Thread: Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap

My take on MWF is that it produces a very thick and well constructed lather with a pleasant scent. I find you need to use more water than with other soaps and having soft water is a real help. However I would not say it's as good as a typical triple milled soap like Trumpers or Harris or some of the others. I feel it falls just short of that bar. But nonetheless it's still a quality soap and I use it.

As I've been testing MWF I notice that my less than great responces are with my silver tip brushes, the pure badger seems to work better for me.

Anyone else notice this or do I need to work on my silvertip more with that soap??

Yeah, my stiffer badger works better than the softer ones I have with MWF. I put it down to the loft rather than the quality of the bristle, but perhaps you are right.

One thing I have not noticed people talking about in here is the longevity of the stuff. I cannot remember when I received my cake (thanks Lee!), but it must have been 3-4 months ago. I have been using it exclusively since I received it, and there is still more than half of it left!
