The Fat - yeah buddy

Still on the hunt for the ultimate bath soap, the one that makes you stop searching. Old School Vinolia would have been fine, or if they still make Floris Rose Geranium with tallow, I'd be done. So Connaught Shaving had a great deal on the Mitchell's Wool Fat soap, 6 bars for around $35 shipped from England.
Got the package, and you could smell the Fat when you opened it. Good. Took the Vinolia, newer version, that I was using as a face soap and moved it to the shower. Lathered up and washed my face last night with the Fat. That smell reminded me of soaps I used to bathe with in my formative years, and I am 53 now. Not that we had fancy soaps in my house (my grandmother did, but not my mom!) but the smell was a bit more common I suspect back then.
This stuff had a certain creaminess to it, so much like that Floris Rose Geranium soap. I can't put my finger on it, but yes, I think if blindfolded and some geisha girl rubbed you in the shower, you could tell the difference in the lather between the Fat and say a veggie product like Chagrin Valley, and most certainly with Dial. I showered with it today and loved it.
6 bars will last me a year I am guessing, and I wonder if I should pop for like 12 more. I am pleased.
