Thread: Meißner Tremonia - Die Baderisten

I just received a free sample of the Strong and Scottish paste and was blown away with the performance of this stuff,I ordered a paste and a soap,hope the soap is as slick as the paste.

Yes it is.

I've just tried a sample of Strong and Scottish. Fantastic. I only put a little on the brush to begin to see how much I'd need. Had to put a little more on until I got it right. It lathers so well. A really thick, luxurious lather. To say the smell is strong is something of an understatement. Very powerful, but I love it. Peat. Whiskey. Leather. Smokey. I got a 10ml sample and I estimate there's enough in there for me to manage about 10 or so shaves. I have a feeling this could become my favourite.

Well, I have beta versions of the Strong & Scottish aftershave "splash" and balm here. They are very nice...

I must be missing something. I ordered four samples of paste: dark limes, himalayan heights, salty sea sage and exotic emeli. Absolutely love the smells and skin benefits but cant seem to get a decent lather, never had this problem before. I have tried all manner of water ratios with my duke 3 manchurian but no luck.
Im going to order a full tub of salty sea sage as that was my favourite smell because I was really looking forward to using meissner tremonia products after all these great reviews.







.

I have three pastes that lather great but the scent is"meh" at best. The Elemi is the best of the three.

I actually find the smells quite subtle, very nice, but subtle. After all the reviews I was expecting something a lot stronger.

I'm in for Moroccan Rhassoul, Himalayan Heights, and Exotic Elemi...from the great initial review to all the support for this soap, always worth a try.

The shaving & body butter, is stated to have a variety of uses, (for shaving, post shave skin care and general skin softening-smoothing-moisturizing). I've only used as a post shave balm and work the rest into my hands and will say it's a good product for skin softening, smoothing moisturizing protection but, if your looking for something soothing post shave, you're not going to get that. Though I might purchase this again for general skin care, I would also choose the unscented (I believe they call it purist or something similar). I chose the Cedar-Cade Wood and frankly, don't like the scent...it's perhaps peaty at best...at first it reminded me of a campfire you dowsed out with water...perhaps not an accurate description but something close to it. I even asked a lady friend her opinion and it wasn't favorable.

Again, as a skin butter, great...shave balm...not what I was looking for & I will say that I am fond of the shave soap and scents...I'm not sure you can do better in that category.

hello gentleman,

A little birdie told me that there may be an ice menthol surprise under the tree this year. I had a couple of questions for the users here. Firstly, as a face latherer, can you load the paste directly in the glas bowl then go to the face for lathering? Is it a hard enough cream for that?

Secondly, how are people using the preshave soap? I am used to the preshave proraso cream which rubs into the face. Is the preshave soap designed to be used in the shower beforehand and washed off? Or applied to the face and then lathered on top of?
