Review (5/5): The fat
This is a classic. Having tried a few hard soaps and creams and also having heard that "the fat" has a cult-like following, I had to try it.
The smell is nothing short of awesome. Kind of a powdery linen clean smell. And it's a pervasive smell too, that will carry with you after your shave.
But the magic of MWF is the lanolin, a natural wax that the sheep exude to protect their wool... The original Mitchell noticed that wool shearers' hands were always soft and supple, and thankfully decided to try a shaving product based in it.
You will notice the lanolin effect right after your shave as you're rinsing off your face. It will be smooth and moist and will feel awesome.
MWF can be tough to lather, but after a few tries and watching a few videos online you'll get the hang of it. For best results try skipping the bowl/scuttle and just face-lather. It'll create a luscious, moisturizing, delicious smelling lather that is like no other.
