Pretty good stuff!
I really learned to shave properly about a year and a half ago and bought a Merkur and an Edwin Jagger double edge along with a couple of straight razors. I also started to collect shaving soaps and creams one of which was this one. I realize that almost everything to do with likes and dislikes when it comes to do with shaving is very individual so my opinions may not resonate with yours!<br /><br />I find Mitchell's Wool Fat to be a nice soap. It took a little practice to learn to make a good lather with it but it was well worth the time! The lather holds up through a three pass shave and works well when using a straight razor or a double-edge. I am also impressed with the way this stuff lasts! The puck I am using seems to keep on going so I would say the slight extra cost is offset.<br /><br />Pros<br /><br />Makes a good long lasting lather<br /><br />Lubricates the face well<br /><br />Not expensive when you factor in the longevity of the puck<br /><br />Cons<br /><br />None that I can think of.<br /><br />Jimbo's rating system:<br /><br />Ease of making a lather ****<br /><br />Fragrance ****<br /><br />Lubricating quality ****<br /><br />Does the lather hold up ****<br /><br />Soap to lather ratio *****<br /><br />Bang for the buck *****<br /><br />Would I buy this again? Yup!<br /><br />I give this a solid 4 star ratting because this is, in my opinion, a really nice shaving soap and I would not hesitate to buy it again.<br /><br />Jim
