    Default WTB Martin de Candre

    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.

    Wish I would have seen that group buy! I want to try MdC, but I think the only way to do it very economically is to get in on a group buy.

    To the OP, try Mitchells Wool Fat. I used it for the first time last night and IT IS AWESOME!!! Also, Provence Sante is very nice and it is my favorite smelling and second favorite shaving soap. I like soaps better than creams. PM me your address and I can send you a little Cella to try.

    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.

    Now that's nice. But it's not as bad now, as it were before. I'm just pointing that out.

    You may want to try La'Occtaine. Many shopping malls have a retail outlet, and it's available online. Tabac is also a good tallow based soap....I wouldn't say they're better, but just as good.
