  Exotic setup you’ve got there! Meißner Tremonia is a new name to me.

    I got it a few years ago from sgrdddy. Looking around, I don’t know if anyone distributes it in the US anymore. As far as soap bases go it’s not very artisinal but I like the lather I get from it.

      I found the soap finicky to lather, but I still very much like their Indian Flavour scent. I don’t know whether I would buy it again, though.

        They indeed did stop producing shaving soap and also their shaving paste (harder creams) are on clearance sale now. Unfortunate…

    Meißner Tremonia is a german artisan. While their “Strong ‘n’ Scottish” soap smells awful to me, they also licensed their “Triple Menthol” for a harder croap/shaving paste to another german cosmetics brand, Jean & Len. It’s really good but the cooling effect is strong with this one. I also had a sample of “Wild Oranges” which I also own in hand & body soap format. That’s definitely one of their best scents, a dark citrus blend of bitter, blood and sweet oranges. Unfortunately they don’t make shaving products anymore except aftershaves, nowadays they focus on beard care products and hand/body soap only…
