Yesterday's shave

Proraso white preshave
M-Keramiek scuttle
FS G4 shaving brush
Le grelot Hospital 30
Mitchell's wool fat
VDH alum
Humphrey's cucumber mellon witch hazel
Old spice wolfthorn, Isana ultrasensitive balsem

I honed the razor. I had high hopes, but the edge wasn't there. A grelot can do much better. So back to the hones.

Today's shave
Prep preshave
M-Keramiek scuttle
J&T rubberset copy shaving brush
Razorock hawk v2 + kai captain titan mild
Mitchell's wool fat
VDH alum
Humphrey's cucumber mellon witch hazel
pitralon classic, Isana ultrasensitive balsem

I get good lathers with the MWF. Nothing like the horror stories I have read on forums. I looked it up my water company says that I get soft water ( 5,3 ºdH) what ever that means I'm no expert.
 
On another forums long time MWF users have problems with it. They think that most likely the hand soap got mixed with the shaving soap batch. It is only soaps that were acquired since March and April...
