    Bill,

    I "ubered" out of ignorance. Of course, when I don't have a "matching" cream for a soap, I use my T&H Ultimate Comfort Unscented because it is ....hmm, well, unscented. As you can imagine, MdC & T&H uber results in lather that will almost levitate the brush right out of the bowl. Economical - unmistakably not, overkill - definitely. Believe me, I'll not waste that way again.


    Back to singing the praises of MdC....

    Thumbs up

    Obie jan,
    MdC is indeed a great soap . And all that wholesome goodness with nothing more than 4 or 5 ingredients . Very good stuff.

    I must add though, that the MdC's performance can only be beat (albeit only slightly) by one other soap - The La Toja Manantiales . I recently came to inherit this wonderful soap from a friend in Spain and was utterly surprised at how marvelously this unassuming soap smelled and performed .

    Robert jan:

    Thanks for the heads up on La Toja Manantiales. I have eyed this soap for quite sometime. That you like it tells me it is of high quality. I will keep it on my list to try.

    You're also right about the limited number of ingredients used in Martin de Candre. Well, that's what the craftsman's hand will do every time.

    Stay well.

    Better yest, I think you and I will make a great musical team.

    Listen, what do they have that we don't? I don't see why we couldn't do Broadway musicals about razors and soaps. Lynn and the Mods can do the singing and the dancing.

    I'm not a happy camper with you guys right now. I was getting what I call low on shave soap and decided to give this a try.

    Order Number: 3004
    Date Ordered: Tuesday 26 April, 2011

    Products
    ------------------------------------------------------
    1 x Shaving soap 170 g () = $37,86
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Sub-Total: $37,86
    Colissimo (1 x 0.728 Kgs towards United States): $29,43
    Reduction export: $-5,99

    I can't believe I gave $61.30 for some soap...hope it's worth it!

    Hey shooter,
    Congrats on getting a great soap, but check your credit card statement online. That total (from MdC's invoice) is calculated with the wrong conversion rate. I found this out the hard way when I recently put in a group order and the total in USD I got (similar to your invoice) was very different than what was charged to my cc. MdC's website conversion rate is off. You may have paid more for that darn soap.

    Hello, Shooter:

    From my limited experience with Martin de Candre — for now — I think you will be pleased with it.

    Regards,

    I'm thinking your total is going to actually be a little closer to $68 US
