Question for our French friends - what are the postage costs like for domestic orders?

For the amount of soap you get, I think the price isn't that bad. It's the shipping cost that kills it.
Bravo Marco. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
I don't understand this soap. I am usually the first guy to slam veggie based pansy wimpy earthy granola eating non tallow soaps. It really should not be that good with such a short ingredient list.
But, I love it. It agrees with me. I've used it almost every day for six weeks.
I waited until I got home to read it....needed to get my popcorn and Red Vines to enjoy this beauty.
Great review Marco. Bravisimo!
You're English is excellent by the way.

Slightly off topic here, or maybe it's on topic...
Marco, I really enjoy all your reviews! I feel like I should be paying admission to have the privilege of learning from your experience.
Example... I first tried P.160 about 1 1/2 years ago and didn't really like it. I didn't think much of it at the time, just a soap I wouldn't be purchasing again. But after reading what you have to say about it, I wish I hadn't given it away. Your praise of the product has made me confident that I did something wrong
So, thanks for all the effort and info... or maybe no thanks, because I now list all the soaps you enjoy as "must have" soaps, just when my SSAD was under control
Hi Marco,
As per usual great review. I only wish they would find a retailer in North America to absorb some of the shipping cost...
Regardless, I hope to procure this soap one day.
Cheers,
Doug
Monsavon anyone?
Of course there is a lot of very good soap that cost half the price , but that's the same for every product.
you have to compare with other High end soaps.
Dr Harris cost 18£ for 100G in a bowl, that would make near 30£ without shipping for 170G.
Geo F trumper is also 18£, but for 80 of soap...
Nobody should buy Art of Shaving, if the price of Mdc is insane.
Martin de candre is not a Big company, with store around the world , they don't have massive production.
Otherwise the initial post was very pleasant to read , thanks Marco
Great review! Price is too high....actually insanely high. But most agree that if they spend that much on a soap/cream than the product is the sh.t regardless. Tallow as an ingredient doesnt mean jack to me. If it did then Williams, Ivory, and Irish Spring would all be superior SS's. I have tallow soaps and veggie soaps that are equal in performance but of course I know MY MMV. Bottom line....I would bet PdP is just as good at a fraction of the price. Bash me as you must but its true. A company's simplicity in formulation does not equate to price gouging. The cost for that "glass jar" and contents is no more than $5. That is being generous.......
Sorry for rant....but if you are looking for oceanfront property in Arizona please let my real estate agent know

Have you used Provence Sante, CADE and Institut Karite shaving soaps? All of them are non-tallow and provide just as good shaves as tallow equivalents.
