You guys are EVIL! After reading all the glowing reviews of this magical shaving soap, and wrestling with my wallet for weeks, I finally broke down and ordered the Marin de Candre in the wooden bowl, along with a couple of bars of bath soaps. Now the agony of the waiting...
I have been faithful to the I Coloniali mango cream soap for several months, neglecting the other 30 or so soaps and creams on the shelf, as I find the scent intoxicating, and the cushion/moisturizing of I Coloniali suits me perfectly. Is there anyone here who appreciates the I Coloniali as I do, who can give me some idea as to how it compares with the Martin de Candre?Obie likes this.

This is SO far outside my pay grade! But I went ahead and bought some that was posted on the B & B forums. I think I could've bought 4 tubs of TOBS for the price I paid ($63). Gulp.....
I'm gonna have to sell some one of my straights to make up for this

I could have sworn I saw someone post that they had contacted the store and offered this, but as this is still a relatively small business, that it wouldn't happen. Originally Posted by bassguy

On the other hand, I DID just convince my wife that $150 of next month's budget is going toward MdC's soaps. Yeah, it was a bribe.
Although, if she doesn't like it, Obie, I'm a dead man. I'll just tell her that Obie made me do it, then point her North, toward Milwaukee.Obie likes this.

Looks like five is the magic number. Five 170g jars shipped to the USA is a reasonable $49.33/jar shipped to the USA. PM sent. Originally Posted by bassguy

If you don't mind I would like to add to the order about 5 or 6 soaps of my own... Originally Posted by TopCat

and one of those wooden soap storage boxes that someone on here mentioned that they sell...
i am assuming these are all different variations of the shave soap i got from them which is the ultimate shave soap for me. if these are just different packaging of the same soap someone please let me know as i do not speak french. only live once, might as well do it right... this order should probably last me that long and still give me something to hand down to the next generation

AFAIK there is only two versions of the shaving soap, scented and unscented, the difference is the packaging.
