Thanks for the heads-up! I like pine-y scents and have been meaning to get some MWF. So maybe I'll put that on hold for a bit and try the Kent.

The Kent soap is Mitchell's Wool Fat in its own packaging. It also goes under the name of Bluebeard's Revenge too. All three products are identical.

Love the stuff. It has a permanent spot on my rotation.

Lathers quite easily for me, but my face couldn't agree with the lanolin content. A little bit is OK, but too much caused me some sensitivity...

I'll always have some in my den. Probably the slickest soap I've used.

Same for me, easy to lather but it leaves my face a bit red and irritated. It works great as a substitute for saddle soap to clean dirty strops though, leaves them clean and well cared for, they come out as new!
