I suggest that you stock some Valobra stick as well, because it has tallow and if I am not wrong brought by another company that makes tallow free soaps and in my opinion, in the very near future they may seize the production.Recently we have seen the demise of some great tallowate and cocoate soaps
As yet none, although I have two jealously-guarded Irish Moos sticks and a small stock of Palmolive. If there's ever a rumour of Speick being discontinued I'll be bulk-buying that though.
Why this adoration of tallow! I find them more difficult to lather consistently, clogs sink. Tallow versions of Haslinger are not nearly as good as their new versions. Some of the best soaps and creams have no tallow, SV, castle Forbes, etc. Love of tallow baffles me, and dont you guys with dozens of the same soap not get bored with them?! The joy of shaving is exploring the great variety of wonderful soaps and creams.
No offence, but just saying.
Agree with you Roy, Tallow was never used because it was the best ingredient , it was just a cheap by product.Why this adoration of tallow!

All good points. I've never understood what appears to be a moral panic when it's learned that soaps are to be reformulated without tallow. Will there really be a drop in quality; or is it merely psychosomatic? On a blind test between tallow and non-tallow soaps, would we really notice the difference?...fortunately their is enough variety in soaps for shavers to indulge their own preferences and likes, wether they want to avoid palm oil soaps to protect primates; only use veggie soaps; use only tallow soaps or enjoy soaps based on performance only, the choice is available to us all. Some members have had the time to use many different soap bases and know what their preferences are and what is best for them whilst others are still exploring....
