I find the two pretty close ... certainly closer than the Tabac tallow/veg.
Do you have a known (older) tallow MWF to compare @Eurofighter
... or @donnie_arko do you care to bust open your Ken 9265 to come to older MWF?
I don't. Last time I've used MWF was about 3-4 years ago. I'll report back as soon as I find some tallow MWF.I find the two pretty close ... certainly closer than the Tabac tallow/veg.

I'd be at odds to say Kent 9265 is tallow. Like my initial observation, it smells different to the MWF 9265.
To my nose, the tallow one smells softer whilst the palm oil smells a bit more floral.
I can't be 100% certain though.
Performance? Give it a test lather?
Connought Shaving makes a wooden bowl for large pucks, and also sells MWF with said bowl as a combo or as a standalone.I have two observations.
- What wooden bowl is that? Mine (TOBS) was too shallow for my MWF puck.
- Does it shave OK. My (confirmed by @pjgh ) looked ok-ish on the brush but dissipated on the face, and unshaveable.
Having said that, it does look like a mighty fine dense lather.
Report from @brucered, MWF batch 8923 is good. That was supposedly one of the 'bad' batches, at least with the Kent pucks.View attachment 106937
It'd be interesting to know ... both whether this person can actually shave with that lather and whether any others can be actually confirmed good.
I could happily create such a lather on the brush and even as a hand-lather, but when it hit the face it smeared around in a patch and refused to ... well, spread. With enough water it could be encouraged to do so but then dissipated. Or, that little bit over-watery from the off and it'd just be foam that would disappear on the face and eventually from the brush too.
From a few posts previous with tallow and palm being the main ingredient in the same batch, suggests the batch numbers are irrelevant. Not helpful for quality control and potential issues with batches."MWF batch 8923.
... the batch numbers mean nothing. ...
