What brands are still using tallow? Musgo has completely switched over...
Thanks.

Bath soaps? Well, as far as high end ones go ( plenty of supermarket level ones are still tallow, including the quite good US made Yardley ), Vinolia, Santa Maria Novella, Valobra, Rance ( maybe ), are the ones which spring immediately to mind. I'm sure there are a few others.

I believe Mitchell's Wool Fat soap is still tallow based as well.

D.R. Harris soaps also.

Yes, those two also, and maybe Tabac, if they still offer a bath soap.

The cheap Arko shave sticks and P.160 are also tallow based.

Erik, Yes, but we're considering bath soaps here, not shave soaps.

How does the Mitchell's stack up? If I am ordering from suffolk supplies, they have a 150 g bar for like $6

It's extremely nice soap. It does have quite a bit of lanolin in it. I used it for a while and liked it very much, but decided it was too expensive to keep buying it indefinitely.

Sam, It's a superb bath soap. I'd be using it regularly ( along with the Vinolia ) if I didn't have that lanolin sensitivity issue. Great stuff.
