I have used the Fat recently. Had about the same results lathering as did you. I don't regret the purchase. As an enthusiast of wet shaving, I'm often wondering what else I should try. Tomorrow will be the Fine Bay Rum. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for this, Jon! I was sitting on the fence for months but finally bought "The Fat" along with the ceramic tub after this video. I just love it and have been using it frequently. I find it lathers best with my Omega boar brush. I've actually been using it more than my other soaps! It just feels like I'm doing something nice for my skin.
For the cost that it's sold for in the US, there are probably better options; however, if you're in the UK you can get a puck for less than $10 or ~10CAD from Connaught if you are in Canada. At that price, it's the best quality budget option on the market. As slick as any artisan soap and with a decent post-shave, it's also a long lasting hard puck.
The MWF sells for US$17 and the jar itself is ridiculously expensive! With the jar it comes to US$48. But for the quality of that jar it should be couple dollars at the most.
Excellent shave, I do enjoy the Fat. I have been lucky enough to not to have had an issue with lathering it. We have good water here in Scotland at least in Perth. Have a great week. Very best regards Gordon 👍
There is an original tallow Williams that I was lucky enough to score. It competes with the finest artisan soaps. It has to be carefully grated and reconstituted but the effort is so worth it.
Ahh ... The Fat ... great demonstration. To keep The Fat budget friendly I just have the MWF refill puck in a plastic tub. Also I lather all my soaps up in a lathering bowl, so what I do is slice a small piece of soap off the MWF puck (about 2g), press the sample into my lather bowl and build lather from there starting with a damp brush, this method also eliminates the jar lather mess.👍🤠🤟
I love the Fat. It takes a lot of water to make it creamy. I also grate it on a cheese grater and smash it back in the jar. Remixes it all. I do store it in a small Tupperware container because it dries out quickly if not used regularly. It love to stay hydrated.
Ive definitely heard that using a cheese grater is a common practice for fans of the Fat, but for me, it worked perfect fine as is! Thanks for watching William!
Nice shave and I’ve thought about The Fat as well, but I’m also at a point where I enjoy the ones I have. As for the A/S, I’m so disappointed that Lavender Pour Homme was discontinued.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with the Fat!
The flat bottom tech inspired the Karve Christopher Bradley! Haven't used one, but fun fact 😂
I didn’t know that!
I use MFW but Arko, Tabac, and Pre De Provence 63 are on par with it except that the other 3 shave soaps are scented.

You love the Fat and the Fat loves you! So glad to hear you gave it a try and that it was a winner!

I believe I saw it in Barcelona for $8 or less Euros, wish I could recall the shop.
Is there a Connaught Canada site? I’d love to order some Mitchell’s!
@@Bigdhoss order from their UK store. It should be ~10CAD shipped to Ontario, depending on the conversion rate of GBP at the time.
@@D4PPZ456 thanks. They show a VAT charge of about as much as the product costs. Do they charge that too or no?
@@Bigdhoss VAT is for UK customers. Just take it to checkout alone and see what the total is.
EDIT: they are out of stock atm.

Great shave. I'm much more of a traditional soap man so I L❤️❤️E the Fat! Your vintage English flat bottom tech looks fantastic. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
It's definitely amongst the best as far as classics go, thanks for watching Peter!

Thank you for watching Gordon!
Been in this hobby for two years now and still haven't tried it lol. Great vid Jon.
You should!
@@Latherhog one to add to the Christmas list hah

Congratulations on that pick up Patrick, enjoy that vintage Williams ;)
Great video Jon! I don’t use my MWF enough…such great post shave feel from it, and a puck lasts a long time! 🙌🙌🙌
I know you love a good scent John, so totally understandable MWF might not make it into the rotation as often!

Thanks for watching and also sharing your method! Going with the refill puck is definitely a great way to make MWF a bit more budget friendly.

Really like to watch your content . Have a great day
Thank you for the honest info
Hi between Stirling, cella and wool fat which one is slicker? I have sensitive skin, prefer a shiny lather not dry thanks
The Fat by far
@@trevorsteele2443 thanks
You'd be fine with either Stirling or the Fat!
Yes! A fine bit of North England engineering.
Nice shave and I’ve thought about The Fat as well, but I’m also at a point where I enjoy the ones I have. As for the A/S, I’m so disappointed that Lavender Pour Homme was discontinued.
Thanks for watching Mike! Maybe one day you'll be tempted to try the Fat, but in the meantime, keep on enjoying the soaps you already own!
Looks interesting!
If you want a better scented version of Mitchell's Wool Fat try Kent Luxury Shaving Soap. The Fat Lives!
Thank you for the recommendation!
Yeah English names confuse foreigners hahaha. Many city names in your state originate from here as you probably know. :)
Yes, plenty of those here in Massachusetts :)
It’s no Williams soap, that’s for sure. I Like MWF a lot.
