Alternatives To Mitchell's Wool Fat

[Mr.Draper87]

Hi guys, I have never been a fan of shaving soaps, so have always used shaving creams. But would always get some mild irritation to my skin from th creams. This year though I tried Mitchell's Wool and my sensetive skin fells so much better after a shave and im getting no irritation at all now.

So I'm wondering if there are any similar soaps out there that people could reccomend to me?

Thanks
Callum

Oatcake soap (Etsy)

Based on oats rather than milk/lanolin but very protective and soothing for rosacea. Not a medical recommendation.

I've heard very good things about Signature Soaps Capra Goats Milk hybrid shaving soap if you have sensitive skin

The only one that I've found comes close is from Scottish Fine Soaps. In a blind test around 5 years ago, I swore it was MWF. Whether that's still the soap they do, I don't know.

There are dozens of better alternatives out there. This thread just sounds like another promo for that particular soap. I have sensitive skin and can use Palmolive, Tabac, Prosaso and various cheaper brand soaps aswell as some of the triple milled hard soaps which are great performers. The last thing I'd want use is a sheep dip filtrate.

I've just ordered some Haslinger Schafmilch and a tin of Oatcake Overgrowth. So will give these a try and see how I get on.

Thanks for the recommendations.

ooooh you big cynic, if that was the case why would he be asking for alternatives? Surely extolling the virtues of MWF would be a better promotion.

 

[Johnjo]

Like he didn't? Really?

I was blind and now I can see!
Surprised there isn't a thumbnail in the thread title too

I have put up many posts praising a particular product. I did this because I had had a good experience and wished to share. It has never occurred to me for a moment that I was 'advertising'. I don't think the OP is any different.

Is it wrong of me to praise a product that has given me good results and wish to discover similar products that could give me the same, if not better?

 

[Johnjo]

Sorry, but it just strikes me as blatant. Its not just this site that I see that product over rated.
Cant prove it's advertising of course but I know what I see and read.
Call me a cynic, whatever. I've also been accused of not knowing how to lather also by not being in love with that product.
There is however a good tutorial vid on YT about how to lather that product.....if you have an hour to spare.

If it takes you an hour to lather it, you're doing it wrong....
