my honest experience, that there are far better hard soaps out there, which is what the gentleman who started the thread is looking for. But it seems to have become yet another promotion for M yawn WF
Not disenchantment just glad I've tried it and moved onto better things. Such as Musgo Real, Edwin Jagger and the many Razorocks. All fairly ok but average soaps. All also better and easier to use than MWF , IMHO. I accept your disagreement.

This is what happens when opinion is presented as fact, to whit "I can't lather MWF therefore it's crap." No it isn't, you're not doing it properly.
No offence but I think you're missing who is saying what there Chris

I liked OSP and tried many samples. I loved their Orange/Patchouli. However, they are no more and there are gobs of other artisans vying for your money with mountains of shave soap nowadays. A mere perusal of the Soap sub forum here on TSR will more than offer one the opportunity to vacate their cash coffers.

None taken, I was referring more to your comment about people praising MWF. Although you did state that it was crap on page one, albeit without claiming that it doesn't lather.
