Musgo Soap
The latest order from Phil@ Bullgoose included a suprise bar of this most splendid product.
My 85 year old mother has a lower leg skin condition that multiple topicals and various soaps have failed to improve.
3 showers and there is a VISIBLE improvement, and greater comfort.
I feel like a dummy. I spend time on this site and Phil's in tunnel vision shave mode. The people who make superior shaving products also make superior body and hair products as well.
The musgo ( I managed a hand wash first) gives agreat lather with a pleasing scent and feel. It easilly washes off too.
I have a bag of unopened soaps going to the homeless shelter.

But the Claus Porto still is not all that bad, not at all. I am finishing up a bar of the Vetyver and when done, have to choose between a Caswell Massey Sandalwood (finally found a soap at Marshalls, 3 for $6.99) and a Vinolia, old formula!!bernards66 wrote:David, No, unfortunately not....unless you luck into an older cake lying around on some vendor's shelf. Claus Porto, Bronnley, C&E, and a whole lot of others were also better when they were still tallow based.

I'm not familiar with what these soaps were like when they were tallow based but I'm sure they were fantastic. I, too, feel annoyed about the whole 'non tallow' movement when I think about it. As if palm oil based soaps are more eco friendly Ever seen a picture of the deforestation due to palm oil plantations?

The whole thing STILL annoys the hell out of me when I think about it.

Any new comments? Found a place that has a deal on 4 cakes, less than $15 shipped combined.

I'm very fond of Musgo bath soap and have been a semi-regular user for some years. I experienced no noticeable difference in the tallow-based and vegetable-based versions. I can write the same about several other bath soaps I've used. There are times when I feel like some sort of soap barbarian because of my inability to make a distinction based on the use or non-use of tallow. I'm pretty much the same when it comes to lanolin, also.

I'd say go for it. I pick up a bar every so often, and I'm currently using a bar of it right now. It's a good enough deal that I would do it. I pick mine up by me for I think $6 a bar. Like Nelson I haven't really noticed a difference in performance over the reformulations. That could be though because I never used an older version of one of the changed bars.
