    Default Ingredients -- Kent / Mitchell Wool Fat, Tabac Original Soap, Proraso Cream

    I just got a shaving soap shipment yesterday.

    I was surprised at the lack of "natural ingredients" in the Kent / MWF. If somebody could check the list against "non-Kent" MWF, I'd appreciate it. The catalog comment includes:

    . . . A simple and natural product, Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap is still made to
    . . . Mr. Mitchell's original formula, based on a recipe from the turn of the
    . . . century and incorporating lanolin from the wool fat as the key ingredient.

    There's not a whole lot of lanolin in there -- less that the citronella scent . . .

    Here's the full set:
