Awesome!
I have a little bigger gap than you between the two, but Musgo is still a great cream. It's the only tube cream I use, far better than Proraso IMO (let the bashing begin) and great for travelling. I like the orange amber and oakmoss scents the best.
Glad you're enjoying it! Which scent are you using?
I have used the Oakmoss and it provided fantastic shaves.
Wanted to buy another tube recently but held off as the price has reached ridiculous levels IMO.

Using the classic scent. I would like to try some other scents eventually.

Try e-bay. I found the classic scent shipped out of Portugul for free for $14.00.
Congrats.
Good to hear. A couple years ago a vendor was having a close-out sale on Musgo cream. I picked up a tube of the classic scent for a few bucks. Its been sitting in the stash unopened. I might try and 3017 that tube later this year.
It looks like they're in-between American distributors. Once they have a new one (I assume they want one) I imagine prices will return to normal.
And I agree: it's a superior cream.
At the new prices, I'm not a buyer. I have two fairly full tubes of the Classic and Oakmoss. If the price doesn't come back down, I'm not going to replace them. Too many other properly priced creams and soaps out there.
I have forgotten what they used to be priced at when things were more reasonable.
They were already highish; IIRC, around $12-15 USD per tube at most US online shops.
Here is how much of an idiot I am. Here I am complaining about the prices of Musgo Real. I go to my Amazon account and checked the prices I paid for the two tubes I bought. One was exactly the same as it can be bought for now and the other was purchased for about $2 to $3 less. Not a catastrophic difference. I guess I don't have much reason not to buy Musgo Real products. I am willing to call myself out for claiming BS. Maybe that is why I had a nickname when I was a kid: Manny, the Man of Contradiction.
Plus, in the scheme of things, soaps and creams are relatively cheap if you work out the per-shave cost. That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.
Best cream on the market, IMHO.
I'm a big fan of the spiced citrus
I used to love the Musgo Classic cream. Now, I'm indifferent to it. I'll hang on to it and use it when I feel I should but when I finish it I'll probably forget about it.
