Is there any soap out there that is similar to the original MWF formula?
Mitchell’s Replacement?

You've been good this year, you're allowed to get something better. 
Please Note: This soap is no longer made using Tallowate.

He does.You mean the Kent that is made by Mitchell’s?
Like new, reformulated MWF.You've been good this year, you're allowed to get something better.
Yes, just saw some with tallow on the Fendrihan site if folks are still interested. I’ve not used it myself.You mean the Kent that is made by Mitchell’s?

Arko?
and it is a much better soap!!!!
Been my experience Fendrihan doesn't keep there ingredients lists up to date.
One could always inquire on current stock. They have been good at replying with inquiries I have found. Still, sometimes not a guarantee on current rotation. Worth a try?
Yes they are very good at replying to inquiries. If you really want the tallow version I would ask for a pic of the ingredients list from there current stock, not the pic they have on there website. I inquired about there robusto shave soap, was told it was tallow. Ordered the shave soap and no tallow. Last I looked on there site the robusto is still listed with tallow.
^Sound advice!
I have been looking for a replacement as well.
I really like Stirling.
Mikes Natural Soaps is another option.

You might like DR Harris; probably one of the milder scents like the Almond. Available as a plain soap refill.
There's a very similar soap called Cyril R Salter Solid with a fairly mild bergamot+lavender type scent. About half the cost of the Harris soap, when buying from Connaught in the UK.
These are traditional hard tallow soaps, but they don't have lanolin. I thought the post-shave feel was fine, though.

In my opinion, nothing comes closer to the original MWF formula than the new MWF formula.
I haven't tried this myself, but for those lamenting the loss of tallow base MWF, you ought to pick up a grooming Dept preshave jar and use the new formula with it. It might be exactly what you desire and possibly even better than the original.
Haslinger Schafmilch
I have always thought of Haslinger Schafmilch as a great stand-in for Mitchell’s Wool Fat (MWF), but it will not fit the bill for someone who is looking for an “original” (tallow) MWF replacement.
