I thought I'd give Mitchell's Wool Fat soap a try since it's made in the UK, and there are loads of folks talking about it over on B&B.
It arrived here this morning. I ordered the soap in the ceramic dish which looks nice but costs a lot more than buying just the puck, in hindsight I'd probably have just order a puck but there we are, the dish looks nice.
The soap itsself is unscented as far as I can tell, it just smells clean and 'soapy', very pleasant. It's rich in Lanolin, and is apparently a formula first sold in 1893.
Anyway I gave it a try this morning, and it was great. I think it's about the best soap I've used to date. It lathers up easily, and gives a super comfortable shave. After the shave I had no irritation whatsoever and also my skin felt like it didn't need anything else on it, a/s balm or splash etc.
Anyway it gets the thumbs up from me, give it a try if you haven't already. :tu

In the USA you can get it from http://www.leesrazors.com/shavingSoaps.htm and probably other places too.
In Europe, well I bought mine from http://connaughtshaving.com/index.html so I can recommend them.
