    If I saw right they only accept wire transfers. That to me is a killer.

    Pretty typical of German business's I have dealt with, wire transfers.
    I have a German friend here in the UK that sorts that out for me with his German bank account

    They do not. They accept PayPal.

    Bollocks, jaycey. As you can see in the picture above, they do accept PayPal.

    Golly, I feel like a pusher already. Tell you what, if you want samples first, let me know. Their products will last for a very long time, and I do not mind losing a bit. Nelson, you want some? jaycey? Shipping is on me. Next in line gets another free sample. Dark Limes only, because I am giving the rest to friends (1) and family (2).

    That's odd, when I checked the site I didn't see paypal. As a matter of fact for overseas you have to go through this long winded process of selection and then they send you an email which only mentions their bank and says nothing about paypal.

    I know I shouldn't have taken Spanish as a foreign language.

    Nobody expects a Spanish customer... In my opinion.

    On a more serious note, I logged in with my local (ie German) credentials. It should not make a difference, but then again, who understands modern software. You can either persevere, or I can call them tomorrow and see if anything can be done about this. Probably, the easiest thing for them to do would be to find a US based retailer. In the meantime, get some Alvarez Goméz, or Esbjerg, if you have not done that already. Because they are outstanding products in their own right.

    Just a quick update. Their stuff just got even better. Because the first publicly available batch was found to be difficult to lather, Meißner Tremonia quickly reacted. The results are below (the sample is Black Beer No 1, by the way).

    I have not tried a more exciting product in years. For me, it beats Castle Forbes, which has been my benchmark since 2008.

    Hi, Robin
    Can You describe "Black Beer No.1" soap scent?
    On G+ (I'm Pierpaolo on there ) you say just It is great, but on the web description is so generic.
    Maybe you can help ...

    I just read through most of this thread and this post has left me confused.

    The first batch was difficult to lather, but does that mean that it did not produce as good of a lather or that it simply took longer to produce a good lather?
