I am underwhelmed at the difference in performance between the MdC and the Tabac/Fitjars soaps for the difference in cost. It is just the old the more you pay the less increase in performance you seem to get. That applies to most things not just shave soaps. I am just not feeling the increase in performance that the 100% cost increase, MdC @ $0.36 per gr and the Tabac @ $0.18 per gr, that I think I should be feeling. Ultimate performance at no matter the cost has never been where I am at buying consumer goods. It is a totally different story for other people I am sure. It depends what you include in your parameters for judging. Just a case for me that it is very good soap but ....................

    I don't know if you've had it long enough to tell, but how do MDC and the others you mention compare in terms of its rate of use? I've been using my MDC for most of my shaves over the last month and I've hardly put a dent in it. So now I'm curious as to whether part of the price is just from the fact that it lasts so damn long.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
