Guess no one bit on your WTB post antdad, I have noticed that along with digging out the Prosaso splash I have also started using creams and soft soaps more often recently (hence the spatula thread), must be the warmer weather, or for us up here less colder. I have been using the samples I have been given/bought and racked for later and I am really enjoying the variety each day, when I last used the MDC (not much left now) the smell was still the stand out element for me.
As I said when I got it back in the winter the scent reminds me of holidays and while I still think I have better performing hard soaps such as Penns EF, when using it against other creams it holds its own against the best of them. It was a nice sunny day when I used it and I had a lovely refreshing shave, the spicy lavender was like a Vicks Sinex stick to my nasal passages, the lather was very slick and there was no dryness or tight skin after; overall a very pleasant shave.
Shaving is a journey for me and the hype surrounding the Fitjar creams got me going on another "must try" path, the MDC was another path and I am delighted to have tried it. I don't know if any of then are really "worth it" considering how good the shaves I have been getting from simple creams like Salter, TOBS and plain cheap shave sticks. Creams from these small volume manufacturers such as Fitjar and MDC are areas of exploration I have to try. Will I buy more? I honestly don't now but as long as there is another to try I will probably be in there for a sample or a pot if necessary regardless of financial sense and value for money.
