I shall try that with the MWF and some old soaps I recently purchased from the BST that have no scent left.Then do what I do and super-lather. I first load up on the puck of MWF using it as a base, then dip or swirl my brush in a tub of cream with the scent of my choice. The great thing about MWF scent is that it is pretty much unscented and can be superlathered as a soap base year round with any cream, any season of the year.
I put MWF in a TOBS tub on top of about 6 different scented soaps that were the dregs of old tubs and sticks. I have just broke through to TOBS sandalwood and Palmolive stick. MWF has benefited for it as others have said it has very little scent on its own.
Even easier if you just add a few drops of your favourite essential oils or as @TobyC saidThen do what I do and super-lather.

MWF soaked in Spanish Leather would be a tad expensive but by Matron’s Housemaid’s Knees, I bet it would be divine!Even easier if you just add a few drops of your favourite essential oils or as @TobyC said
soak the soap in aftershave & to me that seems like the way forward.
Although Toby was referring to Williams iv no doubt it would be class with mfw also
I was thinking more of a cheap type like skin Bracer and the like.MWF soaked in Spanish Leather would be a tad expensive but by Matron’s Housemaid’s Knees, I bet it would be divine!
You do need to try it, sir. It’s not a eureka moment, earth shattering scent but it is heavenly. It’s a bit like Imperial Leather with a touch of Old Spice yet refined and classy. A warming yet clean, soapy scent that’s fairly unique given it’s been around for over 100 years. A true favourite.I was thinking more of a cheap type like skin Bracer and the like.
Saying that you can pick up vintage old spice for a tenner ish.
Iv actually never tried Spanish Leather i really need to give it a go.
Is it Trumpers you would recommend?You do need to try it, sir. It’s not a eureka moment, earth shattering scent but it is heavenly.

Yes indeed, I’ve not tried the T&H one. Sod it mate, I’ll send you some. PM your address and I’ll pop some in the post.Is it Trumpers you would recommend?
Post here & tell us how you get on.I'm going to try and soak mine tomorrow pre shave. It'll be interesting to see how it does.
I tried that with Boots Freshwood and I can't say I'm totally satisfied. Nevermind, I was hoping for better results.... I guess I'll have to try something else.soak the soap in aftershave & to me that seems like the way forward.
