Though It is not cheap, Eufros is worth it in my opinion. Rosa Bourbon and Cronos are my favorite.

Manuel's soaps, especially the tallow version, are excellent. His scents are superb and the high price of his soaps are due to the high-quality essential oils that he uses, from what he told me.
I don't find the lather to be as dense compared to a few of the Amercian tallow soaps such as Mystic Water, Mike's, GD, WK, etc., but his soaps are excellent although quite expensive to acquire here in Canada/US when factoring in the shipping, unfortunately.

Rosa Bourbon is my favorite Rose scented Soap, simply fantastic, although I still need to try Grooming Depts’s Incense and Rose. I think his Tallow Soaps are top notch, and I also really enjoy the scents of his Fougere, Sandalo, and Tobacco.

The GD Incense and Rose is fantastic, but scent-wise is completely different from the Rosa Bourbon.

I own Stirlings, Wholly Kaw, Declaration, plus assorted samples of Mickey Lee's, Chiseled Face and B&M. I have also owned the former "Premium" vegan formula of Manuel. Being strictly objective, I would say that my best soap is my Wholly Kaw, but by stretch margin. The Eufros and Declaration would come second and the Stirling a step behind them. My WK is the non-Donkey milk formula, which I will be trying soon. I have also had Mystic Waters, but not currently.

Manuel's soaps are expensive, yes. The reason behind this, according to him, is the high quality of the essential oils he uses. I never had a problem with any of his soaps regardless of how potent the scent was, and some of his soaps' scents are quite potent indeed. I can't say the same of other artisans. His "regular" Tallow soaps cost 20€ over here, plus shipping (4.90€) with some of his soaps climbing up to 24, 26 or more depending on the scents. This means that sometimes you can bring a soap from the other side of the pond for the same, or less, that it costs to bring one of his soaps... in Spain. Usually, I order two of his soaps in a row in order to make shipping costs worthwhile. Answering your question. Are they worth it?. YES, they are. Some of his scents are unique and the performance is top notch. I currently have Fougère, Dama de Noche, Edén (Foroafeitado LE 2017) and Tobacco. He is particularly good at floral scents, although his Vetiver de Haiti will be remembered for being the purest and strongest Vetiver ever. Unforgettable, and sadly discontinued. Will I be ordering more?. You bet. His new Zanzibar scent is wonderful. But I will be ordering another WK and a B&M Seville sooner than that.

Eufros is absolutely top tier and worth the effort in my opinion. I tried a JabonMan soap a few years ago and it was OK, but did not love the scent. Recently I started experimenting again and have been blown away by the quality of the scents, and performance is right up there with the other highly rated soaps. Eufros along with Wholly Kaw have given me the most enjoyable shaves over last year.

I really hope Peter can bring it back to market.

Some inside information on that?  I didn't try its first iteration.  Has he changed formula or something?  Whats new with it?
