SV vs. MdC

Hi all, have never tried either of these upscale soaps and wondering if folks prefer one over the other.
Because of expense, I don't want to make a mistake. Please also mention your scent preferences. Thanks.
You won't go wrong either way. I like both MdC and SV soaps with a slight preference for MdC.

Boring and predictable
The mistake will be not committing to both. Life is short.You won't go wrong either way. I like both MdC and SV soaps with a slight preference for MdC.
Pick one MdC and one SV and go from there. Most people love MdC Fougere. I think all MdC scents are excellent. With Spring Summer on the way, Agrumes (lemon) MdC is outstanding.
The SV I hope to never be without is Dolomiti. It is the best lathering soap I have tried. The Dolomiti scent is very Earthy, like nothing I have tried. Not all SV scents are agreeable to me, so pick wisely.

SV > MdC for me.
Both are excellent SV is a bit more scented at least 70th anniversary is to my nose but performance wise they are on the same level, too bad MDC don't do matching aftershaves to compliment their soaps

I’ll vote sv. Even though I don’t have mdc. Tbh the price point of mdc pushes me away.
I like them both, but I prefer MdC.
Own both, but strongly prefer SV. A couple of my favorite soaps from SV are Mana di Sicilia and Colonia (Asylum Shaveworks by SV)
haven't tried the 4.3 SV yet, but in comparison of the 70th 4.1 and MdC?
MdC performs better, ever so slightly...

I have SV Felce Aromatica and MDC Fougere. I like them both. I prefer the scent and performance of the SV. Both are top tier stuff. The only thing I'd change about my tub of MDC is that I wish it were the rose instead of the fougere.

I’m not a fan
I've owned and used both for a number of years. I love MdC but overall I give the nod to SV in the "post shave feel" category. MdC Fougere is an outstanding scent.
Both are excellent IMO and I'd be hard pressed to choose between the two. Gun to my head? SV.

Have and enjoy both brands. Both are long lasting top notch soaps that in my opinion are worth the price.
Scent: I prefer the MdC scents over the SV.
Lather: both are superb I’d call it a tie.
Post shave feel: I prefer SV over MdC.
Summary: Really can’t go wrong either way, but I find most SV scents to be too much for me on consecutive days in a row (1 exception is the SV/Asylum Colonia), while I could probably use the MdC soaps for a month straight and still find myself enjoying the scents.

SV will make less of a dent in your pocketbook.
You are in for a treat. The Dolomiti is amazing and the scent is one you could use daily. I look forward to hearing your take.
Try an MdC Sample or two...
I have one scent of SV and 4 of MdC. I don't know why but I prefer MdC. But because SV has a matching AS ( and it's a nice one ) if I had to vote it would be SV.
I own both.
Sv wins in every category for me.
My water must be perfect for it.
I wouldn’t mind someone buying my brain bowl.
