Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap & Ceramic Dish 125g

Product Review (submitted on 17 September 2020):

**Review of old formulation**


After all the hype, I thought I would give this shaving soap a try. I have a number of different soaps / creams, depending on how I feel in the morning.
Firstly, I will say to those that struggle with making an effective lather - LET IT SOAK. Add warm water to the bowl, let the soap soften for a few minutes. Drain the water and use your already warm and moist brush to collect soap. I swirl for about 10 seconds and lather on the face (during the summer) or in a hot scuttle (during the winter months).
Soap produces a good smooth and silky lather. Not too slippery when shaving but the razor does seem to glide on the slickness.
Not much in the way of scent, but it is not unpleasant.
Not the easiest to wash off, but a hot wet towel removes the excess.
Would I recommend - Yes. Get one, if only for the ceramic bowl.
