Mitchell's Wool Fat soap no longer contains tallow

That's all I know. This was announced a couple of days ago on one of the more active shaving forums.

SOTD May 15 - May 21, 2023

This week started out with another new shaving cream I've been interested in using - Caswell Massey ROS (rose) brushless. I didn't use much cream as I applied it with my fingertips, and the 3 day Monday morning routine beard was easily removed with the General razor and Schick Proline blade. The ros...

Re: Frivolous ADA Lawsuits

Really good news, but one minor detail, with prejudice means the case can not be re-filed. Without prejudice means it can be. (I hope that was just a scrivenor's error.)

Re: SOTD May 8 - 14, 2023

Friday's shave features a new (to me) soap - Asylum Levante from BullGoose. Nice hard shaving soap, easy to lather which didn't dissipate and the fragrance is pleasant. The residual slickness that comes with a splash of water following the first pass was well done. The shave was up to my expectation...

Re: Shaving soap or cream of the day

Kudos to Asylum Flying Mango shave soap. This lather is a super-performer. Incidentally, it fits perfectly in my Mitchell's Wool Fat ceramic bowl. I regret not using this soap much earlier.

Re: SOTD May 1 - May 7, 2023

This morning's shave was delightful due to the new soap I recently bought from BullGoose, called Asylum Flying Mango soap. Made in Italy. I highly recommend it. This soap has a pleasant fragrance, and provides a protective lather that doesn't fade away during the shave. I'll be looking forward to us...

Monday morning - First time I've ever owned or used a tub of Kent shaving cream. It's quite nice, and I'm looking forward to using it regularly. The brush was the SilkSmoke synth, and the razor was the General. Schick Proline 30 is this month's blade, and of course, Finished it off with the Superior...

Hello Phil. I notice that "The Shave Nook" forum is no longer active. What happened?

:D PS - I've just placed an order at BullGoose for those soaps and creams I've been wanting for a while. Looking forward to using them.

Friday, already!

Re: Frivolous ADA Lawsuits

From what I've seen so far it appears to be someone in the shaving goods and services market who wants to chase the competition out of town so they can scoop up the business. Otherwise they would be going after each and every website anywhere and everywhere in the realm of the ADA. If they're sincer...

Re: SOTD April 17 - April 23, 2023

Came across a new tub of Caswell Massey Almond brushless shaving cream a while back. Brushless in the sense that any effort to use a brush is absolutely fruitless and frustrating. Just use your fingers and enjoy the shave. The fragrance is great, the cream is slick, and the results - in my opinion -...

One may presume that the plaintiffs and/ or their advocates have carefully chosen their venue beforehand based on the voter politics and judicial leanings of the current appointees who may influence the outcomes. We shouldn't get our hopes up.
