I was browsing for stuff today and came across a heap of Musgo Real 'flavours'. I was only aware of the green and white tube, as well as the soap. Are the range of scents a new addition to the range? Seems possible that the formula has changed; no mention of SLS etc. Are the scents in Musgo Real new (orange, spiced citrus, lavender, lime oak moss) new or have I just not found them before? Any one tried them?
Carl,
Looks like they are new. I found a link that has a good explanation of the scents. Sorry, I haven't tried any of the new ones so I can't comment on them directly.
Yeah, thought so. Do you know if the 'old' version has Sodium Laureth Sulphates etc in it? I'm staying away from them...The ingredients on these seem to be reasonably 'natural'...
carlmaloschneider,
The Musgo Real Classic 'old' version did not contain 'SLS' or preservatives.
Aqua, Potassium Stearate, Sodium Palmitate, Glycerin, Coconut Acid, Parfum, Potassium Silicate, Coconut Oil, Lanolin, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel Extract), Buxus Chinensis (Jojoba oil), Alcohol, Menthol, CI 77007, CI 19140
(CI 77007 = Ultramarine Blue
CI 19140 = tartrazine) - gives the cream its green colour.
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ
Well, what did I stop using it for, then?
It's the lanolin content that didn't agree with my face. Man, it must be like 99% pure lanolin in there!
I just bought four, three of the new scents and the original. I had no problem with Mike's natural soaps that contain lanolin, hopefully these treat my face well. MWF doesn't agree with my face, gives me tiny pimples.Quote:

OP, I apologize for taking this off topic.Quote:

Yep. Along with beeswax and almond-something.Quote:

LOL. In short, like a rabbid dog on Prozac!Quote:

For me it's easily my best soap, yes even on a par with MdC (though there is little difference between the two).
The only trouble is the scent. I couldn't get along with the GIT fragrance, so I went for the Vetiver. We've been getting along fine for three years now. No regrets :)
EDIT: I have written several reviews on this soap in the past, but with the disappearance of the reviews section here, my review (identical) is still showing on B&B and TSR forums. Some links for you:
http://badgerandblade.com/reviews/sh...ng-soap&cat=40
http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/forum/thread-626.html
The latter is the revised one which was posted on SRP but vanished along with the rest of the review's site.
Why did I open this thread? :rolleyes: The new scents sound intriguing...
Bumping to see if anyone has yet tried some of these new scents?
If not, I think I will be checking them out before too long.
I'm finding the "regular" Musgo Real works well for me, and hoping they have a similarly deft touch with other fragrances.
