Tallow Soaps

[MntnMan62]

With MWF and Haslinger Schafmilch no longer in the tallow game, I'm wondering what people think is the new king of the tallow soaps that are reasonably available? While I never LOVED either one of those soaps by themselves, I stumbled upon a soap that has become my absolute favorite. A 50/50 combination of the two. I never cared for the scents of either yet the two combined gave me a much cleaner and fresher scent. Not sure why. And the slickness gave me the best shaves I've ever had. So, any suggestions for finding a kick a** tallow soap?

Most artisans are kick ass tallow soaps I believe.

Glycerin isn’t fat, but a component of fat. I like glycerin based soaps.

I'm already a Stirling fan. Barbershop is one of my favorites. I see a lot of great reviews of Sheep. I'm wondering if I were to mix the Sheep with Haslinger Schafmilch (tallow version) 50/50 what the sent might be like. I did that with MWF and it became my favorite soap from a slickness standpoint and the scent is just plain "clean". I wonder if I might end up with a similar result?

D.R. Harris, Captain Fawcett’s and Cyril R. Salter are firmly established in my rotation.

Barrister & Mann, Mike’s Natural, Mystic Water, Shannon’s. All top notch.

Thanks Chazt. I'm beginning to feel a software purchase bubbling up. I wish my kid was wet shaving because he's going to end up with one insane collection of shaving gear if I don't start offloading some of it. I plan to check out all of the following brands and their respective options to see if the scents will be to my liking:

Stirling
D.R. Harris
Captain Fawcett's
Cyril R. Salter
Barrister & Mann
Mike's Natural
Mystic Water
Shannon's

Hey folks. I have a curious question. As I've been checking out different soaps with tallow, I see that D.R. Harris still makes some of their soaps with tallow. A company based in London. I have to wonder why Haslinger and MWF both were forced to stop using tallow yet D.R. Harris still seems to be using it. Anyone care to fill me in? I'm not that familiar with UK and EU regulations but had heard tallow was no longer allowed to be used.

Tallow is allowed. It's just a choice made by the manufacturers not to use it.

Ok. But I've also noticed that some of Haslinger's soaps still contain tallowate. Why eliminate it from one soap and not from others?

I think it's probably old stock. Haslinger announced they were going completely vege a few years ago

Are you saying Haslinger's soaps are going backwards? back to tallow???
