Wonder how it compares to the new Musgo soap by Ach Brito ?
Ach. Brito Mogno, a new Old School classic

Here was Marco's perspective from a few days ago. Someone else (can't recall who) did a comparison review with similar conclusion. That said, the best way to find out which performs better for you is to buy both.
Musgo Real Classic and Mogno have almost everything in common: same manufacturer (Ach. Brito), same ease of latherability, a very close ingredients list. Scent profile is magnificent on both, but much different.
Musgo Real Classic is, in my opinion, ever so slightly better in terms of richness and density of lather. But again, these differences are minimal and I think many wet shavers probably would not even notice them. I say so because I know I am a perfectionist, a pernickety person and often split hairs. The true reality is that both are FANTASTIC and both are worth keeping in the den. Absolutely.
Saponificio Varesino? Just as great, but with many complex scents, beautiful tins and matching bath soaps, after shaves and colognes.
I grated my bar into a bowl a while ago, hoping the scent would wear off. I'll try it again in a few weeks!
Well, there is the cost factor:Here was Marco's perspective from a few days ago. Someone else (can't recall who) did a comparison review with similar conclusion. That said, the best way to find out which performs better for you is to buy both.
| Soap | Cost per 150g (refill) |
|---|---|
| Mogno | $6.93 |
| Musgo Real | $21.28 |
| Saponificio Varesino | $29.53 |
It's interesting the Mogno is roughly 1/3 the cost of Musgo Real and 1/4 the cost of SV.

Wowza. I've never seen the $5 Musgo shaving soap. Maybe it has the Mogno base and the Musgo scent? I wonder if they ship to the US.

That looks like regular bar soap. The Musgo shaving soap is round.

Nope. The Ach Brito Musgo linked by @Doti B is a shaving soap; I enlarged the picture (below) and it says "Sabonet de Barbear". But it's not the same as Musgo Real, which is a Claus Porto product. The Musgo that @Doti B has linked is also the only Musgo on the Ach Brito website. At $5.00, I'm keen to try it!
I believe Claus Porto is a subsidiary/brand of Ach Brito. Is Musgo Real manufactured in the Ach Brito factory and rebadged as a Claus Porto product, or does Claus Porto manufacturer Musgo Real in a separate factory? At any rate, here is a pic of the Musgo Real box with the Claus Porto branding. Below that is a link to the Claus Porto website.

They are part of the same company. Claus Porto is the luxury side of the business. The Ach. Brito name is used for more everyday stuff. Somewhat similar, but not identical products.
That's what I thought, I was just curious is there was more than one factory; my guess is that there is only one.
Has anybody tried the Ach Brito Musgo (as distinct from Claus Porto Musgo Real)? I'm guessing it's the same soap base as Mogno with a Musgo (moss) fragrance, but it's possible it's a different base. If so, that would be pretty exciting.

Ok, that's weird!
The first time I clicked on that link, it took me to a rectangular cake of Musgo, similar to the Mogno, but now it's taking me to the same round soap that I linked to
I did a bit of google-fu this morning, and found someplace that sells new Ach Brito Musgo. Fendrihan's has it for $14.00. It looks like it's out of stock at the moment. I'm sorely tempted to buy some. Does anyone know where it's possible to buy it? I can't find anyplace that will ship to a US address.

My guess is that this new Ach. Brito Musgo shaving soap has not been released or distributed to retailers yet. Maybe, our Supporting Vendor @Gifts & Care can shed some light on this?

Sir, do not worry. It will soon be available.
By the way, the one thing that I do not like about this new Musgo shaving soap is that it seems to have no box or container. The Mogno comes in a sturdy cardboard box that I use to keep the soap in after use (once dry). The Mogno box is also a very beautiful vintage style choice.
