Tallow 8923 perfection.
Agreed, MWF likes a heavy load with a barely damp brush and lots of building before much water is added, in my experience.I made a rule that I wouldn’t buy any more soaps or creams until I finished one, but I decided to break that rule when I found myself looking at a shelf that had three remaining pucks of tallow MFW in the ceramic dish. I’m looking forward to trying this soap for the first time.
I think it's interesting that the reformulation has already been reformulated.

Yes, even the makers knew that something was wrong.I think it's interesting that the reformulation has already been reformulated.

I find it usually takes between about 18 months and upwards of several years, for the average member to get over the travesty of tallow removal from a classic soap.Can I just say how much I enjoy the fact that this thread is still cooking nearly a year later? Real dedication.
I've lost track of the conversation after 86 pages of replies over the months, so apologies if this was already addressed - did we ever find out if they gave an official excuse for removing the tallow? Was it to appease the vegan religion, or cost, or adequate supply, or... ?
That is what I thought but I do not understand why there is apparently still a ready availability of tallow to produce hand and bath soaps, including apparently by Mitchell's. Seemingly it is only shave soaps for which tallow is severly limited or prohibitively expensive.I think the working theory is that tallow availability for soapmaking is limited due the demand for manufacturing aviation biofuels.
Surely if soap-makers read the B&B forums after all that's been written about Arko they'd have learned to produce a soap that doesn't smell like a urinal puck!Surely, MWF reads the forums. MWF could learn a lot from some of the artisan makers. Hint.
Nicely said. Possibly why they reformulated the reformulation.I miss the scent and performance of the the original. MWF has a real following, brand loyalty, location, all the things a business works years to build. The new formulation was performed poorly enough to make me angry.

Dear MWF, we are counting on you to sort this out properly.
