With arrival on Saturday from France I felt compelled to bring the Martin de Candre into my rotation. I loaded up my Muhle with a new blade, grabbed my chubby 2 and off I went.
Impressions:
170 grams of the stuff is a lot. I know price is a nasty factor with this soap. I suppose if it is any consolation you do get a heap. Filled to the brim.
The lather is explosive. Like on another level. Thick, easy, and unctuous.
The scent is nothing special imo. Nice. Not too strong. I pick up a little lavender and faint rosemary. They say mint.
Zero skips. Perfect gliding ability.
Felt great on the skin. All and all, an Excellent shaving soap. Easily the best I've used thus far.
Is it worth the price? Well. To each their own. This never going to be dollar-for-dollar the best shaving soap one can find. But it is absolutely amazing stuff to be sure.
