What's the deal with Haslinger?

Haslinger works well for me too. Scents aren't really my thing, as they usually don't really impress me or give me some irritation, so the mild Haslinger scents work for me. The performance of Schafmilch has been very good for me, with all the protection and post-shave of Mike's Natural but better slickness. That, and when I buy in bulk the price of it is actually as cheap if not cheaper than other artisans (this coming from a Canadian perspective and taking into account shipping costs).

Long story short, I've already got a few schafmilch pucks as well as Aloe Vera and coconut, and have a few more of the scents coming to me now to see which one I like the most.

Gents,

I was recently gifted a bunch of Haslinger (tallow) pucks.  I have so far used the Sandalwood and Coconut.

I shredded two pucks of the coconut, and pressed it into an empty Eufros tin.  

I got a beautiful lather, and an even better shave!

The only way to mess with tallow Haslinger is to withhold it from water. It will work as long as you drown it and hydrate it to hell! Nice looking lather Matt

I haven't been following up on Haslinger for many years but do they still make them with tallow or has it been re-formulated. I still have some pucks I bought maybe 10 years ago somewhere in my inventory.

Generally all the comments I read are just as favorable as before but yes it is tallow free now in their formula.

I found them and I'll add them to my soap rotation.

Thanks Zac!

Yeahp Max...they have been great thus far.  I have a few each of coconut, sandalwood, seaweed (?), honey, and the sheep one.  I think that’s it, and I plan to use them more often!

I bloomed the coconut with very hot distilled water while in the shower, threw the bloom water back into the little bowl, and lathered on the puck with a damp brush for sixty seconds.  Then I took it to the lather bowl adding bloom water from my syringe 1 ml at a time like always.  The neat part was, when I started adding the water...it had almost turned more gel like...I assume from the tallow.  BEAUTIFUL stuff!

The non-tallow version pales in comparison

Just note everyone, this is uncommon in my opinion but I will ask those to guard caution if you have a peanut allergy. In my years of purchasing within shavedom over the years, I can only recall one other product in 8yrs that had "arachis hypogaea" aka peanut oil. Below is what is found as a small excerpt from cosmeticsinfo.com:

Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil is a pale yellow oil obtained from peanuts. Additional hydrogen atoms are added to Peanut Oil to make Hydrogenated Peanut Oil. Peanut Glycerides is a mixture of mono-, di- and triglycerides derived from Peanut Oil, while Peanut Acid is a mixture of fatty acids derived from Peanut Oil

I will say that years ago I came to the conclusion that sometimes people with almond allergy are not going to always have a reaction to almond oil but that something more likely to happen to to react negatively to something that is not purely cold pressed for oil extraction. Sometimes the nut oil itself is fine for someone but the process could use the hexane oil extraction method and depending on the quality, someone may not react well to something that isn't totally pure and free of all initial hexane. Maybe I said too much.....
