Thread: Martin de Candre- initial observations

This has to be the best lathering soap I have ever used. It takes surprisingly little brush loading to create a rich lather. It is a bit dry and likes some added moisture. I have been dipping my brush in a bit of water to lighten up the lather. Otherwise, it is too dense. My only complaint is the scent or rather lack of scent. I bought the scented version but there is hardly any smell associated with it. I enjoy a good vetiver or other scent while shaving and am a bit disappointed.

The soap was expensive. Not sure it is worth the difference between that and DR Harris. On the other hand, I use so little each time it may last for several years. All in all, a good purchase but not the life changing event I thought it would be.
