Scent is a very personal thing. I love the scent and performance of MdC, but I can see how the scent might not be for everyone. I haven't tried Monsavon yet.
Thanks. The only seller right now is in the UK, and shipping is about double the cost of the soap. I'll have to ponder. I think I have 4 pucks of other stuff on the way right now still.I got my little tub from Ebay, after shipping it cost about $12 or something. Not a bad price for what you get. Honestly it's a stronger more chemical version of MDC scented in MY opinion but still performs just as well.
I'm not disagreeing with you at all as I'm a HUGE single malt fan however I don't buy the 'you're not a refined enough person' to enjoy this pitch.
You have to award points for creativity though. I thought it was made in jest at first.
I wasn't saying that at all! Some people don't like scotch, period. It's not because they're not refined enough, it's because they don't like it. I was just pointing out that most people don't like scotch the first time they try it. I think the scent of Lavender is the same way. I didn't like the scent of Mike's Hungarian Lavender or MdC the first time I smelled them. After much use, they've grown on me and are now two of my favorite scents in shave soaps.
It was. That's why I used my "Jesus telling a parable" language
Brooksie, doesn't surprise me at all, not a fan of the scent.
It took me a few weeks of use before I began to appreciate the complexity and balance of MdC's scent. It has since become a favorite. So lump me with the masses.Lavender can be likened unto fine wine or whiskey. It is an acquired taste. Few can appreciate the scent of something as refined as MdC on the first sniff.
Not surprised at all. Scent's a subjective thing. All you've really done is shown that the 4 people seem to have similar scent preferences. Any possible split wouldn't surprise me as it's such a small sample.
I would tend to agree but I find it surprising that the scent of the highest end soap on the market isn't preferred over a 2€ soap by four random guys I asked.
I have bowled about three times in my life.
The first time I tried it, the first four balls I rolled knocked down all the pins, which I understand is a good play. I never managed that again for the rest of the game, mostly missing the pins thereafter. Odd.
