If MONEY was no object, what Soap would you buy & use?

[DesertIguana]

Weeell... Buy a Saponificio Varesino soap and you'll understand.

Lots of folk love that brand I can not ever say the NAME OF, I call it SV Soap.

MdC is not in my price range., I am frugal.

Do you think MDC is expensive ?
I think it is initially but over the course of time it takes to finish i don’t think it is.
I don’t know anyone who’s used one from start to finish even over a period of time but i reckon you could shave daily for over a year with the same jar

If we talk price per number of shaves, MdC, SV and generally all the genuine hard soaps are the cheapest on the market. If we talk initial price regardless of the number of shaves, Arko is the cheapest.

Because some of them are better than ToOBS and DR Harris and even MWF when I could get it to work for me.

We can agree to disagree, then.

 

[Pedigree]

I’ve used several pucks of HR Harris and a couple of creams, at least 5 pucks of MWF and one tub of ToOBS cream and even after ‘mastering’ / optimising them they are still not as good as B&M, Mike’s or A&E. So I’ve invested more than enough time before coming to my conclusion

That's your opinion and I beg to differ. But, to each their own.

Thanks for the recommendation but I'll be sticking with the traditional British soaps with a history and tradition behind them.

Maggard's ask $70.00 for 200 GRAMS..........YES pricy, yes I understand it last, is it a GREAT DEAL............Depending upon what your definition of GREAT DEAL IS?

I thought your definition is cost per shave, no?

$70 is generally the standard selling point afaik in North America. Subscribe to Maggard’s and Pasteur’s emails for their sale coupons. 15% off MdC is pretty significant.

The Serbian Albus cube soap has 120+ years of tradition behind it but it still isnt better than SV. So tradition isn't much without constant development... I'm not saying it's longer than the British brands, but SV has 81 years, so not insignificant. And i guarantee it could be love at first lathering.

Being blunt I do not like Pastur's in NYC, their customer service is awful in the one dealing I had with them. Maggard’s has good customer service, oncer in a while a sale, and last they sell samples. $70.00 is very pricy for a jar of Soap, IMHO, if you got the Green go for it.

I have $90.00 Pending in my Checking from Social Security, a Medicare Refund thank to POTUS.

Have a good day

Maggard does 10% often never seen 15%, that is a GREAT DEAL.

In the real world most modern Soaps are perfectly good to use, do their job well, some people like one brand over another. It's a personal choice.

Reminds me of another scene in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, " Ulysses Everett McGill: “Well, ain’t it a small world, spiritually speaking? Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I’m the only one that remains unaffiliated.”

I am playing Everett's role when it comes to debates over a bar of soap...LOL!!

Just notice there is a New or Old Shave Supply launched in UK, the funny thing is they have several Made in U.s.a. Soap they are selling. I asked self how could this be, their people in UK that are now for many super soap are selling Shave Soap made in Am Erica.

Believe this is what we use to call the AFAR THEORY, and the furtherer away product is made people want more. Sort of like bring an Expert in to Solve a Problem, if they come from across the Globe, they are the EXPERT from AFAR.
