You were recommending someone do this to a new tub, not an old one that they were trying to resurrect.

Thank you, @Randy, for spreading the news, I would have missed that.
I'm happy that B&M soaps are coming back soon. These are my favorite soaps, and unfortunately I have run out of all of them by now. Really looking forward to the restock. Hopefully they will become available in Sweden as fast as in other locations.

There is SECRET SWEET SPOT for each Soap, Cream, or Croap, the WATER to Soap Ratio to make good useable Lather. Not SOUPY SALE LATHER that is a joke. JMHO

I think we have some months ahead of us until we can see stuff being restocked. Usually the importer/distributor makes a huge order that takes time to fulfill and then shipping it to europe, by boat and takes forever, my bet is Summer. Hopefully I’m wrong.
I'm afraid you might be correct. Perhaps it's a good opportunity to explore other soaps then.

If you don’t mind a softer soap give Grooming Cult a try (Orion formula), also a top tier soap for me, they’re from Greece.

Oh my mistake then. I didn't explain. Always meant for old puck that is used and sitting.

Ultima is a great one

That's what I do too.
Mo's soaps behave a bit differently than others. If you bloom them, they tend to shrink and become harder too.
With that said, bloomed Chypre D'Ananas even when it was new. It wasn't loading properly.

They went the opposite way, turned to syrup.
He totally ignored me and going by recent events I now believe they weren’t fully cured.

Yes, syrup too some of them.
Mo's is a special personality. Top soaps, but....

I have only used one B&M soap with the Glissant base. I hated it and have never tried any of the newer bases which are likely much better. Stirling is a brand I have never used. Both brands are well received but MdC is the only brand I have used at home for almost 1,500 shaves. Other soaps from prior to discovering MdC are used for travel and away from home.
That being said, B&M Omnibus and Stirring soaps all seem to be highly regarded with none of the fake reviews another manufacturer is famous for. I hope this becomes a successful long-term partnership and everything B&M means to the family that created it is preserved.
Good luck for both of the venture partners.

Stirling Shave soaps were my first dive into Artisan Shave soap one year ago now. Rod and Mandy’s soaps literally changed how I feel about shaving. I have a significant inventory of Stirling Shave soaps, bath soaps, and shampoos sealed in vacuum food storage bags. I have had numerous email exchanges with Rod. He is a true gentleman and professional Artisan soap maker. I currently have three tubs of B&M soaps in my den and I truly enjoy them too. I am confident that Stirling taking over the manufacturing of B&M soaps will be good for both Stirling and B&M! Buy them both and enjoy two fantastic Artisan soap makers.
