I don't follow. I was just expressing my initial opinion of a soap.

It's OK......Spendur just loves telling the Rolex parody!

I finally decided to order some MDC, so I look forward to my first shave with it. Yes it was pricey, but if it lasts as long as everyone says it does, then it will be money well spent.

As for Rolex parodies, I used to work with a guy who had two Rolex watches, but rarely wore them. I asked him why one day and he said his $25 watch from Target kept better time, so go figure.

Well you can look at Mona Lisa or the Sunday paper supplements - they are both pictures.

To the OP - congratulations on buying MdeC - it's worth every penny.

You mentioned life changing event. Many folks who buy a Rolex look at it that way.

No, I don't think so. The prices have gotten to a point where the average middle class or above middle class person is priced out. Most wealthy folks have looked upon one as a beater and as they climb in price they are looked at more seriously by that segment of the population.

Those that pay retail get screwed bigtime,as a long time NAWCC member (30 Yrs) I have bought and sold hundreds of Rolex watches.
The poor smuck that walks into Say Shreves and pays 15 grand for an 18K presy is stupid.
He brings it to one of our regeonal marts and trys to sell it,he is upset that he cannot get more than 6K cash for it even tho it is mint perfect, 2 mos. old, Box, papers hangtags.
Most dealers I know won't even touch them anymore as there is almost zero profit margin to be had.
Besides that, they may be a good watch,but for the money they are not a great watch,JMO

Lots of talk about Rolex watches here, and everyone seems to be ignoring the elephant in the room.

In all the years I have been enjoying MdC, I've never EVER heard anyone say that the regular scented MdC has no real smell. Are you sure you don't have the unscented version? Good heavens I have a half used brain bown sitting open in my shave bathroom, and the scent is still strong enough to travel out from the bathroom into my office.
