Mitchell's Wool Fat that is! I decided to try a head shave with it first, and I also decided not to use any special techniques or tricks. I wanted to see what happened if I just went for it. I soaked the puck in warm water for only about 30 seconds. Let my Duke 2 soak for about the same amount of time. About 30 seconds of loading then straight to my wet head. The lather was pretty thin and dry so I swiped my brush under the running water every so slightly and then started lathering on my head again. About 15 seconds later I looked like a damn Snow Man! What an awesome lather! It ended up being very easy for me. I guess the water here is just right, or I got lucky. The shave was slick AND cushiony. I also found out I am not allergic to Lanolin. It made my head soooo soft! Can't wait to try it on the face!
