Thread: Choose MdC For Me

Once again Phrank and are in complete agreement. They are both wonderful but I prefer the Fougere. To me the scent, mild as it is, is very reminiscent of Chanel Pour Monsieur. Light muted scents. Not all up in your face. Lightly herbal with a hint of Meyer lemon.

I've never been able to describe scents, but the Fougere has, to me, a more fresh outdoorsy scent and though I like both very much......my vote goes to Fougere...Fern!!

Howard

I like the unscented, it has just enough of a lavender scent for me, and the performance is in a league of its own. When I want to get blasted with lavender, I reach for Mike's Hungarian Lavender, incredible stuff.

I think you're being directed to try the Fougere scent, and I would agree but it's the only one I've tried. I picked it based on descriptions like Howard made in post #12. I like green outdoorsy type scents , muted, and subtle.

I have both and enjoy them very much...you really can't go wrong with either scent. It comes down to what you're looking for, the fougere is a little more potent and the regular is quite mild in my opinion. In all honesty, if I had to choose only one it would be the regular scent, but that's just me and nothing against the fougere

I was actually just going to agree with Catrentshaving - they are both top of the line shaving soaps - period. And you really can't go wrong no matter which you choose, so pick the one you think you'd like.

Like many other soaps that came with a lot of press, I was skeptical whether this would measure up, especially with it's cost. It surpassed my expectations and is easily now my favorite shaving soap.

Cheers!

Where do you purchase MDC and how much USD does it cost?

And does anyone want to send me a sample

I made an order finally

Purchased from MdC direct, they're in France, I'm in England so.. Check out there might be US vendors carrying it

I got mine through a member here - jmsodpc.

He was kind enough to offer the members here the opportunity to buy some of the MDC, and I got two jars from him, they arrived here in Toronto very quickly, and the very next day I was blown away at how nice it was. Followed of course by the requisite handing out of many sample to various friends, now, to paraphrase Charleton Heston in, "Planet of the Apes", "keep your dirty paws off my MDC you damn dirty ape!"

edit: hey Dexter, just read your post about sending a sample, wasn't directed at you! haha
