Thread: The Magic of Martin de Candre

If I may ask, how much was the 170g in store?

Finally got to shave with it this morning. It does lather into billowy but thick lather with very little soap loading. And it lathers fast like a cream, but with a lather more like a soap (less greasy feeling). The scent isn't overly strong, it's pleasant and two hours later now, I don't notice any of it, unlike tabac and some others where every time you lean back, you smell the soap.

Very nice.

34.50 Euro in Paris.

Was it from Planête Rasoir? I e-mailed them and they said that as from Jan. 1 next year, the jar will be $48 but 200 grams.

Yes, Planete Rasoir. Very nice store. Plenty of Plisson brushes, and TI razors!

170g is a lot of soap!! If you think about it, a Tabac puck is 125g (IIRC) so 170g should last you a long time. Take this into account when placing orders.

the new jars are now 200grams instead of 170grams.


i got it from a u.s. vendor that once and a while gets some in stock it seems.

it is one of my favorite soaps...i could probably just use that one and be happy....but of course i use others.

best soap ever. Been using it exclusively since I got it, maybe 3 years now? And probably less than 1/3 through the jar. Occasionally I switch to Tabac or L'Occitane or Yardley, but only for one shave then I go right back to Martin. Suits me perfectly.

You can't go wrong with MdC in my opinion. I use it along with the Palmolive stick (when I'm travelling) and the CF Lavender cream.

will have to get a couple jars in the next month to try mdc. I already have enough soaps and creams for about 5 years though :P
