Did I make 2 mistakes?

I was reading so many good things on MWF soaps... I had an order being put together anyways for other stuff so I figured I would add a MWF to it... I had 2 options from the site i was ordering they were: http://www.fendrihan.com/mitchells-wool-luxury-shaving-soap-refill-p-1630.html?cPath=116_2_32 & http://www.fendrihan.com/kent-mitchells-wool-shaving-soap-p-27.html?cPath=116_2_32

I purchased the second one as there was 10 positive reviews but not sure if the Kent is the one everyone is talking about here.. Also, just watched a video that says the MWF is not as recommended for oily skin. I have very oily skin and prone to ingrown hairs... Should I try to change my order before it is shipped?

It is the same soap.

1. Those are identical soaps, simply sporting different branding.
2. YMMV - only one way to find out if this soap will work for your exact skin. I'm pretty greasy myself and have had no issues with it at all.

Bonus tip - One of the best MWF newbie tips I've seen is to rub the puck on your wet face like a shave stick and build lather from there... this is a great way to experience the excellent creamy lather MWF is capable of providing.
Once you've experienced the right lather, you'll know what you're shooting for while working out your kinks with normal loading.

Best of luck!

As mentioned it is the same soap. I have MWF.

Making a mistake buying MWF lol? Sir that's like saying you made a mistake buying a Benz. Enjoy the luxurious shave with it. What an amazing soap.

Yep, Kent is MWF in their own packaging. I too have a very oily skin and have no problem with it whatsoever. Enjoy one of the best shaving soaps we have to offer(there aren't many left now, unfortunately!)

It's the same soap. Don't worry about oily skin etc, MWF is awesome...if you can get it to work...it took me some time to sort out the lather and I am glad I did not give up!
