MWF for the face

[adrox]

I've been using MWF shaving soap for the past few days and I noticed that after the shave my face feels very soft and conditioned. It must the lanolin in the soap.

In the very dry Calgary winter I have always had extremely dry skin the winter. So, for the past few days after my shave I have been using the left over soap in the brush to lather all over my face. After I apply my regular moisturizer (Johnson's baby lotion) I have noticed that my face feels soft for the entire day and doesn't dry out nearly as much.

I'd like to buy some regular MWF soap to wash my face with daily but a 3-pack will cost me over $30 shipped from the UK to Canada. I don't want to use a heavier moisturizer so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any cheaper lanolin soap in Canada?

My only requirements would be that the lanolin soap is available in Canada, doesnt have a strong scent, and is not from Crabtree & Evelyn .

For what it's worth, I'd like to say that the MWF soap is excellent. I tend to have dry skin, but I have no problems showering with this soap. It is triple-milled, so one bar will last quite some time, particularly when used with a pouf, which seems to quintuple soap lifetimes in my hands.

Have you considered ordering from a US vendor? That should be quite favorable at the moment in terms of exchange rates.

That is precisely why MWF is my favorite shaving soap. Although some of the French shea butter soaps do almost as well.
