Thread: Meißner Tremonia - Die Baderisten

Right. We are moving to Munich. Which is 700m away from where we are now. A really good friend of mine just lost her husband, and her son is 14. So I was tasked with teaching him how to shave.

And I did.

I had run out of Castle Forbes, so I went for Meißner Tremonia paste, and the rest of the line.

The pre shave soap is meant to be used as a soap. Wash, rinse, done.

I don't think face lathering from creams is a good idea. You can lather in your hand. The trick is to get the consistency right. Totally irrespective of the product. Face lathering works best with soaps.

Oh I don't know about that. I have several creams and they face lather just fine. The trick is initially selecting the correctly sized dollop of product and have a proper wetted brush (those two parameters will change with each cream). Then you just work it out on your face.

Yup, never had a problem face lathering a shave cream either. Started off in the late 1960s with a boar brush and shaving cream in a tube. Amazing what you can do when you don't know any better. Ignorance is indeed bliss in some cases.

Finally ordered some soap. I went with Natural bay rum. Any use this scent before?

Yes. It is possibly the most refined Bay Rum scent in the market. The aftershave balm is also extremely nice.

Thanks Robin.

I have used Natural bay rum 2 times now and I love it. I am not sure you will find a better soap for anywhere close to this price. I really like the glass jar it comes in as well.

Here is a very nice (German language, Google Translate link here) interview with Thomas Meißner of Meißner Tremonia: Renaissance of the soap art. Enjoy.

Has it really been 4 years since this stuff came out!?

I tried 4 samples when Meißner Tremonia first came out and was miffed when I couldn't get them to lather for love nor money. I always felt a bit left out as others sung its praises. Whether it was some of the first batches I don't know but I can now sing its praises too.
I brought a tub of Moroccan Rhassol last week and love it!
Scent wise it's all cloves with a hint of spice, perfect for the autumnal weather. The lather takes some working but is very slick and has a consistency of yogurt, it doesn't have that thick dense lather like the big name English creams have but I dare say that's because its au natural. Being natural it leaves my face feeling wonderful after the shave too.
I'm so glad I gave Meißner another chance, I will definitely try some other flavors as well.

I tried this stuff a while back. It lathered like dish soap. And my face felt like I used chalk for shave cream when it was over. Once was enough for me. Everyone’s face is different. And everyone’s water is different. I had to move on.
