I can't find the barcode on a number of inventory websites but at least 5011637 does consistently glean Kent products.
Looks fake to me, before, I have a bloody heart attack. Keep searching Sherlock HolmesI can't find the barcode on a number of inventory websites but at least 5011637 does consistently glean Kent products.
It does look like EJ or/and Muhle's packaging as well. Their pucks come in 65g.
Goodness knows @dodgy! Bootleg? "Contains Lanolin" on the front yet not listed in the INCI on the back. Frankly, it looks like Edwin Jagger's formulation.
I can just about smell the scent from my Muhle Sea Buckthorne pucks in their cellophane wrapping. There are no stickers on my pucks.Thanks guys,
Can't remember the vendor and the plastic wrap is thick enough to prevent any definite MWF/Kent classic scent from being detected. Now I'm tempted to at least make a small hole and take a huff.

I notice that puck you have is SB4, my Kent MWF puck is SB2. Certainly not claiming to be the same soap as far as the product code is concerned. Just slightly inaccurate label info.
Oddly enough it is still the sorbitol formulation on their website.

If...I can see a massive purchase from everyone coming when they restock.
Not available to stockists, so this will be left over stock. As they bought the soap from Mitchell's they may not know who makes it.
Kent did inadvertently receive the first of the palmate reformulations which a few got out with the older tallowate labelling as they were not sent stickers. Before too long, they clearly refuffed Mitchell's and went with a sorbitol formulation.
When second reformulation MWF cakes under Kent branding seemed to be supplied by Amazon US, I queried Kent on the matter. Quite a long back and forth asking about whether they were now supplying the last MWF formulation, but they were adamant that this was not a thing and that the sorbitol formulation on the website was what they were now supplying.
At the very same time, it became news that Mitchell's had called it a day and I progessed my query with Kent to ask about whether they were taking on the shaving soap. Again, the answer was no and that the sorbitol formulation was what they now stock and supply.
... so curious that they were at the same time supplying what is presumably the last stocks of MWF while listing the sorbitol formulation on their website and have now switched the website. I guess next month, they'll switch it back. Archive.org only has one change this year and that's from January:

I suppose in the end, it's just a SKU to Kent - shaving soap puck. Wishful thinking.
We have seen (from @dodgy) that at some point in the past they've sent out Edwin Jagger pucks as their shaving soap - the barcode is correct.
