Ach. Brito Mogno, a new Old School classic

[Marco]

Haslinger v2? First tallow, then changed to no tallow. Does this mean there's yet another change to it?!!

Yes Sir, there's another change. The Haslinger V2 is the second version of their vegetable based formula for shaving soaps. This version has now coconut oil in place of the previously used palm oil and this should provide an even better lather, in terms of creaminess and overall performance. At least this is what I've read. Let's see.

Sounds like a similar formula to the "Sensativ" version they released earlier. People who tried it said they liked the lather and performance.

All new Haslinger soaps have the latest "Sensitiv" base formula.

Another soap I have yet to try but with so many in the den need to use stuff up first

The reason why I intentionally mentioned Haslinger in this thread is because Haslinger, just like Ach. Brito, makes EXCELLENT quality soaps and sells them at a very low price. Also, both brands are TRUE Old School classics.

@Marco I know you like your Haslinger soaps. Personally I really disliked the V1 formula, but I love the V2. Just finished my first puck and I'm already missing it.

Is it as good as the Tallow version? I only ask because that was one of my favorites.

I have not tested it yet, Sir.

It sounds excellent. I'm fast coming to the view that some of the cheap soaps are en par with the much more expensive ones, especially as I have a poor sense of smell and cannot appreciate the scents of the various artisans.

It's called Mogno (Mahogony). I think they are trying to appeal to the more youthful customers with a different brand. It is also a lot cheaper, though the ingredients look very similar to Musgo Real hard soap. Mogno is like 4 Euros for a 90g bar. @Marco says Mogno performance is quite close to Musgo Real hard soap, which costs four times more in Europe.

There is also an Ach Brito soap called Musgo (not Musgo Real) that appears to be new, but I could be wrong about that.

It is new and I already posted the ingredient list earlier in the thread #134.
I have not tried it.

I’ve been using Mogno for about three weeks in a row. I’m coming to the conclusion it’s the best value in shaving soap. It is only one notch below the absolute best performers, and you can get it for less ten dollars a bar and it will last 4-6 months. Absolutely killer.

I too can't figure out a reason not to use it. It lasts an eternity. Performs 98% as well as a the best of them. Smells great. Super cheap.

Been using both the Musgo Real Classic and the Ach.Brito Mogno. Both excellent soaps that lather well, are nice and slick and feel very nice post-shave.

YMMV

Yes Sir, with Musgo Real Classic being ever so slightly better IMHO.

Ah I see the original post I replied to was misspelled as Musgo, thank you for clarifying my confusion. Have a puck of Mongo as well as Musgo Real and really like them both. The scent of Mongo is excellent and well blended scent.

Just a quick FYI note for my friends: the proper name of this Portuguese soap is MOGNO, not Mongo. Thanks.

I think we Americans are messing it up because of Blazing Saddles

 

[Veber]

Great soap. Foam is obtained easily and quickly, does not settle, good glide. Out of soap in brush? Just wet your brush and you will get a lot of foam. Only one small complaint is slight discomfort towards the end of the shave. It didn't burn yet, but it was a little uncomfortable. I hope this wears off

shaved again this morning with the mogno bar, great as before.
unique scent, paired well with pitralon afterwards.
