ERASMIC soap/stick
- Thread starter map47
- Start date
The stick has been through quiet a few reformulations over the years. The non-tallow version is universally reviled around here.
For me, the old tallow version to be a decent performer and I really enjoy the scent. I have not tried the current tallow formulation
or the Supreme version.
This image is my lather from the older tallow formulation stick.
Also, here a are couple threads to check out.

I get good lather with the creams,both uk and jordanian tubes,and although I never tried the old stick,I have no problems getting good lather from the Supreme stick..
Where do you get that, xillion?
I bought the cream from either Shoebox or Bullgoose when they were closing it out about a year ago.
West Coast has the made in Jordan cream at the link below, but looking at their ingredient list it appears to be a reformulation.

Ian, if you'd like a sample from my tube just PM me, I'd be happy to send you some.
Thank you for the generous offer, but I have too many products as it is and if I did like it, then I'd have to find a place with the old formula still (The new formula has myristic high on the ingredients, which I want to avoid since I suspect it plays a role in why I dislike most creams lather).
Avoid the stick at all costs. Don't know about the "supreme" version, but the one labeled just "Erasmic" sucks....won't lather for anything and what lather you do get is thin and runny NO MATTER WHAT.
True for the non-tallow stick but both the old and the newest tallow-sticks seem to get positive reviews.
The Erasmic shave bowl suds up a treat ,smells great too .
I have 20+ soaps--MWF, etc.--but I still really enjoy the Erasmic soap (lather, scent, shave quality). For me it's an excellent budget performer. The Erasmic "Enriched Lather" stick is a bummer, even though, according to the ingredients list, tallow was returned to the formula. On the other hand, a newer "Supreme" version of the stick gets excellent reviews--I've read it works just like the soap--but as far as I can tell it's still not available from Connaught (UK) or any of the U.S. vendors.
I must have the version that was without tallow...for the same price Arko just destroys this Erasmic stick I have. I did like the smell of the Erasmic though....Might try it again in the bowl format or "Supreme" version....
The newer formula tallow stick is available here:

The bowl is available here:

I have the enriched lather formula. Tested it yesterday to remind myself. It's worse than williams, possibly much worse.
I'm pretty sure the Supreme Erasmic stick is recently discontinued.
