Ach. Brito has created the excellent and (in my neck of the woods) reasonably priced Mogno shaving soap, but users have been puzzled by the rectangular Mogno shaving soap bar that does not adapt well to shaving soap dishes designed for round shaving pucks.

I have solved that problem by putting the Mogno shaving soap in an old-fashioned barber’s bowl with thumb hole and charging the brush before face-lathering. That works well, but some part of the shaving soap bar still extends beyond the rim of the mug and will eventually break off as the soap gets thinner with use.

I don’t use shaving sticks too often, but yesterday - when I used a La Toja shaving stick - I had the idea of applying Mogno shaving soap just like a shaving stick.
That is: wash my face and rub the Mogno shaving soap bar directly across the shaving area.
I do not know why I haven’t tried this with the Mogno bar before, but this morning it worked quite well.
The instructions on the Mogno packaging don’t mention anything, but maybe the shaving soap was meant to be used that way.
Or maybe Ach. Brito just leaves it to the customer to use the bar in whatever way he likes…
