I ordered mine straight from Martin De Candre in France.
Yeah, there's some really good/great soaps and creams out there. For price/performance Tabac is one of my top soaps. Czech & Speake is a top performer at a mid price (if you buy the replacement puck/without the aluminum dish :gaah:). XPEC is a really nice high performance cream. But.......MdC is just the best I've used based on performance and amount of product needed for a 3 pass shave, and...a mild pleasant scent!! :D
Of course, these are IMHO!!! Or, what is it, oh yeah...YMMV...but I bet...Not by much! :)

Howard :)
So I'm getting all smarty pants with my new jar of MDC in my shave safe....duh, how much is needed for a 3 pass shave say using a standard size thimble as a reference. I sure don't want to waste any lather!
I transfered mine to a glass container (since I got the small jar) and just swirl the brush on top. Usually about a dozen swirls is more than enough for 3 pass shave and then some.
Yes! A little goes a Loooong way!
I have had the travel sized jar for a few months, and just got a full sized jar recently and the travel jar is just below the rim and the other one doesn't even have a dent. It's my favorite by a wide margin and I do literally 5 seconds of swirling on the soap then face lather, then 5 more seconds and swirl in my bowl and get huge puffy clouds of lather that would last probably 3 shaves, and the jar looks like it was just opened. I could talk all day about "the magic of MdC"
I had read a thread about 'saving lather'a while back. Rubbed a 28mm brush in and stirred in the scuttle, then face lathered.
THEN, I squeezed out the brush into the scuttle. I have had 3 shaves by moistening the tip of a brush and digging in.
It seems to multiply! I just love it! :y
Mine was a gift from Tarkus! Thanks, Darl! :tu
So I've been on the site in France and see several different types of the MDC, unscented speaks for itself, but what others are considered great flavors?
I believe there are only two scents the "original" which I believe is some sort of lavender, and then the previously mentioned fougere that is "fern". It's a very fresh scent- I think I agree that I like this one the best, but both are just sublime to me. And yeah the way these things last I think I'll have these jars a looooong time.
I don't have a lot of soaps, but my second behind MdC is actually Tcheon Fung...and it's fairly cheap.
I remember reading on the MdC site
That a 200 gram jar should last a year.
