Review (5/5): give it a try
update----------
after a few shaves; I'm still enjoying this product. The puck is very large compared to the Van der Hagen puck. Which is what I was using. For the Van der Hagen soap, I was using a small Indian serving bowl. It provided enough space for the lather and the puck; no dice with the Mitchell's. I had to place the Mitchell's in my 20oz rounded coffee mug.

The mug provides enough space for the puck and a lot of froth. I'm a cheap SOB, so I like that the leftover lather in the bowl doesn't dry out and become wasted. I also switched to a safety razor because I'm cheap and want a fresh blade with each shave.
-about me
I am genetically Germanic, so my facial hair is a bit tough. I also have sensitive skin and I hate shaving because of it. I only need to shave twice a week. But, when I do shave, I want a fresh blade.
I switched to safety razors because of this need. Electric razors would pull out my hair and irritate my skin. Conventional Mach-somethings dulled quickly and replacing the head twice a week was expensive. I switched to safety razors because it is cheaper and provides a good enough shave. I think the Machs shave closer.
Since switching to the Mitchell's a few weeks ago, I don't dread shaving as much. And, I'm getting just as close a shave as the Machs.
additionally;I learned about the product Mother Dirt from a podcast. I have been using it for two weeks and it seems to help reduce my oil, so far.

I think Mitchell's is going to be my default shaving soap from now on.
original----------------
So far so good. I have only used it for two shaves but it gives me a closer shave than the Van Der Hagen puck did.
The only change I made to my shaving setup was the soap. The blades and techniques are the same.
I have oily sensitive skin and this has not irritated it so far.
