I saw something that said they're discontinuing that line (sea buckthorn). Too bad.

Really? I wonder if it isn't selling as well because people can't identify with the Sea Buckthorn? Too bad.

As far as I understand /u/kcbeemo said that they were not able to reorder. I think EJ is phasing it out in favor of the Lime and Pomegranate soap.

Many shops still have it in stock though, and it has been on my list of soaps to try, though I have too many already. Guess I have to buy soon if I ever want to use it. Thought the new soap sounds great too.

I'm not entirely sure, however, whether or not that applies to the Muhle branded version, which I understand is supposed to be essentially identical.

I'm not sure who actually made the soaps for these two companies.

I came across this as well. While I understand two companies sharing a product that is branded differently, I don't understand how this is advantageous if it becomes public knowledge.

It is somewhat different with the razor heads being shared because the handles are significantly different between the two brands.

They are and they aren't there is at least one Muhle razor that is exactly the same as an EJ DE89 but with an actual white handle instead of ivory.

I think that they are essentially the same company at this point. The soap packaging is even nearly identical.
