After reading several threads about Mitchell's Wool Fat, I decided to break down and buy a puck. I'll admit I was a little apprehensive because some people seem to indicate that it could be a little finicky about lathering. Maybe my water is just right, or maybe the stars were properly aligned, but it performed outstandingly. I normally ublerlather but decided to see what MWF would do on it's own with bowl lathering. After about 3 minutes of whipping, it exploded and was threatening to fly out of the bowl. It built up a rich, creamy lather. I love the subtle fragrance and the glide/cushion was fantastic. It is definitely worth the expense to me.

I can't say it has replaced Martin de Candre as my top soap, but it's not far behind.
