Gentlemen: I find Mitchell's Wool Fat superb in every way. It has all the essential requirements for a first-tier shave soap: lather, glide, cushion, and silk — the silk is the blanket it leaves on the face after the shave. I have used the soap regularly for a number of years. There's only one problem: With a stack of Mitchell's Wool Fat tucked away in the shave den closet, what if the world comes to an end? Maybe I should round up a few more pucks, eh?
