Maggards is back in stock with the tubs but now I don't know what to do. Are the Maggard's plastic tubs nice to use? Or would most prefer using the heavier white tubs like the ones from MW/B&M?

If I could find the Glissant tubs, my life would be a whole lot easier right now!

The Colt-Ainer jars that Maggard Razors sell are the same jars that all the new glissants are being released in. They are quite heavy (120 grams) and made of very hard plastic, if that makes sense. I think they are very classy jars, and they open and close with more ease than any other jars I have ever used.

If you bought glissant-base soaps last year (such as the latest Beaudelaire or Leviathan soaps), they were released in the thick-walled Parkway 6 oz. clarified propylene jars, which are also very nice. These jars weigh 78 grams, and the plastic is not as hard as the Colt-Ainer jars.

I really like both types of jars a lot. The Parkway jars are lighter and would probably handle a fall (and traveling) better. The Colt-Ainer jars are classier, but perhaps a little brittle, and they open and close like they were made of precision-engineered stainless steel.

You are welcome! I first noticed the change when I was lucky enough to buy Passiflora before it sold out. More recently, I noticed that Seville is in the same of jar, except the color of the jar and lid is white. Maggard of course only offers the clear jar with the black lid, but it’s a nice one, for sure.

It certainly looks beautiful. I just wasn't sure if it had that cheap plastic feel to it. That's the main reason I was hesitating. Well off to buy 6!

I really hope you like them and that they work for you. Now I’m wondering if I should get a few more while they’re in stock… Smile

Yea you should. I might take 8 of them.. I noticed earlier someone ordered 6 as soon as they hit. They probably wont last long!

That’s what happened last time. And the time before last time…

Alright, no longer looking for anything. About to make another large purchase at MW thanks to the amazing whipped shea and samples of L&S and Yellow Rose I received. Going on a serious Sabbatical after that! Should have enough soap to last me until next year with ease. Thanks for everyone's help!
