Result: I got a sample of the "Martin de Candre" shave soap in the mail from Joe (aka, Harvitz81) yesterday. Thank you Joe ...I really, really like the scent of this thing. Absolutely fantastic. Say what you want about the French...but, they know their scents and soaps . Even by itself, the soap produced a lather that was nothing short of excellent. And with this French soap, I instinctively had to use the Thiers-Issard (even though it's a Sheffield steel). The grind and size of this blade was a heavenly match with this soap. BBS shave for entire face in my usual 3 passes. |
