Thread: Kent Shave soap?

Has anyone used Kent Shave soap? Ive been using it for several shaves now and I like it. Comes in a walnut bowl...nice quality, It lathers well for me and the smell (not sure what it is) reminds me of my grandparents house so I like it for that too. Just wondering what others have experienced...Turbodude out!

sorry yall its a dark oak dish

The Kent is my favourite soap and the one I use most. It is in fact also believed to be Mitchell's Wool Fat, just with the Kent name on it. Absolutely fantastic soap and at a great price!

I went through a puck of it and I do believe it is MWF. It is cheaper but the wooden bowl mine came in was a natural wood color and deteriorated over time. When I was done with it I bought the regular MWF in the ceramic bowl. As long as I don't break it I will only need the refills now and the ceramic is more friendly to my brushes than the wooden Kent bowl. I have wooden bowls from Trumper's and from D.R. Harris and no problems with those.

ok sweet thanks guys...I'm just glad to see I haven't been putting sulfuric acid on my face or anything. You know I found a hallmark gift shop today that had the most perfect "soup mug", that actually fits the whole Kent bowl inside it, and i figure Im just going to use the bowl the Kent came in for storage more or less and the soup bowl for mixing my lather concoctions (Kent soap lather, vitamin E oil, glycerin, and proraso shave cream for the eucalyptus oil). Ive heard great things about MWF is that true? Thanks

i use it every day and i love it.discoverd it from a frend who also swears by it

One of the few things I can say is my #1 favorite soap in wet shaving. With other items there are too many favs to whittle it down to one. YMMV

Ha Ha sweet. I went straight to the top on my first soap. Ill definitely keep using it but i want to try some others too just to mix it up, any suggestions along the same lines as the Kent. Thanks
