Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap Refill
|
Customer Rating:
|
Made in Bradford, England, this delicately scented shaving soap was born
almost a century ago, when chemist Fred Mitchell discovered it was
the lanolin in wool fat that was keeping the hands of local sheep shearers
and wool sorters so unnaturally soft. Mitchell's 4.4 oz. wool fat soap
continues to use lanolin
and other organic ingredients that soothe sensitive skin, and has
been broadly recommended by dermatologists to alleviate skin
complaints. Made in England.
Diameter: 3 inches

I bought this soap based on the reviews on this and other sites. It's relatively inexpensive so the cost of trying it was acceptable if it didn't work out. I also bought a few other soaps to see how they compared. This soap outperformed soaps that cost more and did not last nearly as long. This product is well worth the investment.

Once you learn the proper way to use this soap you'll like it. I wasn't completely sold on this soap when I first started using it back in September 2012, but since then I've been practicing with it and have come to enjoy using it. I bypass the cup and go straight to face lathering. It takes a little more water and elbow grease to work up a lather and I think face lathering gives you a better feel for where you're at. There seems to be a lot of tribal knowledge involved in using this soap and I think it would help if Mitchell's would include some "trouble shooting instructions" with this soap. This lack of instructions was the only thing keeping me from giving this soap 5 stars

Went to DE; started with Proraso, Art of Shaving, Taylor's of Old Bond Street; all fine products. Still got some nicks and burn, went to the Mitchell's and it has proven to be The Goods.
As described, it's a harder cake, mild, soapy, neutral scent, needs a little more work to get a good lather than most. This cake is too large to fit into a coffee mug; you'll need a shaving dish or one of those soup bowls with a handle. If you have hard water, you'll have to use heated bottled water with it, otherwise take it in the shower with you, fill the dish/bowl with warm water and shower. This'll get the cake a bit softened up for great lathering. When you're ready to shave, pour off the excess, get your brush (here's where a Wal-Mart boar bristle brush does well; it'll soften just right in a few shaves and yet retain the kind of "backbone" needed to work the soap into a nice lather), and go to work. Once you get a nice, thick, hot lather on your beard use your weapon of choice and you'll find a nice, silky, lush lather that even my Feather-fitted Merkur 34C glides right through. Niiiiiiiice.
Buy with confidence. I prefer a deeper dish than the Mitchell's container to get some lather worked up, but that's just MHO. The Best Shaving Soap Out There, bar none! Unless you're allergic to wool, maybe...

Best soap ever. , 11.10.2012

This soap is the best. I have tried Taylor of Old Bond St., Men-U, Van Der Hagen, and Col Conk and Mitchell's Wool Fat is the best of them all. I was surprised when I started to use it that in about 10 seconds I had a brush full of lather already. And it does leave your face feeling soft and smooth. This is worth the extra money. |

My Favourite of all the Soaps I've tried so far. Really not hard to use with an appealing scent. It easily creates a lather with warm water that thickens as applied. The next best is Kent's.
