    If you haven't yet, you really should do yourself a favor and try the Mitchels Wool Fat, it's a great soap, lathers great, smells great, and really affords a very smooth shave and is very good for your skin. I love the stuff!

    Yeah, you guys with your fingers on the Add to Cart icon should just go ahead and pull the trigger. It seems that there are just some iconic "rite of passage" products in this hobby that everyone has to at least try sooner or later: MWF, Tabac come to mind. If you don't like them, at least you tried them.

    edit: Forgot to mention VDH, Williams, Proraso/Bigelow etc., etc.

    It seems like a fair amount of people think that MWF smells like fat or dairy products, personally the smell of it reminds me of baby powder.

    If I recall correctly. The scent is said to have been based off that of patchouli. However. Most simply say its a soft talc scent.

    I read conflicting reports about the use of MWF on sensitive skin...I am inclined to pull the trigger on some, but my skin has a mind of it's own. I use Trumper and Bigelow without incident. Any guidance will be appreciated.

    Kind of like they either didnt know how or didnt care to make the soap smell anything other then old world soap smell.
    But its not unplesent its nostalgic I love that soap.
    So it smells like Ivory bar soap? Animal fat & lye soap?

    Have any of you had a problem with MWF drying out and looking like it's craked when left out in the shaving bowl?
