Great aftershave with a superb ‘old timey’ wood n’ spice scent. Kinda like Grandad’s BO but in a good way. The scent dissipates very quickly so perhaps that was the main issue? Vintage Old Spice aftershave lasts on me almost like an EdP which the former Mrs Fraser wasn’t keen on. Must get more!What was the issue ?
Or what didn’t you like ?
It was actually the Freshwood i would have tried
If you use Tabac, it will smell like your Nan’s bingo wings and flowery handbag with fag burns!Hmm maybe I'm gonna try a few drops o Tabac on my Musgo and see if that does anything. Well, as long as it doesn't smell like grandpa's armpit.
Just soak the puck in water for 24-48nrs, it will take it on board , swell up and make it easier to lather it up, pour out the excess water once done and then just keep it on the damp side of things!Anyone got any advice on what to do with woolfat soap when it's cracked into about 4 pieces?
Well, despite having the woolfat over 72h submerged in Freshwood, I can still smell the woolfat in the soap.Great aftershave with a superb ‘old timey’ wood n’ spice scent.

It's got to be worth a try!In an attempt to fix the problem i removed the pucks from their boxes and binned them
Trying to air dry them a bit to see if that helps
I genuinely don’t think it’s your brush but out of curiosity what brush do you use.Am new to all this, but I also was not yet successful in lathering up my MWF properly - though I do not have any problem lathering up any of my other (basic) soaps (Tabac, Arko, Proraso). I regularly get a thinnish "lather" which does not want to thicken, and collapses by the time it comes to the next pass.
I still need to try different brushes and some other tricks I read about, e.g. distilled water (the water around here is very hard). I bought my MWF just a few weeks ago.

I've only got some cheap stuff: an Omega boar brush, and a synthetic Nom (this one is does feel very good, but still does work for the other soaps). So far I've tried just soaking a brush and then straight to the puck, and also tried blooming the soap in warm water for a few minutes and then wet brush. Pretty much the same result every time. The one time it seemed to improve somewhat is when I took the thin 'lather' to the face and continued face lathering for several minutes, but I still could not get it to the consistency I get from all the other soaps.I genuinely don’t think it’s your brush but out of curiosity what brush do you use.
Also what is your technique for lathering ?
Thank you for the tips! I'll keep trying... there is a lot of room for improvement in my technique for sureJust load up (well) and build the lather adding tiny amounts of water slowly.
