Monsavon where to get for US buyer?

[Dr Roadrash]

Looking to get some monsavon bol a raser. I know its cheap in France like our Williams, but I hear its pretty nice. I have had really good luck with almost all the French soaps I have tried. Looking for the bottom tier supermarket French soap now to see what kind of shave it gives.
I haven't found many options, there are no US sellers. There are a few European sellers but shipping is usually ridiculous.
Anyone have a source or just have too many pucks I would be happy to take it off your hands.

I would like to hear what people think of the soap as well, Thoughts?

I tried it awhile back. It was decent but not on par with some other soaps I was using, so I passed it on. Not sure where to get it in US. I'm pretty sure I got mine on BST.

It is a nice soap and I pick up some 'bols' every time I visit France. I have no clue for US dealers so chances are you pay more than it is worth if you find some. The key to Monsavon is using enough product to get it working right otherwise you end up with a thin lather.

This is typical a product that is great for the money when you get it for local prices but maybe a bit less so when you have to pay $10 or more. Scent is great (imo of course); citrussy with lavendar, very pleasant!

As far as I know it's really hard to find on this side of the world.
I have some and I do like it. The scent is nice, especially in the colder months.
It smells spicy and warm.

It makes good lather too. If anyone you know is going to France, ask them to pick some up!

Generally you have to have someone who is travelling to France acquire these for you. I managed to acquire one in a trade or a PIF, or similar. Thought it was a decent inexpensive shave soap, though not really remarkable. I ended up passing it on in a trade or a PIF or whatever.

It's a decent product, though I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it.
