Seems like quite a few of the good ones are calling it a day...
Thanks for the heads up though:)
I'm sure gonna miss Domenico Caraceni and Xpec as well.
Is this the shave soap in a ceramic jar with a cork stopper? If so, this is a shame, I rather like this soap.
another sad day in the wet shaving community! First the cream moved production and now this!!! A moment of silence for the passing of this soap. Glad I have mine already. It should last quite a long time. I will shed a tear for you Obie!

It's a really nice soap and I looove the scent, but I'll cope, the one I got will last for years as it's only used now and then. That's the upside to having a healthy rotation of soaps and creams :)
Agreed. While it is not MDC(who is?), or TOBS(any), I do like this soap in the wood bowl. Not a heavy scent either but just a good solid performer.Quote:

I guess this could be possible when some members of the foroafeitado.com spanish forum told me that the shaving soap was sold out at the Manantiales shop in Spain, almost one month ago
I talked last Thursday with Marta Pérez Dominguez, the woman who manages the La Toja Museum and the Manantiales shop. She had not the ability to keep the products alive in production, the decision is taken by a person in the Marketing Department of Henkel España, the spanish part of the Henkel group.
We only can ask Henkel to make the manantiales soap again
This is the link for the messages:
Formulario - Henkel
And this is an example of text in spanish
Estimados señores. Han descontinuado su producto más prestigioso, el jabón de afeitar "Manantiales de la Toja", espero que reconsideren la decisión, este producto tiene gran popularidad...No merece ser retirado, y menos ahora que el afeitado tradicional vuelve a ser una tendencia. Su producto está considerado uno de los mejores del mundo creo que retirándolo no aciertan.
Por favor vuelvan a fabricarlo .
Saludos cordiales
In english:
Dear Sir. You have retired your better known product, the "Manantiales de la Toja" shaving soap, I hope you rethink this decision, this product has become very popular. It don't deserve to be retired, furthermore at the moment when the wetshaving is rising . Your product is considered one of the best in the world, I think that putting it out of the market you are not right. Please give it a chance an restart the production.
I'm sad because the manantiales bowl was made in Spain with more mineral salts and the formula was an old recipe of the shavestick. The stick is made in a Henkel factory in Eastern Europe (Slovakia or Poland).
Finally Henkel has answered me in facebook
Han descontinuado... | Facebook
definitively no more soap of "Manantiales de la Toja"

The Manantiales used and old formula of the stick. The latherability of the stick is the same, the scent is powerful in the stick. Maybe the Manantiales provides better glide, and light the mild scent, is classyQuote:

the la toja stick is my first proper shave soap and I really enjoyed it so hopefully that will stay in production.
That is a shame. I always wanted to try it, but I don't have an interest in trying out a consumable that is out of production, so, now, I guess that I never will.
