UKRob said:M de C is by far the best soap I have - amongst about twenty makes including all the main names from Europe. From memory it's the only French one I have and eventually I'll use it every day regardless of price i.e. as other soaps re used they will not be replenished. If it ever gets to a stage where I begin the question it's value, I'll just forego a couple of beers one week and soon be back on track.

I'm with Rob on this. Sticking to MdC which is what I should have done years ago. It gives me the best shave I have ever experienced, so why look for an alternative? Only one I will have extra stock of is the Palmolive Shave Stick for when I'm travelling.

Nope, but I have put a serious dent in one of the older size jars in the original scents. This was purely through usage and not by cutting pieces out to give as freebies or samples.

The only con to this shaving soap would be that you can finish one in two months, but i didnt see it as a con.
I agree with you that Monsavon is a good performer, it's just the scent that puts me off, just a bit too much of a toilet cleaner smell for my nose.

Just as long as it's the soap and not that awful cream in the tube, very disappointing.

Before postage it's about £34 for 200 gm so definitely on the expensive side. Looking at the only other expensive soap that I've tried, Creed refill is about £25 for 150 gm therefore £33 for the equivalent weight. Unfortunately the Creed just did not perform with my water so, in terms of performance, there's no comparison.
I would estimate a jar of MdeC will probably be good for 200 shaves so a daily cost of say 20 pence with postage - I can think of worse ways to spend money.

Just had a look at this and got a bit of a twitch. Are Creed doing a refill now for their shaving soaps? Last I saw they had the soap in a bowl and otherwise that was it. I have not seen a refill for the shaving soap as such, but have definitely seen a bath soap in a lot more scents than the shaving soap.
Does anyone know for sure if this has recently changed?
