Martin de Candre Rose shaving soap

Post by brothers »

I haven't kept up with the brand, but today I stumbled upon it. Do we have anyone here who's familiar with the Rose? Is it good? I do recall that the MdC used to have an unpleasant background fragrance in all of their products.

In the event someone responds, I am wondering if it's worth $80? (That's Eighty dollars plus shipping!)

It's an excellent product in terms of both efficacy and scent. I have a brand new tub of Rose for sale over at damnfineshave.com. It's $45 plus shipping. You can reach me at (deleted) if you have more questions as I rarely participate here at SMF.

The last time I used MdC shaving soap was more than ten years ago. Never gave it another thought. Completely forgot it. Then a few days ago I stumbled onto a comment somewhere that referred to MdC Rose soap. That got my attention because I love Rose fragrance. I purchased one and used it this morning. It's 5 Star winner. Performance of the lather is outstanding and the fragrance is very pleasant.
