Can anyone recommend a link to buy this? Thanks in advance!
OR can anyone recommend something better? I've been using straights for less than a year now and have tried:
Mama Bear (barbershop and almond)
Proraso
Jack Black
I love the Proraso and Mama bear, but want to continue exploring.
Thanks! Haakon
Generally a WTB is not placed in the general fora. That's why the classifieds exist. This sounds more like a search for retailer though. MDC is purchased direct just google their site.
As for choice, there are a lot of other great brands available to you that won't cost an arm and leg. I would suggest trying: cella, bluebeard's revenge, essentials, al's shaving cream. There are a lot of possibilities.
My apologies! But yes, I am looking for a retailer. Thanks for the suggestions, I will take a look at them!
It's true you can only buy direct from them. They have no retailers and the shipping costs will take your breath away.
True if you buy alone. A few of us did a group buy a few months ago and the cost including shipping was (to me) reasonable, especially when one considers the outstanding quality and longevity of a jar of MdC.Quote:

After they changed their website the shipping cost went down a bit. For a 170g tub of shaving soap, it's $61.5 shipped to the USA.
The shipping is $23 , which isn't that bad. You Americans are just spoiled with free/cheap shipping. ;)
With our group buy, the final cost (including shipping) for a 170g jar was CONSIDERABLY less.Quote:
