Thread: Martin De Candre

That must have been the combo I received as well, a small vile of shampoo and a block of hand soap that has a fern-like smell whatever that might be. Really nice stuff. I was actually wondering how long does a tub of soap last unopened and then after opened? If it lasts for a long time I might be willing to put down on a larger purchase to save a bit on shipping and either save it or divide it out with whoever is interested. Perhaps even get some of the other MDC products.

Coincidentally I just broke down and ordered a new Thiers-Issard Celebration Royal Crown razor with their super hard carbonsong steel. A fine french razor should make a perfect match for a fine french soap. Now I just need to pour myself a glass of fine french wine. I can't stop thinking of all the money I am saving by avoiding mach cartridges

If it's exposed to the air the scent will decrease over time. That was my concern with the MDC Wood Shaving Bowl. I got one of the wood boxes they sell which is made to store soap and it's big enough to put 2 wood shave bowls and store some other soaps. Just what the MD ordered. I had also ordered a bunch of 300 gram soap blocks and they came in a sealed cardboard box and they seem to be doing well in there.

I HATE ALL YOU SOAP WHORES!!!!
I have been seriously racking my brains to come up with some auspicious "occasion" that I can use to convince my SWMBO that I need this soap!
When she finds out the price (and she WILL find out.) I will have some explaining to do. I am tempted just to order it and beg forgiveness, but I would hope that you fine fellows would help a brother out! Please come up with some of you most unique excuses for past indulgences....HELP!

They sell some really nice gift kits, tell here you were looking online to find her a nice gift and found this awesome artisan soap maker. And you of course had to try their shaving soap when you were at it...

I'm beginning to have a better understanding of that "I hate Obie" thread!

I could always send you a little to try.......LOL

I talked about how good a reputation it has and that she could use it on her legs.... after trying some of my others she readily agreed!!!

Well, you know what they say - It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission! What's a few nights on the couch, eh?

BTW - Utopian, I sent you a pm regarding DC shave cream....

Gettin too old to sleep on the couch LOL.

My dear JoeSomebody:

The solution is simple. Order Martin de Candre shaving soap for yourself and a variety of other soaps and shampoo for the dearly beloved. I dare say she will probably be delighted at how sweet you are, and might say, "Oh, darling, you shouldn't have." It's like extending a handshake to people: most people will return the handshake.

Regards,

Obie

I believe his middle name to Martin De Candre. Obie Martin De Candre Yadgar. Rolls off the tongue!

I'm still waiting to hear how he likes the La Toja wooden bowl
