Wool Fat Shaving Soap

Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap was first produced in the early 1930's by Bradford chemist Fred Mitchell who realized that the natural lanolin content of wool fat, which kept the hands of local sheep shearers and wool sorters so exceptionally soft, could also be beneficial to delicate complexions and sensitive skins. A simple and natural product, this soap is still made to Mr. Mitchell's original formula, based on a recipe from the turn of the century and incorporating lanolin from the wool fat as the key ingredient. The business, Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap Ltd, takes its name from its signature product and is still producing quality soaps and shampoos in Bradford, England over 80 years later.

In 2023 there were some formulation changes to Mitchell�s Shaving Soap required due to a change in ingredient availability. This new formulation continues to maintain the high quality product our customers expect from Mitchell's. The original formulation with a soap noodle base containing tallow is no longer being produced.
