I'd like to point out that YOU are the only one in this thread that's been obsessing over the amount of lanolin in MWF.If your so obsessed with such a little amount of the damn ingredient - buy some lanolin and apply the stuff to your skin after shaving. Or before - if you want to push the boat out!
Your post that started all this.Considering the tiny amount of lanolin in Mitchell's, do you think it objectively adds anything, considering P&B has a ton of the stuff in comparison you'd think the post feel of the latter would be like silk?
Your post that continued the theme.I could melt down Mitchells and add a good amount lanolin to it and make a proper lanolin shaving soap?
I dont have high hopes because P&B have loads of the stuff and it dont feel any better than other good post feel shave soaps.

Ahem. He's used it once. He's entitled to any opinions he has about it. I recently did something similar in the seven potions thread. Though my gripes were mostly about smell...Or just use the best soap in the world ... since 1893 and still so!
Ah ... we've been here before. It from Yorkshire, mate. Yorkshire. We don't suffer by the rules of other men.I have always wondered how they get away with the "Original 1893 Formula" thing, when they have ingredients in it that weren't created until the 1920's.

Our man @Blademonkey did some home hackery with a bol of Monsavon: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/community/threads/which-soaps-contain-lanolin.52507/post-793125 ... yeah, guess the lanolin could be boosted ... or even, as you say, just applied as a raw material. Mitchell's do make such a thing: https://mitchellswoolfatsoap.co.uk/product/lanolin-m/If your so obsessed with such a little amount of the damn ingredient - buy some lanolin and apply the stuff to your skin after shaving.

I Enjoyed the round soap and wanted to try the bar. My wife and son liked the fact it didn't dry their face out and make the skin flakey as a lot of commercial soaps seem to do to them both.Yep! Bar in the kitchen for when I come in from working outside. I like the trio of travel size.

I'd never even heard of P&B before this thread, but I'm not British either. Thanks to the magic of abbreviation, I still have no clue what soap you all are talking about. P&B lanolin soap returns nothing on Google, so I quickly lost interest.FWIW, I think P&B is a better shaving soap than MWF for one reason: it's slicker.
But, since I'm not British no one here probably gives a sh$#.
