It's superb, I used Kent shaving soap years ago, not realising it is the same thing, relabeled.

A real classic. So many soaps, not enough shaves

Kent shaving soap, the same thing?

Really?

I think so. I'm going on my soaps that are a couple of years old. I'm not sure if things have changed.

Ive just checked online and you seem to be right. However, everyone says MWF has not much scent but Kent soap has patchouli,lavender,pine and sandalwood ect ect ect fragrance in it.

MWF is a superb soap ,provides a great lather and the post shave feel is excellent.
The nice dish it's housed in is an added bonus.

I've used it for years, like it, it agrees with me, I can lather it..... And so forth.

The use of MWF is a sort of "Rite of Passage". Get the better of it, and you'll be confident with any other.

I've tried both and couldn't tell any difference in performance or scent. I got the MWF from the manufacturer, the Kent was/is available in a lot of High Street pharmacies. If you like one, try both!

At only Â£6 per puck what have you got to lose?

Oh yes, when dialled in right, it's GREAT A classic that everyone should try enough times to get it right.

It was my favourite for a time, moved on to pastures new but will always be fond of the fat... Post shave feel after using it is like this:

Ah, the fat. Truly excellent. One of the greatest bargains out there. Post-shave feel is outstanding.
Given all the responses, you should be ordering in 3 2 1............

Great soap, great price, full of tallow and lanolin, what's not to like?

This!!! For all that's sacred!

You need to try both at some point they're both brilliant.

I love it, but then I live less than a mile from the factory in the peoples republic of Yorkshire. I think it helps if you have soft water from t'Pennines. I remember trying it in London where the water is that hard it comes out with a flick knife and I really struggled.
