I tried to google search and forum search for probably the last 45 minutes and couldn't find any. I wonder what do people think about his soap and comparison to some of your top tier soap as well.

Jabonman soap has great performance, haven't tried the new formula thou. I have the Wet Earth one with lanolin, it is a nice earthy scent that reminds me of a lettuce patch. It has a harder consistency similar to SC. I was lucky enough to pick this soap up in a trade.

As far as acquiring the soap, you would have to email him and he will send you a list of scents and prices. Hopefully someone will chime in with his email address.

I did found his email from various forum that I have went, doing some intense research on his soap but can't seems to find any review regarding his new Tallow line. I am also interested to see how does his Tallow line stack up to his Premium line.

Since I stay in Asia, I generally consolidate a few different soaps before shipping them over. Would like to see if it is worth the trouble to ship them to a forwarder (at US).

I believe he lives in Spain, not sure about shipping prices to Asia, but it would be a good idea to get a few soaps to make up for shipping cost. If he has the tallow and premium line you could compare them and see what one you like best. I don't think you will be disappointed with his soaps, good ingredients and skincare. Hope they work well for you!

I just ordered the Tobacco and Fougere Tallow (which are part of his Premium line) from Manuel. He is exceptionally professional and responds almost instantaneously. here is the shipment options that he provides:

Europe: 9.15 euros by registered mail up to 500g (two units). Up to 1000g (three-four) costs 15.45 euros.

Rest of the world:
1) 12.70 euros by registered mail up to 500g (two units). Up to 1000g (three-four) costs 23.80 euros.
2) New option express delivery, to 16.23 euros up 500g, 21.30 euros to 1000g, 26,37 euros to 1500g, 30,43 euros to 2000g. The shipment arrives in about a week, but can offer no guarantee because it is not delivered under signature.

Hope it helps.
Best,
Alex

IMHO his soaps and balms are some of the best made. His scents are excellent and unique.. as to the difference in his lines , I'm sure he can explain it best..I regard Manuel as one of the most or THE most trusted of soapmakers.. He once had a problem with one of his ingredients and the soaps wouldn't lather, he either reimbursed or sent a good lathering soap to anyone who had received the bad batch... and he was the one who found it, of course after he had sent it out and informed everyone of this..stand up guy.
Only problem is the dang language barrier..Google translate helps a little..
So in essence, they are worth it!!

Excellent soap, excellent soap maker. I have the Humana and the ylang ylang, both are top on my rotation. I'm contemplating the new Tobacco scent and the East Breeze. I'm pausing alittle since I worked out the cost including shipping and it roughly works out to $41 Canadian a tub (for the premium stuff). I'm not so much balking at the price (it's that good), as I am considering wether I need more soap. Anyways I put this one right up there with the top soap makers in the US. While scent is subjective, the performance is not, you won't be disappointed.

Anyone who knows JabonMan soaps is aware of the high quality to which Manuel works. His soaps have always contained high quality ingredients, using only essential oils for scents where possible, and performance has always been unequivocally strong.

It's been a while in coming, but, finally, Manuel has responded to requests for a tallow formula of his soap. I've had Tobacco and Fougère for just over two weeks, now, and I have to say I have been extremely impressed with the outcome, especially as this is Manuel's first tallow formula.

The soap lathers incredibly easily, just as with his veggie formula, but the tallow lather is richer and creamier. It provides excellent protection and cushion. The formula is very thirsty and on first use, I underestimated the water requirement and didn't find the lather as slick as I like. Second use was considerably better, although I still felt it could have accepted even more water. After several uses, I've got the ratio exactly how I like it and the whole performance is up there with the best. Post shave, with the ingredients it contains, is superb. I'd still give the nod to MW post shave, though. Having said that, I've had the opportunity to try a different tallow formula with a lemon scent. My finding is that slickness is even greater, post shave is even better, and pretty much on par with MW soaps in those respects. The downside is that it does require a little more effort to lather, however, I wouldn't class it as anywhere near difficult. I believe Manuel has sent out Lemon samples with some orders and, hopefully, will receive more feedback.

Bottom line, for me, is that Manuel's new tallow soaps are masterpieces with superb scents. I'm longing for new scents to appear in the near future.

May I ask, do you all opt for the normal shipping or the express shipping? Since I am not sure what's the thing with "delivered signature not required" and living further away from US (Singapore for me), it will be even a further shipping to where I stay.
