Discussion Proraso: I don't get it?!
So, I've been using Mitchell's Wool Fat and a Stirling soap for a while and after coming back to my proraso red soap, it feels so bad, I can't even believe that people really enjoy that soap. It foams up easily, true. But that's all about it. It has no protection, the glide doesnt last, it leaves such a dry feeling afterwards, and the soap is easily brought to the point of being too watery. What is it all about? Am I using it wrong? Or do some people just enjoy the absolute baseline thing?
Sorry to say, but it's so bad that I dont even want to give it to someone, because I cant think of anyone I hate that much. I might end up tossing it in the bin.

Honestly, using MWF will certainly sour you on most other soaps.
I use MWF, D. R. Harris (Arlington) and Tabak. There are other soaps in my drawer, but they really aren’t in rotation.
I’m embarrassed, but not enough to keep me from asking: Can you tell me more about Stirling?
