Don't let one soap ruin it for you. I could never get MWF to work for me, despite being a favorite among many, so then I went to creams and croaps. Hard soaps are great for face lathering or scuttle, you just have to find one with a scent that agrees with you and also agrees with your water make-up (can make a huge difference). Go with a couple of the favorites first - probably wont regret arko, tabac, harris etc.
