Thread: Mitchell's wool fat

No doubt, it's Mitchell's wool fat, just not their shaving puck. check their web site, They sell these little yellow wrapped bars or soap, very small, hotel size to be exact. I grated it with a cheese grater, added water and it's good. The grater I have makes it very fine, I added water and formed it. I have soft water, so most soaps work better for me. This soap was a gift along with some Col Con Glycerin soap. I don't think I ever said it was shaving soap, did I? just Mitchell's wool fat. I think I asked what I could do with a bar of soap? I do realize they make pucks as well. Funny thing, with a computer you can actually check web sites and stuff !

I would imagine you got some of the other soap, not the shaving soap...but it's still good stuff. Lots of nice lanolin for your hands!!!

No mistake, I just asked what I could do with a bar of soap? It is Mitchells' wool fat.

Dude, no, Go to their website and check out. Mitchell's makes a wide range of soap products. Some are regular bar soap. They're actually quite good.

By the way, followed the advice here and got some pretty good lather from the Mitchell's:

Why thanks Mate! My grated Mitchell's bath bar turned out OK. Not bad for a soap. I'm a shave cream guy....I have an array of soaps and creams, as I said, that Mitchell's was a freebie, With my soft water, it works...

It's been stated already, but I have to state my opinion - of course . It sounds like a bath soap. I bought a bar of their bath soap - a huge oval-ish bar. It is outstanding (as a bathsoap, not as shave soap). I may have found my go-to for the shower. It's not cheap, but the bar is really large and should last a long time.

Oh, and I love their shave soap too. I think it helps to use a little less water than with other soaps.

Yes, I don't think I ever once said that it was a shave soap, only a small bar and was asking if anyone had used it as such, shaved it down, or tried to melt it, you know....They do make wonderful soap, all around. Thanks

Best way to find out is try it, I reckon. I love their shaving soap so much I'm tempted to get the whole line...fantastic product.

One reason I particularly like the MWF is for me it has little or no aroma. I throw a dab of whatever flavor cream in the lathering bowl with it and one isn't clashing with the other. When I lather with any soap I sprinkle a bit of hot water on the puck to soften it while I'm in the shower. A trick I picked up from one thread or another somewhere along the way. Seems to me to work very well with some of the harder soaps.

I bought a "bar" of this, it is OK. I like smelly creams but it is fine no probs.
