Thanks for the input. I love their old soap base, so I'm sure I'll love this new one if it is an improvement.I have not tried the final formulation, but I tested some of the earlier developmental formulas. One of the four formulas I tester had performance similar to the current offerings from A&E, B&M, DG, GD M&M, WK and ZM.... elite performers all. Even the less capable formulas still represented an improvement to the old CF base. Thus, Silk Tallow should be great soap. I am just waiting for some additional scents to be released.
