My Favorite So Far - Henri et Victoria

[Clance73]

Hello gentleman. just a quick review of my favorite soap so far, Duc de Santal by Henri et Victoria. It's made in Canada, Quebec to be precise, and J'aime les Francais Filles. It smells wonderful and quite masculine, and is very easy to achieve a great lather. I have tried the the triple milled pucks with little success.

Beautifully scented soap and a good performer for sure, but the price hike makes it not worth it for me anymore. At $21.50 CAD for 4oz it wasn't too hard to justify. The ingredient list is pretty simplistic, which is great in its own way, but I can get more soap with a nicer ingredient list with as good a scent if not better for less than the $26.50 it goes for now. Given that you mentioned the triple milled version, I do want to say that $35 CAD a puck is outrageous. While I can only assume that supply costs account for the $5 jump on the flagship soap, I can't imagine why any soap need cost $35 unless you're hand milking a unicorn to add to an already superfatted soap.

Henri et Victoria is awesome stuff. I have the Duc de Santal and also the Cognac and Cuban Cigars. I want to try more of their products. Not much of a burn with them. In fact, quite soothing.

Oh, wait! You're talking about their soaps. My mistake. Well, I can vouch for the scents which I assume would be consistent.

Have you tried sv soaps? If so how do they compare?

Duc de Santal and C&CC are two of my favorite scents in all of wet shaving.

The SV soaps are a noticeably more moisturizing post shave. That may be a benefit or a detriment depending on your skin.

SV scents tend to be more cologne-like and not as interesting or distinctive as Henri et Victoria. Ymmv.
