If there is a group buy, I'm in. Shoot, I was considering biting the bullet and buying a tub all on my own.
+1 I agree. This year I want to go for quality over quantity. I would definitely be interested in a group buy
Well thanks again Marco!!!!! Dear friend, I should just be sending you my money, for every review I see of yours I seem to be losing it anyway. I just ordered 2 jars of the 1.7g variety. I found shipping was more justifiable on 2 jars instead of 1. $22 shipping with one and $30 for 2. Can't wait for it to arrive now.
Ditto!!
When I was last in Paris, I found the people very friendly. I had no problems at all. Am I alone in this?Now, that seems very French.
If there is a group buy I would certainly be interested. Please let me know!

First, I also want to chime in on the "Marco, your English is great" bandwagon. Specifically, your writing is probably better than most of the native-English (-only) speakers I know. Hopefully, this says more about your skill than my friends...
I was looking for this thread, and found another thread where a shop called French Garden was mentioned.
...this lavender-mint shaving soap makes for the most luxurious shave imaginable. With a bracing mixture of natural essential oils of lavender and mint, and 100% natural ingredients, this soap lathers richly and leaves your skin smooth and hydrated.
French Garden charges like $28 for shipping and handling! Someone said they ship this from France as well. Sorry to burst your bubble.
This is where she picked it up. Great web page and great shop. You are going to need a lot of discipline or a lot of money if you visit.
You can find it at
Planet Rassoir

OK here's the deal, it may cost $39.50 and $28 shipping that works out to $67.50. If you purchase Aqua di Parma from a local store it is $62 plus tax so normally that works out to be about $67.50. So what is the difference between ordering Martin de Candre from France or buying Aqua di Parma locally? Nothing really but you don't see anyone complaining. Santa Maria is expensive too costing close to $60 with taxes included. So in relationship to other high end shave products it is about the same.

... Yes it is expensive, but it is in line with other high end products...
... I've read such great things about the lather and I think I would like the scent as I really enjoy lavender and mint.
I'm going to bite the bullet and get a tub.
You guys are absolutely right in that it is in line with other high end products. However, AdP and SMN aren't that attractive to me. In fact I can honestly say I am not in the least drawn to these products. MdC is a different story, I've read such great things about the lather and I think I would like the scent as I really enjoy lavender and mint.

You can also find it on the undergroud floor of the "Les Printemps" in Paris. Planete Rasoir has a booth there.
