Have any burning questions you would like ask our wet shaving expert Aaron Wolfenbarger? Is shaving lather really important? Should I shave with or against the grain? What causes razor bumps and how can I get rid of them? Feel free to ask any pressing question you want answering.
Author: Jakob Elbęk Egegaard Pedersen If I should chose to keep only one shaving soap, this would be it! The lather produced by this soap is without comparison the most comfortable and effective I have experienced.
The scent is discreet, classic and appealing - and doesn't interfere with your afterhave/cologne.
If considering whether to get this soap with or without the ceramic bowl, I say; get the bowl. Not only is it practical it is also classy and good looking, I wish more shaving soaps came ind bowls like this.
If you haven't yet tried this soap you are definitly missing out.
Author: Daniel Kinlan A soap that will enhance and wet shaving experience, Mitchell's Wool Fat soap is luxurious, smooth and incredibly kind to your skin. Creating a rich, foamy lather is child's play and once your brush has loaded it onto your face you will really appreciate the smooth glide of your razor.
The ceramic bowl is a nice touch that also seems to hold a bit of heat when you are mixing your lather, which is beneficial when you are making multiple passes during your shave and you want your lather to stay warm. It's also a good looking item to have in your bathroom.
Author: Christian Oppermann Everything about this soap is just amazing. When you get the hang of the soap/water ratio, this soap really gives a nice lather that makes the shave really smooth and comfortable. Another really important aspect of this soap to me, is that it is very mild and moistures a lot, which makes it perfect for my sensitive skin.
I find that the best way to use this soap is to lather directly onto the face, but lathering in a bowl works as well.
Author: Jeremy Williams Just moved from a shaving cream to MWF based on the good reviews here and elsewhere. I have also switched to lathering on the face, and this works really well with this soap.
When it initially goes on, it looks thin and incapable of turning into a rich lather, but with a few swirls of the brush the lather is as rich and thick as with the cream, and slippier too. What's more, the residue on the brush is plenty for several more passes, producing the same level of lather, which I DIDN'T expect.
The results are better than I've ever had before - smooth, comfortable skin and no nicks. Will definitely order again. MWF is superb!
Author: Leo Once I learned to lather this stuff it gave me the best shaves of my life! My skin had never felt the same after shaving. I didn't feel any need for aftershave balm even during the cold and dry winter in Finland. The lather is very rich and glides well providing an awesome cushion. Makes easily enough lather for three or even more passes if you cup lather. A must try for all wet shavers.
Author: Andrew Moody This soap I have used since I started. Lathering was really easy and the smooth texture is just simply the best base for a real clean, close shave. Nearest cream is Bluebeards!
Author: Steven Saville Quality product this one, it took me a few goes to create a nice lather but once I got the hang of it it works really well. It has a nice smell which is not too over powering but once you shave it leaves you feeling really clean. Looks like its going to last me a long time too.
Author: Mattlad This is a lovely shaving soap!
Initially I was having trouble getting a consistent lather, especially living in a hard water area. It is well worth the input though, with a little effort it is possible to make an excellent lather.
I prefer to use a slightly stiffer brush, and spend about twice as long making the lather compared to other soaps and creams.
It is well worth it though, I and get an amazing amount of thick, creamy lather, enough for more passes than I need to make!
I also love the packaging, it has that lovely traditional quality of days gone by that makes your grandfather go misty eyed talking about "the good 'ole days"
The Best!
Author: KARL The best soap I have ever used! A classic, clean and subtle scent.
Easily produced a perfect lather 1st time with just a few swirls of the brush. The lather is something special: Firm, lovely and soft with a cushioning and lubricating effect, softens the stubble up a treat and really moisturises and protects the skin. The lather seems to retain more water than other soaps without compromising its firmness so no worries of this drying out, it last and lasts!
This soap is especially suited to straight razor shaving.
Get the ceramic bowl, its a good usable size, retains heat, looks smart and you will definitely be getting a refill!
A real luxury.
Author: Mr T The whole packaging of this product is by far the best on the market! You have to get the ceramic pot, just looks so good.
I was slightly apprehensive about getting this soap as some people have a problem with creating enough lather (most problems seem to come from America, so not sure if this is down to water 'hardness'). I needn't have worried as I got a nice silky, smooth lather in double quick time that was enough for at least 3-4 passes.
Author: Henrik Fredriksson I have used MANY brands of soap and creams but in later years I so much prefer soaps. Tabac is (was) my favourite. I heard a great deal about this soap so I gave it try. After first use I was hooked. The lather feels like a soft cushion on the skin. I live in a dry and cold climate and often my skin requires added moisture after shaving. Not with this soap. I found myself smiling, patting my soft chin at work. This is due to the lanolin in this soap I gather. Excellent stuff. The scent is very classy and slightly addictive. One last advice. Go for face lathering for this soap- that is supreme. Would I buy again? Without hesitation..
