Try the Palmolive stick first - stuff it into a bowl if you don't fancy using it as a stick.

Is it worth a go Fido because I am having some reservations about the Wilkinson Blue Bowl.

For the 50p it'll cost you in Asda/Tesco (or 75p in a pharmacy) - it's definitely worth a bash. Compared to the WS blue bowl it's like silk against hessian.

You can get Palmolive stick in ASDA?....I've not seen it in my local ASDA. But will check it out tomorrow. Off work so I can let stubble grow a bit and then try a shave with (hopefully) Palmolive and new blade. (Might try the Shark super).

I thought that until I got the Proraso shave cream. And as for the Mitchell's wool fat - it's a completely different ballgame!

I really don't know what you all are talking about. I comes in a wonder blue bowl container unlike the blue that Vergulde Hand comes in. That Blue hardly stays closed on it's own.
Great container!
Used the soap this morning with an open razor. Had no problems. Nice lather, nice shave.

Got some Palmolive sticks at ASDA (dunno if I got the smallest size or they were on offer cos they were only 49p each). Put a new Derby blade in razor (the Derby is the 'benchmark' blade that a gauge other blades on). Best shave yet. Nice and smooth. Now then.....will I get an even better or quicker lather using a brush other than the Wilkie brush?

Nobody is going to do that for an item that costs 50p though - the postage on the 50g stick will be about 90p on a single stick even if the seller is an account holder at RM

Exactly the set-up I use after a lot of experimentation. Hard water in York so the soap takes a bit of work but well worth it. It really hydrates my skin and the Proraso is a like a facial brain freeze - Fab!

The MWF lathers great here in Bradford - mind you, that's where it's made. I'm face lathering it now with my New Forest brush - no problems
