Anyway, MdC is a nice soap. It's simple, lathers easily, and has nice fragrances.

Totally agree that MdC is a nice soap. I have Rose and shaved with it this morning. Performance is outstanding and I really like the scent. At some point I have to try the Original. I'm not sure what the scent is like but from the ingredients it sounds intriguing.

It's very nice, the lavender is the most prominent and the rosemary and mint sort of play in the background. I think Maggard's carries samples still.

I’d agree with Darth Scandalous. It’s my favorite MdC scent. It’s pleasantly herbal with no medicinal notes and the mint doesn’t add any cooling or skin tingling component, if that’s a concern for you (I’m not a fan of menthol soaps; MdC Original doesn’t do that).

I will triple confirm Original is a great scent. Clean. Fresh. A little medicinal almost like Noxema but in a good way and 100 times better. I too have Rose and Argrumes in rotation but Original is my favorite. Which is like picking a favorite child, I love them all so.

I find the Rosemary to be a bit more prominent than in your description.
Like, I wouldnt want it *any* stronger...
Wonderful soap. Wish there was a matching AS out there...

I haven't tried it but Myrsol Agua Balsamica sounds like it could work.

Looking at the JB Supreme Cream, it's soap. With a couple added surfactants and stabilizers. Yes, it has a bunch of herbal oils/flower extracts, but it's hardly unique there. I'm sure it's a great product, I may have to get a tube to try it out, but pretending it's some kind of space-age innovation is just silly. The Beard Lube is different but I won't be trying that as eucalyptus is a no-go in our house.

Anyway, MdC is a nice soap. It's simple, lathers easily, and has nice fragrances.

They make a Beard Lube too which is brushless. I like that better than their cream which lathers, but to me is just another good cream. The brushless would be all I'd use save for one thing. Too much menthol for me. Take that out and to me they would have made the best brushless on the market. I still use it quite a bit but it could be almost my only one IF they trimmed back on the menthol, at least I think that is what it is, though I don't like peppermint or eucalyptus either. So the much beloved Prorasso Green or the CO Bigelow are no longer in my den. The Jack Black performs for me, much better than either the Prorasso or CO Bigelow ever did and it performs better than the Jack Black lathering cream as well.

I do like MdC. Simple and leaves a clean feeling.

In my opinion, it works perfectly.
