Haha yeah, some quite weird English on that site

All the MdC soaps are the same, they just come in different jars/tubs. And the unscented version.

Just a little note of caution: the Mandarin and Patchouli Brushless shave cream does not lather!
It really is a brushless cream, no way to make any sort of lather out of it, I tried about 10 different ways, to no avail. No fault on the manufacturer's account, even the instructions make no mention of a brush anywhere. Haven't tried shaving with it brushless. Makes a good pre-shave for me. In a cool glass container.

HOWEVER the Cederwood and Clarysage shaving cream: dear god, as if I fell face-first into a tub of cedar-flavoured whipped cream!! Copious is the word. It hardly needs any water, and apparently can also be used as a brushless cream, although I haven't tried. This is SERIOUSLY good stuff, IMHO better lather than my TOBS Lemon & Lime (although I prefer the scent on the TOBS).

Cederwood and Clarysage it is then!

i absolutely cannot find this stuff here...... and when i search it on the net the cheapest i find with shipping is like $20.........

strange....

The Art of Shaving Sandalwood and Lavender creams are some of my favorite scents and perform great.
