Gentlemen, Mitchell's Wool Fat is a way of life. It's part of the sacred right of passage into the wet shaving world. Except that this superb soap takes a permanent place in the luggage. I have used it for years, and will use it into the next century. No uberlather mixing with this. Nothing like that. No need for it. I take it straight and my Hollywood face loves me for it. I have a full soap dish and two replacement pucks. I think I need to buy a half a dozen more pucks just in case the world comes to an end.
