The only soap I've ever done that with was my first puck of MWF, and it pretty much stopped lathering and I threw it out. I bought a new puck and had no problems.

Perhaps something in my water did something to it.

depends on your rotation. if you're using a puck of MWF for your daily shave i would expect it to last at least 3 months.

Alternating mine with several other top performers, I think my MWF puck is going to last about a year, at the very least, maybe two.

You all didn't think I would ignore this post -- even with my lower activity of late?

WMF is the must try for any wet shaver. It's legendary, marvelous, incredible,....... I can go on for days, and days singing its praises .....

Just making up for my absence.

I have the dark oak bowl; it is very high quality and looks great. I've used about 75% of the original puck I purchased with it and aside from a little dried lather it looks brand new.

I purchased MWF on the high recommendations found on this site. The only other products I've used was Proraso and eShave. MWF is an amazing product with a mild, masculine scent and a very nice lather. Everyone is right when they say it's a must-try.

i must say that i couldn't see any difference between mwf and tabac. however, i love the scent of tabac.. even so,,,nothing i've found can lubricate like kell's original. that stuff is in a league by itself. i can increase the setting on my futur 1.5 more than with anyother soap or cream.

Aren't MWF and Kent the same thing?

Yes -- Mitchell's produce OEM versions of woolfat for Kent as well as The Rose & Co. Apothecary located in West Yorkshire (main store in Leeds & period store in the main tourist area of Howarth). They probably OEM it for other companies as well, but I haven't found any.
