I got this soap today. Yeah. It's fantastic. Such tiny bubbles. Silky creamy skippery amazingness
Yeah, I got my jar 2 months ago and have @ 30 shaves. Looks exactly the same as when I I first opened it. Since I'm in my late 50's,I am doubtful that I will ever see the bottom of the jar.
After receiving a custom lather bowl for my 65th birthday, I gave bowl lathering another chance and am happy to say it was a wise decision. As good as the MdC was face lathering it is just as good or even better with the bowl. I now load about half as long and still have an over abundance of great lather.MdC is my favorite soap.
I have found similar results. I face lather and load heavy yet this is still a long lasting soap.
Absent from the above review but very evident and important to me is the clean feel of this soap. It goes on clean, rinses well and leaves my face feeling clean without the faintest hint of too much stickiness or greasy feeling.
I use MdC daily when home. The 135 g LE Canelle Original yielded 182 shaves and the Brain Bowl Original has 260 shaves with plenty more to go. That is over 440 shaves without finishing my second purchase! I have a Rose Brain Bowl waiting, but it will not see any use until November or December when the Original is finished.
it may be expensive, but given the quality, size and longevity it is a good value.
