Thinking of trying the Martin de Candre soaps, any recommendations to try please chaps?
Thank you so much for your reply, really appreciate it.I have ordered two 200gr batches with an action of one of the shops posting on our Dutch Forum This was the final order result, i chose both of the most popular options.
I do have to mention that the Agrumes was not available for direct delivering, and the shipping of all was hold up until a batch of those was 'ripe' enough to use.

Thank you so much.They all perform the same so it's entirely down to your taste in scents.
Original is lavender - It's very strong and smells like a tar roof to me.
Fougere is "fern like" - Widely accepted as one of the best shaving soap fougeres available.
Rose is a mixture of rose and benzoin - The benzoin resin imparts something which spoils the scent for me.
Vetiver is, well, vetiver! Dirty Haitian grass scent.
Agrumes is citrus, the only one I've not tried for fear of Arko style citronella.
I would strongly advise buying a sample of each from Shavedash before spending out on a 200g jar as the scents are not universally loved. My personal favourite is vetiver but I have to be in the mood for it.
Very high, but the price is steep..This is yet another (adding to an ever growing list!) soap I want to try. Might try a sample to begin with. How do these rate regarding slickness and cushioning?
Do you still have to order direct?
