On the advice of LegalBeagle I was in search of some Martin de Candre when I was in France on spring break. I discovered it at Planete Rasoir on Rue de Clinchy in Paris. It is an incredibly nice shop, and is a definite "must visit" if you're ever in Paris. I literally jogged the last 3-4 blocks through the rain and managed to arrive about 15 minutes before closing time on a Friday evening. The clerk was incredibly helpful and despite the language barrier answered my endless questions. I hope he's on commission as I kept him about 45 minutes past closing time.
As you can see from the picture, I came out of the store with a little more than some shaving soap and a few less euros in my pocket. Hmmm, next time Bill gives me some advice, I'd better leave the credit cards at home;) BTW, the Martin de Candre is AWESOME! I'm a uberlater fan, but gentlemen, you don't need to "uber" Martin de Candre. It's hard to believe the luxurious lather you can get from this soap all by itself!
Over the next few weeks I'll try to post some the pictures I took in Normandy - Omaha, Utah, and Sword beaches and Point du Hoc. And on that note, to all of you gentlemen who have served or are serving our country, a warm heart-felt thank you for your service!!!
