Well done! Nothing like a shave with The Fat.kpf1979 wrote:Just to jump in on this thread, instead of starting one of my own. I had my first MWF shave this morning. I have to admit, I was a little concerned by the Fat’s reputation as a finicky, temperamental soap. My concerns were unfounded; I didn’t really have any trouble. I made a test lather few nights ago and it was, maybe, a bit thin, but it was probably perfectly usable. I think I didn’t load the brush quite long enough. My lather this morning was much better, and I had a very comfortable, very relaxing shave. It’s getting a place in the rotation, but I don’t know if it’s going to displace my top soaps. All in all, I am impressed with the quality of my first shave with the Fat.

It's really great stuff, but I'm allegic to lanoline. It took about 5 shaves for me to rediscover this.
I think I might be able to tolerate one shave a year with the FAT however. I'll try on my birthday in 2010.
I'm wondering when MWF is coming out with a Cologne, so Wendall can get into the fragrance world.

ok got the fat a few days ago. best shave i have had so far. waited untill i tried it a few shaves to make this opinion. left my skin feeling great.
if i didnt read up on this i dont think i would have been able to get it to lather. once i got the hang of it it works like a dream. first time i have been able to use a derby without a bit of iritation. no weepers.
had no idea these soaps worked like this. saw dirty jobs where mike rowe was working on a sheep ranch and thought of my mitchels wool fat shaving cream. go figure

I haven't been on the fat for a while as I'm trying out new stuff and giving others in the rotation a chance. The thing I've found with MWF, is that being a face latherer, its easy to over load the brush with the soap and by the third and forth pass gobs of lather is spewing out of the brush and making a big mess.
Wellcome to the fellows of Fat club sparkster.ok got the fat a few days ago. best shave i have had so far. waited untill i tried it a few shaves to make this opinion. left my skin feeling great.
I've been lately able to restrict my shaves to using just 2 passes. First XTG and WTG where that is not possible. Then second an ATG/XTG pass with some touch ups. With just as good results as with my 3 pass shaves. MWF perhaps inspired me in that, it being so protective in lather.

I've enjoyed my MWF shaves very much over the past three days. I'm thinking about staying with it for a few more. When I've been away from the fat for a while it seems to take me a couple of days to reach the peak levels of lathering again. Bad habits and such. It's definitely good for the skin, and protective. It's a good soap to have around.
