Had never heard of them but picked up a puck when recently in Toulouse. Does anyone have any experience of these soaps and how do they perform
Thanks

Thiers Issard soaps. Anyone used them

I've never heard of them. Since it's a French company, is it safe to assume it's a triple milled soap? What is the scent?
You can find Thiers Issard products on the Gifts & Care website. There were no reviews last time I looked. I've been curious about them since I have a thing for French triple-milled soaps.
Scents I saw were "White Musk" and "Unscented".

Their were quite a few negative reviews on the forums a while back, but have not tried it for myself. Let us know how it goes!

Will do
I believe these are old and were melt and pour soaps much like the artisans.
I never read any good reviews and thus never tried them. I believe they have been discontinued but could be wrong.
Let us know how you like it.

Finally got round to trying today. Nice slick shave but did have to go back to the puck as it looks as though my brush required more loading than initially thought. Will persevere with this soap for the next week or so and see if it’s performance improves. 1st thoughts are not bad
How was the performance of the soap?
In another forum someone pointed that the last iteration of Thiers-Issards (hard) soaps might be made by the same company that makes Pre de Provence.

Used it again last night. Nice comfortable shave but I think I’m better off using a synthetic brush with it and bowl lather rather than load with a Badger and face lather. I will do some digging to find out if it is made by the same people that make PDP
They probably are made by La Maison du Savon de Marseille.
As far as I can see (credit to users in ATG shaving forum) La Maison du Savon de Marseille has argan oil instead of Shea Butter (PdP) and the Thiers-Issard soaps seem to have Sweet Almond oil, Sunflower oil and Rosemary Leaf extract higher on the list:

I can see in GiftsandCare that Thiers-Issard had another soap formulation (different label). MIght that be the soap you have?
I'm not sure it's been a few years and I forgot what label it had

I’ve had no problems lathering but did find lathering better with a synthetic brush. Produced enough lather for 3 pass and touch ups.
