i like it but it is thicker and harder to lather than the green tubDarren said:Must get on....:dodgy: got work to do but just wanted to say a few words about my first shave with the Proraso White Pot Sensitive Skin Soap in comparison to the Fat.
The Proraso smells great and produces a very nice shave with very little irritation. On the flipside, it didnt quite produce that rich, low friction lather that the Mitchells is rightly famed for. It was also harder to load the brush. Perhaps this will improve as the pot wears down a bit - the Mitchell's has done so.
Both are great. But I can clearly see why the Wool Fat's reputation is so high.
It's all very interesting......

I now find that I don't love a bit of fat at all...[snip]...The Mitchells is a horrid old antique in my opinion and I've just binned the last 3/4 of a puck after a final shave with it. It won't be missed.

I now find that I don't love a bit of fat at all. Since joining this forum I've been introduced to so many delightful soaps that smell so darn good that I can't see the point in putting up with the Mitchells for a moment longer. The Palmolive stick lathers better, nanny's smells far better and the Proraso white bowl is kinder to my skin..... The Mitchells is a horrid old antique in my opinion and I've just binned the last 3/4 of a puck after a final shave with it. It won't be missed.

But throwing away that greasy bar of soap was the smartest thing I've done all week. I considered using it in the shower but couldn't face emerging smelling like granny's boudoir but hey, if that's your thing.......

Heh, nice post,
That's right about everyone having their druthers. In this case you are wrong about not enjoying the scent, but no big deal. The MWF fragrance does indeed smell like grannie's drawers. How can anyone not like that fragrance?
What I don't understand is how some people will actually seek out other shaving products that either smell like cleaning day in a Turkish prison, or will have the revolting scent of dead things. Dead things!
You know any nut cases like that?

And then I would have taken myself up on my own offer as I love it!
