Soooo.... Is the new formulation decent? I want to like MWF so badly, but I've bought two soaps over the years and have been so underwhelmed by them.
Is the new one worth trying?
I would say so without question!

... another couple of shaves on and I am indeed finding that the new new formulation (notice: new
new) is rising and actually, I think I'd say it has now surpassed classic MWF in my estimations given the effortless lathering. It is now considerably closer to the London triple-milled style of soap (appearing to be closest to T&H), so if you like any of those you're already there.
Be aware that some sellers might still be selling the older reformulation from last year - ensure the ingredients are as follows:
Sodium Palmate, Sodium Stearate, Potassium Stearate, Aqua (Water), Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Laurate, Potassium Laurate, Glycerin, Palm Kernal Acid, Parfum (Fragrance), Potassium Palm Kernelate, Titanium Dioxide, Lanolin, Sodium Chloride, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Gluconate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Linalool
Notice Sodium Laurate & Potassium Laurate which kinda give this set of reformulations their most noticeable feature, but also Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate replaces Pentasodium Pentatate, which was outlawed by the EU at the beginning of December 2023.
How has this changed? Well, here's MWF's reformulation ingredient list from last year:
Sodium Palmate, Potassium Palmate, Aqua, Potassium Stearate, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Cocoate, Glycerin, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Palm Kernel Acid, Parfum, Sodium Chloride, Lanolin, Titanium Dioxide, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Pentesodium Pentetate, Sodium Gluconate, Tetrasodium EDTA & Limonene
Several of us have bought the latest formulation tablets from Connaught.
