Thread: Martin de Candre other soaps???

I bought(longtime ago) a big bowl of MdC the one in the wooden bowl(LLOOOVVVEEE IT!!!!).
I saw that there's other kind like ''Le Cannelé'', ''Le Beurrier'' and the ''Ice Cream'' is there someone that tried those???
Are they the same paste and scent that the original one?

Thanks
Dominic

PS: I've sent them a Email but didnt get an answer...

If I'm not mistaken I think the only difference is the container the soap comes in. They still only have two varieties, scented and unscented.

Yup, I think this is correct.
They have various packaging options for smaller versions of the very same soaps

...believe me whichever size you get, this soap is going to last you donkeys years!
I've had the 170g in the glass bowl since 2010, so almost coming up to two years now and the thing has barely gone down a centimetre. It might be the holy grail for some people, but I have since forgotten what it feels like to open up a brand new soap!

+1 This stuff is like those gag peanut brittle cans which shoot all over the room when opened. Wipe the brush on it a few times and lather is everywhere. I have gotten a dozen uses from mine and it looks to have never been opened.

Quite right. I store mine with the lid on and it still smells quite strongly even two years on.

I have managed to shave a month's growth off with this soap. I lathered it for an extra long time and created gobs of lather, enough to shave my legs, head and chest (not that I would!). Shaved like a dream of course, but it just highlights how 'latherable' this soap really is.

Thanks guys!

Just received the answer from MdC and like you guys said its the same soap different bowl...
Except for scented and unscented, thats it!

And yes I got mine 2 years ago and its still got plenty in bowl!!!!

How can these people make any money? You need to buy this soap only once in your lifetime. This must be a terrible business model 😊

At €27 plus €16 shipping they can't be doing too badly if they only sell you one jar.

Besides that they are French.
