Thread: The German Soaps

I've read somewhere that Muehle-Pinsel are rebranded Edwin Jagger, or was it the other way around, does anybody know is this is true?

I think it may be the other way around. By the way, Bjorn, which soaps are available in Norway?

The lather is right up there with pre-reformulation Penhaligons. The scent is very light, a bit of lavender and bergamot. But the lather is wonderful.

Just wanted to give loudee a shout-out for single handedly energizing the soaps section of SRP!

Thanks. I've been disappointed in soaps as a whole, but haven't tried a lot of them. This thread gives me some good things to check out.

There's a couple of web shops here, which has a decent selection of the higher end soaps, more interesting is IMHO our own soapmaker Fitjar soap , I havn't tried her soaps and creams yet, but as soon as I "need/want" another soap/cream, I'll get a couple of hers just to see what they're like, reports I've heard says they are good.

Stay tuned for more BeBerlin soap reviews. Next in line: Die Seifen des perfiden Albion.

I loled! I have been living in Germany for the last year and a half and think that this describes many of my German friends to a T. German soaps probably come with a long list of rules that must be followed!

Thanks, so much, Bjorn. I am very interested now in trying a couple of her soaps as well.
