    Yes, MWF is a good soap all right. And it lasts a long, long time. In fact it is almost a certainty that it will outlast your curiosity regarding other soaps and creams!

    I tried this soap a while ago, back when I only used a DE. I can't get past the pine tree scent. I wish they'd make it in other scents. Maybe in a couple years ill come back to it again when my nose has matured.

    Pine tree? My MWF never smelled like pine tree.

    I'm in the same situation with another soap.
    I bought a jar of 'Martin de Candre' as a birthday present to myself a couple months ago and now I've only used other stuff maybe once or twice, it's a pitty because some of the stuff I have is really great.

    I had the Kent version. Although I've read there isn't much difference between it and the real deal. Ok, if you guys say it isn't, maybe ill try it again sooner!

    I enjoy the MWF when I shave in the shower with a DE. Very nice lather.

    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.

    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.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
