    My wife wants me to identify a really luxurious shaving soap she can include among my Christmas presents. No price limit!
    Any suggestions?

    Penhaligons and AOS soaps are both a tad pricey but both very good

    Martin de Candre would be my first choice, one of the best soaps I've ever used. Xpec is also a good choice, particularly with the matching A/S lotion, but it's more of a hard cream despite being sold as a shaving soap.

    Regards,

    Creed, Acqua di Parma or I Coloniali.

    Related question, but slightly off topic; sorry: Who sells Martin de Candre in the US?

    For Martin de Candre e-commerce click here

    Very expensive products but also very authentic Provence products, I think that they are real artisans of soap,...In the french forums about the shave everybody likes this soap more than any other, but it's not as known as l'Occitane, and they sell premium quality soap only, not fashion tins for shoap or fine wood bowls.....ohhhh well I'm wrong they sell a wood bowl with soap :sick007
