Calling All ‘Fat’ Fans…

[The Geordie Shaver]

Generally the batch number appears by the ingredients list. Is there one on your new box?

No nothing , either on the ingredients list on the box or on the sticky label on the puck itself, the only id is this barcode .

I remember now, Blademonkey Paul had such a box recently as well. He said that one lathered beautifully btw.

Why doesn't someone merely call the co. and query them? Offer to send in your dud puck/cake and have then replace it (if they will). As a note, no co. likes bad publicity so perhaps it would aid to point out this thread.

I’ve been following this thread for awhile and thought I’d better open up a couple of packages I received in the latter part of last year .
I was in no rush to open them up , I still have a lot of mileage left in my current puck of MWF but seeing this good / bad batch number business I thought I’d better take a look .
Number one box was from Kent , three pucks in total , one in their wooden bowl , all batch number 9139 .

Number two box was from a vendor whose name I can not remember , this is the MWF box , it also contains three pucks , one in the ceramic bowl .
Here’s the problem , I can’t see a batch number anywhere , all I see is some sort of barcode , please see picture.
Has the batch number identification method been changed ?View attachment 100519

It may be on the inside of one of the flaps of the box

The same as my last MWF, and it turned out to be a good one.



Paul..

When this is sorted I will probably buy some more MWF/Kent. I am actually really enjoying using it. Great performance and no need to plan matching fragrances

Okay so I'm confused is the Kent shaving soap same as Mitchell's wool fat?

Same soap, different labels.

I must admit that I’ve never really been one for chasing Artisan made shaving soaps , I’m quite settled with my MWF/Kent collection and my stash of tallow Tabac , that’s going to keep me going for several years .

I've tried a few artisan soaps. I've found I prefer the more mainstream soaps. The last much longer per puck / tub as well.

Well....1 more shave and I will be half way there!

MWF is inbound... You lot have worn me down.

I shall report back in due course.

I am thinking about joining the Order of the Fat for the remainder of this month.
My recent soap samples have all been tried once and I started on Hampshire Wool Fat no. 1 yesterday, so I could continue it for the rest of the month and justifiably say I used it for the majority of the month.

When it arrives and you've tried it, pop your summary into the Virginia Woolfat thread, will you? Depending what you buy, the batch number might be on the box, so take note before chucking it on the the fire.

Who's afraid of Virginia Woolfat?

You know the soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat It's the best soap in the world bar none producing a yogurt thick lather and unrivalled post-shave feel ... and equally the most unlatherable soap in existance. Of late, there have been complaints (yeah, continued complaints) of the soap producing poor...
