I did, when I ordered from the Factory they sent me 3 samples. Scent was great. As for the virtues, I dont use bath soap to wash my face so I mostly enjoyed the matching great scents.Has anyone tried MdC bath soaps?

Really liking Desert Vetiver with the matching AS. Havent tried those you mentioned.Literally received notice minutes before posting here.
What did you order? This will be my first SV; thinking shaving soaps, Anniversary and Manna di Sicilia or Tundra Artica.
Your opinion?

The shaves are fairly similar - my two top soaps. SV did not hold up to my scuttle heat (hot tap water), but is a simply wonderful face lathering soap.With all due respect for the subject of this thread and participants, I am wondering if anyone would compare the shaving characteristics and economics of McD to Saponificio Varisino. They appear to be in the same soap niche.

I have. I find them drying and they cause itching for my sensitive skin even though I use an oil to moisturize after the shower. In all fairness, I have this problem with most soaps. I only recently came across a shower gel that doesn’t do this to my skin.Has anyone tried MdC bath soaps?
Can you post a link to the sample pack? I’m not able to find it.MdC is 10-12 cents per shave. SV is 18-20. If scents don't matter, check out Canada soap. It's made the same as MdC, if you decide on SV get the SO decide on the scent. Order the sample pack direct from SV USA.
I've been using only MdC this past week or so and find a pea size bit smeared thinly over the bottom of a bowl gives a wonderful lather, even in my hard water. I know loads say it is long lasting, but think it may last 2 years! Well maybe a bit less!! Don't want to over exaggerate.
That's exactly what happened to me. I got tired of chasing the latest and greatest and just decided to use up or dump everything except MdC and SV. I didn't have a ton of other soaps, maybe 10. I finished a couple of them and pitched the remainder. Now all I have is 4 flavors of MdC and 6 of SV. Should last about 7-8 years.I just have to jump on the MDC Bandwagon.
I find a slight bloom and 10 seconds worth of swirling gets me all I could want in a shave.
I have some great soaps in my rotation but they don't last very long. Softer soaps that have a great face feel from conditioners and such. I have so much soap right now that I'm trying to work through it so I can buy a few jars of MDC and be done playing with soaps.
I may have to sell some as it's going to be a long time to use it all.
MDC is great! Sure the cost is high, but it lasts soooo loooong.
I might be a shaving newbie, but I'm a veteran of attacking hobbies with the greatest of buying/testing zeal. When new here, I had this plan of buying examples of three pricing tiers of soaps/creams/croaps, after which I'd (theoretically) select the few to run with.tired of chasing the latest and greatest and just decided to use up
They are both nice soaps…which one is better…MDC…which one is the best MDC…the Vetyver. I have used all of them, and the Vetyver produces the nicest creamiest lather for me.With all due respect for the subject of this thread and participants, I am wondering if anyone would compare the shaving characteristics and economics of McD to Saponificio Varisino.

Absolutely! And I always have Saponificio Varesino in my rotation.But the quality of SV justifies the purchase for me, although I don't have it constantly in the rotation.
Maybe I'll find a good price in Italy this fall.Absolutely! And I always have Saponificio Varesino in my rotation.
