Or that some people throw the teddy out of the cot over the most mundane things, YMMV...

When of course it's well known that soap makers don't have a set way of doing things, they just throw stuff into a cauldron at random and hope.

From their website

"A traditional soap that is kindness itself MITCHELL'S WOOL FAT SOAP was first produced in the early 1930's by Bradford chemist Fred Mitchell who realised that by randomly combining ingredients he made soap which sometimes produced an unctuous lather and other times a light foam which dissipated on contact with skin. This soap is still made to Mr Mitchell's original formula, based on whatever ingredients we have lying around."

I've still to try MWF, so I'll reserve judgement. But it certainly divides opinion, lathers for some and doesn't for others - the Marmite of soaps....and I don't like Marmite lol

I prefer Bovril but Marmite is ok in a pinch.

Bovril crisps were the business, but sadly no more.

As for MWF, tried it wasn't keen. Lathered ok with our lovely soft water.

Genius!

Try MWF with a synthetic brush, if you haven't already. You may be pleasantly surprised

Though I live around 15 or so miles from him, and therefore have similar water (hence it might not be valid in other regions), I've always found the technique outlined here by Darren Webster works beautifully:
