what is the most concentrated soap?

By concentrated I mean need the least amount of product to complete a 3 pass shave. NO CREAMS!

 

MDC

 

Folks know what i'll probably say. This is one reason a 200g jar of the stuff is supposed to last a year with daily use. (See Lou's post above mine)...

 

See Lou's post, and Kevin's post and my post. MdC.

 

Yes, MDC wins this one hands down. It is unbelievable stuff that goes and goes and goes. The first thing people say that have not used it is, that's too much dinero! Then when they get the big container they realize it aint so bad. When you use it 10 times and the jar is still full, you really understand what a great deal it really is. Oh, did I mention it is a heavy glass jar LOL. I guess it is obvious that I love the stuff

 

Valobra was pretty potent as well, from what I recall in using a puck of it.
From June of this year: Valobra Fougére

 

Here's another vote for MDC.

 

I agree it's definitely MdC.

 

Maybe I should save up and buy a jar!

 

Me too.

 

I emailed them and asked them how much shipping costs. I forgot to specify what I wanted to buy hahaha so I'm waiting for their second reply =)

 

I am hoping Santa aka my mum will buy me a jar for Christmas. I better start dropping some hints.

 

What doe MDC stand for? (I'm probably not the only one that doesn't know)

 

It stands for Martin de Candre shaving soap. Considered by many to be the most expensive and best shaving soap you can buy. It is also good value for money. The claim is you can use this soap every day and it will last over a year

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

I have never used them and know nothing about their prices or store policies. However, you can buy MDC here in the states directly. This store sells it.

 

How would she else know where and what to buy for you for Christmas =)

I'll be saving some money. A little at a time. Then it might not feel like much

 

Best? Arguably true.
Most expensive?
Czech & Speake No. 88 shave soap will cost you a bit more —

MdC $42/130g jar= 32¢/gram
MdC $60/200g jar= 30¢/gram
MdC $75/230g wood bowl = 32¢/gram
C&S $38/90g refill = 42¢/gram
C&S $53/ 90g wood bowl = 58¢/gram
C&S $160/90g anodized dish = $1.77 gram

 

Is the C&S any good?

 

I've not had the opportunity to try it so I can't comment on it's price vs performance value.
C&S's price makes reviews of it even more scarce than for MdC....
One of the few C & S reviews I found speaks more of the container than the soap itself...

"Wow...this is amazing..a real work of metal art...not at all what I thought..machined from solid stock... something you will treasure for a lifetime...a bit costly but each to their own. If you can appreciate functional art this is for you...lovely soap included...believe me this is the Ultimate soap dish for the serious collector and you just won,t want to put it down..heavy weight quality ...just never seen or held anything like it...highly recommended."
