I am looking to purchase some MWF and was wondering if anyone would send me a PM recommending a vendor (best price) to purchase from. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Something tells me JWW and a couple others are twitching with excitement at reading this. I'm almost afraid to tell them it will probably be the next puck I purchase.

I normally buy directly from Mitchell's when I visit the UK. Carbolic Soap.com is a reliable vendor. Or - you can look for some Kent soap on eBay - it's the same product.

I buy most of mine from Connaught Shaving. Mistry's Pharmacy is another good place to purchase it from, under the Kent brand.

Yes i agree both are good sites to get MWF if not Ebay

My UK source for MWF has been Shaving-Shack.com, stateside Bullgoose Shaving has some pretty competative prices. Great stuff, if it does not work for you right away give it a little time.

Shaving-Shack is where I stock piled enough for a couple lifetimes...

Kent is the same and cheaper, since price was mentioned.

Phil@ Bullgoose also sells a aluminum tin with threaded cap for $2.50 which is a perfect fit for the WMF puck ( $13 last check.) Mine is somewhere on a bicycle tonight.

Blasphemy -- nothing short of the revered porcelain dish will do to house my MWF

JWW, shortly after the Northridge earthquake curator's wax apeared in the hardware stores. It's a sticky, but removable material to secure valuable items onto shelves. Given how much that MWF container costs and it's dislike of high velocity test drops I went with aluminum. Lathering in a container glued to the counter is difficult at best

Wendell should be happy to know that I've ordered a puck of MWF as part of a recent order that I made. It's been over a year since I've used the Fat, I think. It's porcelain dish has been housing a puck of Tabac. But soon it's contents will once again house the mysterious and controversial Fat.

You will I hope Andrew be satisfied with MWF. Mine has been in my spare Tabac bowl. Tabac and MWF pucks are the same size. Never mind what Wendell told about blasphemy hehe

It is a bit funny to face lather MWF. I use a well shaken brush to load my brush like half minute or more and when I first apply it to my face the results don't look so promising. It looks bubbly etc. and not as nice as say from Tabac straight from the shaken loaded brush.

But when I dip my brush to sink and repeat it builds to a very fine lather. It does not need much water, but some yes to build a good very protecting lather that I like very much from MWF.

I have soft water so if you have hard water it might be not as marvellious as it is to me.

Somewhere on a bicycle tonight ?

Pray tell dear chap,....what in the world is your MWF doing on a bicycle ?

(I have a feeling i'm going to be sorry for asking this ...... perhaps I
should switch back to using water instead of Dom Perignon to make my shaving cream lather).

Dismissed.

It was given in christian charity to a member of another peerage of the road, aka hoboes in north america and tinkers in the british isles. Then in like charity a forum member sent me another MWF puck and I donated the cost to a haitian relief fund of impeccable reputation.

In truth If you've read Flann O'Brian's The Third Policeman or JRR Tolkien's account of the Ents we are all in danger of changing into bicycles or trees or even< GASP > Californians.
Today was the veneration of the cross and a member of the congregation was siezed in a violent coughing spell. Our priest didn't miss a word in his sermon, but grabbed a container of Holy Water and helped her drink it.
later she said the burning charcoal got to her. Several people admitted to watching 1000 ways to die on SPIKE T.V. the previous day. In this one, 4 people in the nearby community of Tarzana CA (named after the writer of the Tarzan books who lived nearby) tried a pagan exorcism on a Goth Girl. They were burning incense on charcoal inside a tent covering the pentagram. They all succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning except the goth, she being bound on the floor near fresh air. I am almost ashamed to admit I went to college with the 'high priestess' who was jealous of my knowledge of the gaelic.
In a culture embracing aromatherapy, reality shows and earthquake kits relabled tsunami kits to invigorate sales MWF is both a delightfully humble, yet marvelous product of inate worth when so much is junk and mere fad.
I need to buy some more, maybe carry a piece in my pocket like a worry stone when bicycles leaning against walls ask for spare change or who I'm supporting for Governor.
