I too have never bloomed MWF or any other soap for that matter. I wet my brush, I load up and I go. I do use a shave scuttle with very hot water however. I don't know .... it's never been an issue for me really.
It is a hard soap so treat it like a triple milled soap.All in all just wanted to share how much harder it is to load unbloomed MWF
Like the old advice on how to lather Williams:Thanks to the brain trust here at B & B, I've learned how to load MWF much easier. Grate Haslinger Schafmilch in with MWF at about a 50 / 50 ratio. Marvelous results!
Or do what I do: cut it 50/50 with Arko!Thanks to the brain trust here at B & B, I've learned how to load MWF much easier. Grate Haslinger Schafmilch in with MWF at about a 50 / 50 ratio. Marvelous results!
As long as it wasn't @Ad Astra ! He's kinda Spacey....I heard if you sleep with the puck under your pillow or carry it in your pocket to keep it warm then it performs much better…probably bad advice since I got the info from Reddit.
I have a tin of Fat 'as (50% Haslinger Schafmilch + 50% MWF) I haven't used in some time. Think I'll use it for my Tuesday through Saturday soap this week.Thanks to the brain trust here at B & B, I've learned how to load MWF much easier.

I bet it’ll clean grannies dentures!Or do what I do: cut it 50/50 with Arko!
I put that Arko on everything! It'll take grass stains off yer jeans in one wash. True story doggone!!!
I haven’t used it in quite a while, but it provides a very pleasant shave. Hope you enjoy yours!I have a tin of Fat 'as (50% Haslinger Schafmilch + 50% MWF) I haven't used in some time. Think I'll use it for my Tuesday through Saturday soap this week.
Sounds like a Frankenstein soap! How well does it work?I have a tin of Fat 'as (50% Haslinger Schafmilch + 50% MWF) I haven't used in some time. Think I'll use it for my Tuesday through Saturday soap this week.
I'm guessing it's baaaaah-d to the boooooone!
I find the only thing needed to make MWF sing is a stiffer brush.On my 1st shave I bloomed it for 24h since it was something a lot of people recommend and it loaded with ease, enough for 2.5 passes but got leftover for 2 more.
Today it was my 2nd shave after it was just sitting there for a few weeks. I did not bloom it and went srraight to loading. It was huge PITA, and I had to revisit the puck after each pass. I still got a nice slick lather and a wonderfull shave. Since I used less soap my face doesn't feel sticky as it did after 1st shave. Or maybe it was because I rinsed mor thoroughly this time.
