First shave with the fat, very nice, SLICK. This soap is easy and tuff, the lather needs to be set up with very little water. I face lather and there is a small window of not enough and too much. But with the right amount, you get a thick, slick lather. My face does feel different with this soap, I'm not sure if it's the lanolin but this soap is top notch for a great shave

still learning the fat myself. agreed it needs very little water and it is best to face lather.
Glad you like it. MWF is one of my favourite soaps.
Yes please!
Congratulations!
I actually have to use more water with Mitchell's ...ymmv.
Please ensure you use a CAPITAL F when writing of the Fat....
MWF has quickly become a favorite of mine.
Glad to hear you liked it, MWF is troublesome for some folks but it is in my top 3 soaps.
I agree with this statement. Whenever I have a bad/irritable shave, my next shave is always done with MWF - my skin feels good after a MWF shave.

I had a hard time learning how to get a good lather from teh Fat. I was to the point of concluding my hard water was the reason. I then saw a YouTube on lathering teh Fat. I wasn't using enough water. Soaking the puck in warm water has also helped tremendously.

MWF - my desert island soap for sure.
MWF likes you to keep using it, this keeps the soap hydrated and easier to use. Have a look at your puck if you don't use it regularly it will develop cracks, etc.
Try using it daily for a whole week and see how you are going getting a lather on the 7th day.

It took me a few tries to learn how to use it. But now it is my go-to soap. I use a Dirty Bird & the lather I get with that beast flows over the top. I cut down the amount I load my brush & it's still incredible. The protection & slickness make it one of the best. But it is the way my face feels later in the day that make The Fat in a class of its own. 
The fat ROCKS... love it myself

As much as I love this soap, it tends to leave my face feeling different some how. I hope I'm not getting some sort of bad reaction from it. I really love this soap but it tends to leave my face a little iratated, please tell me this will go away and my skin will adjust because it is a great shave. Is this a common thing ?
It could be the lanolin, some people do have a reaction to this ingredient.
I can definitely say MWF will always be in my rotation. I have at least 10 pucks on hand at all times.
