I have a wide collection of soaps and creams and this is my new favorite. Had no problem lathering the soap and it made a lovely lather.
After a final rinse the skin is left soft and irritation free the added lanolin is a real treat for the skin.
The price put me off initially but as they say you really get what you pay for with this soap. I'd recommend it to anyone.

After previously having used canned goop or just shaving in the shower, I read up on the benefits of using proper products and got this and a Vulfix Super Badger brush (not from Men'sBiz).

I have to say that I have had a varied experience with this. I had read that this stuff was the best, so went for it, along with the ceramic (I think?) dish. I have tried lathering in the dish, in a bowl, palm lathering and face lathering. I have found palm and bowl lathering to work best, FOR ME. Most others say face lathering is the best but I find it doesn't work as well.

Now, this soap usually provides me with a decent lather and good shaving experience. It is post-shave that I find that it loses out. Every time I use it (and I have tried many different methods, from one-pass, all the way to five-pass) my skin ends up drying out and I have since resorted to buying some Nivea Post Shave Balm to moisturise afterwards.

NB: I have since read that the Vulfix brush that I use is not preferred and is too floppy and hard to use (especially as a first brush). Apparently, stiffer brushes, with more backbone (or even boar) brushes work better with this soap.

My wife has always sworn by lanolin products so i decided to give this a go...and I have never looked back! I am now onto my third soap refill. It is incredibly soft and smooth on sensitive skin, lathers easily and has a pleasant but very subtle fragrance.
I use it with proraso before and after. It just doesn't get better than Mitchell's.

My first soap purchase, was concerned with water quality issues regarding lather quality. This was not necessary as the lather pours out of the brush and the shave mug.

Give it a bit of a sprinkle with water before a shower and it will lather effortlessly. Builds enough lather for 4 passes and a rub into my hands for a lasting MWF smell.

Pressure gel packs never again , ever.

I got my shaving soap in January this year. I can safely say that after almost 5 months I'll never be going back to shaving cream in a can. Smells good, lathers good and makes shaving so easy. I recommend this soap to all my friends even if they don't use a DE razor.

Have to agree with Michael and Paul. This is an excellent shave soap - particularly for a straight razor.

Very good for sensitive skin and creates a great consistant lather.

Lathers easily and is rich and thick. Protects my sensitive skin better than any other shave soap I have used. Looks like it will last for ages too, definitely buy again.

I have dry skin. The Mitchells wool fat soap lathered nicely with
a pure badger brush and left my face feeling softer and smoother
than with any other soap/cream I have tried. For me, again 5
stars. The order arrived within 2 working days. The contents were very
well packed. Great initial impression.

This soap takes a little getting used to, but the more I used it the easier I got an optimal lather from it. Get the brush soaked in hot water, whirl it on the puck and lather on the face. If the lather is too thin, whirl the brush on the puck some more. If it's too thick, add a little more water. Can't go wrong.

I use this with Proraso pre post. It makes a great lather and is one of my favourites for a smooth shave.

MWF is one of those "holy grail" soaps in the wetshaving community. It has a fairly neutral smell and the lathery tallowy goodness just explodes when you use it. The addition of lanolin is just a bonus and is great for the skin.

Once one has got accustomed to the idea that you are essentially applying a dead sheep to your face, then this is a top knotch product. Lathers well, good cushioning, and leaves the skin well nourished and soft. My current go to choice of soaps.

I have used MWF almost exclusively for 2 months and have found that after my shave i dont need to apply any aftershave or balms at all. It lathers consistently every time and i get a great 4 pass shave with some reserve for a brush squeeze to apply to my face while cleaning my gear.A simple rinse in cold water and your away feeling refreshed and smooth.A must have for anyone in their shave den.
