Oh this soap is getting pummeled! Long road trip for work and it’s the only one I have. Formula T is a good one for sure. Gaelic Tweed = Green Irish Tweed? Nope, but it’s nice and it shaves.
Natural Bay Rum (Meißner Tremonia) pure bay rum
Shave 14
The old soap still carries the warm scent of pimenta racemosa. It perfumes the bathroom air with a certain dry spiciness, while litsea’s citrusy edge adds a bright note. The Jamaican rum has faded into the background, but it's still sweet and smells like caramel. The lather smells nice. I think this is one of my top two bay rums.
I’ve been wondering why these Meißner Tremonia soaps work so well for me. I think it’s the clay. This Natural Bay Rum is fortified with two clays, white and brown. The lather may be frothy, but the dirt gives me all the cushion I need for a comfortable shave.

I really enjoy Meißner Tremonia. Even though their lather is odd, I always get a good shave.(05-05-2024, 03:40 AM)Bouki Wrote: Natural Bay Rum (Meißner Tremonia) pure bay rumHey Bouki, do you know who is selling the MT these days?
