Thread: Great deals on MWF

You guys are tempting me way too much!!

I can't even use Kent/MWF on my face due to the high lanolin content, but as I will have an empty Kent ceramic shaving mug soon (when the Palmolive shave sticks run out), I'm tempted to buy another Kent/MWF refill puck and put it in the mug just for the sake of it! I used it in the past, got superb lather out but it just wouldn't agree with my face and dried it out a lot.

Oh well, at least the mug will look good. I need help!!!

Ah, that's terrible. I use mfw as my main soap and couldn't imagine life without it. How does it irritate your skin - redness/itchiness, etc?

And thanks for your review of Palmolive. I'm really looking forward to trying it.

The sad fact is that some folks get an allergic reaction to lanolin.

Yep, I think it's the lanolin too. Just makes my face feel rough and the 10 o'clock shadow arrives at 5 instead. Although the shave itself feels good. Seems to dry my skin out too.

Interestingly, the Creed Vetiver also contains lanolin but I am a huge fan of it. Lather is hard to get right at first too, just like MWF/Kent but it's really superb when you get the hang of it. The moisturising properties of this soap are quite unbeatable.

Anytime on the Palmolive. I have loads more reviews that I want to put here. I may not be a moderator, but I like to think I'm doing my bit here. It really makes the effort worthwhile when someone sends their thanks and I do hope it has helped at least someone decide on a soap, after shave or cologne.

I tried the bath soap and shampoo today, both for the first time.
Here's a quick review.
Bath soap:
lathers really well, cleans well, nice fragrance, easy to hold (it's really quite big). I normally use L'occitane milk soap which I find to be a really nice and well made soap although it doesn't last so long. I'd say MWF soap is more similar to that than to a cheap bar from the supermarket. And the price was about 2 pounds. If you haven't tried it, you want a simple but good soap, you enjoy using soaps, and you don't mind if they are a little unassuming then you'll enjoy it.

Shampoo:
First, it comes in a nice little bottle which would be a good size if you want to go traveling, or like me, like to change your shampoo and don't like getting stuck with some one liter bottle. However you only need a little so I expect it will last quite a while anyway.
It basically feels like J&J baby shampoo. It has a simple and plain smell, lathers well, removes oil well and leaves your hair squeaky clean. I also found it to be quite gentle and my hair looked a little fuller after I had dried it all off. I am generally very careful with shampoos because most of them cause me irritation such as dryness, redness or itchiness, however, this one didn't.
If you want a well made shampoo that does what it's supposed to do, nothing more nothing less, then try it.

I couldn't stop my self any longer, I just placed an order!

The Pommery is good, but its a little hard getting a good lather out of it. I usually just paint brush it on, then shave.

Hello All,

I haven't ordered from the website below, but they also offer good prices on Mitchell's Wool Fat soap.

carbolicsoap.com

Does anyone have experience with this vendor?

Thanks,
Mike
