Last nights shave I used Haslinger Aloe Vera soap. This is the first time I used Haslinger soap. It makes a nice rich lather in no time at all. This is a great performer. I may have to try another scent. If you have been thinking about trying it, go ahead. You won't be sorry.
First time using Haslinger soap.

Glad you liked it! It's my hometown soap.
Just to be clear about something, because I see it a lot, Haslinger doesn't do "scents". The shaving soaps are distinguished by a "special" ingridient, in your case Aloe Vera.

Very nice soap indeed.
Haslinger has been making soaps since the mid-19th century! Simply excellent products IMHO!!
I have tried their Ringelblume - marigold soap. It's a great soap.
In the beginning, I found it difficult to have the right lather, but after adding more water than a cream soap (due to my lack of experience with hard soaps) the results were excellent.

I have a bunch of the older tallow pucks and I think I need to get one out. It's been years since I've had a Haslinger shave. I just hope the new soap recipe is as good as the old one.
Haslinger can be used to make some awesome shave sticks, BTW! I have Schafmilch and Ringelblumen shave sticks in those twist-up containers, they are great to shave with.
Haslinger is easily one of the finest soaps on the market. In any price-point.
I love Haslinger. I really want to try the non-tallow 2.0. phenomenal stuff
I've used Schafmilch several times in the past and it is a great soap.... I may be due for a new puck... the last one got folded into a tub of remnants with other near-empty tubs. (and i have to say that the hybrid tub of all those scraps is a pretty stinking good perfomer! )
)
Thanks for the review, I've never tried it but have a puck waiting in the cupboard, excited!

I was thinking about making a stick out of it. I prefer using a stick to all else. If I'm in a hurry I use a cream but my first choice for making lather is always a stick. Right now I'm out of empty tubes so I have to buy some. What I hate is the tube cost about $2.00 then it cost $5.00 to mail it.

Absolutely + 10000000000
How do you make your Haslinger shave sticks? I must try this.

I slice up part of a puck with a sharp knife, spray the slices with a bit of warm water, then pack them into a tube. The soap pieces merge together into the new shape. You can also use a cheese grater to create a pile of soap shavings and do something similar with the shavings. I find using thin slices is faster and less messy than grating

I just slice mine and stuff them in the tube. I don't spray them or do anything else. Works fine.
I haven't tried the new formula but I hear it's still great. I love the old formula, one of the best soaps out there.
