Is there any way to purchase this soap from a USA dealer? When I tried to purchase it in France, the postage was going to be almost as expensive as the soap.

Hi James,
Do a search and you should find your answer. There have been a few threads about this mystical soap. I think the answer is that there is no way to buy it without paying the $25 or so shipping.

I searched before I posted. That is why I posted. I was hoping that someone would tell me there was a way to buy this soap without paying the outrageous shipping fees.
Yeah I think you have to pay the $34 shipping, but you can load up to 2 kg in the order. I've heard it is an excellent soap, but it does not warrant the cost of shipping.

It's too bad some of our venders haven't worked a say to stock this product. Oh well.
They show up once in a while on BST at reasonable prices by comparison. There was one on SMF not too long ago.

I'll keep my eye out.
The SMF folks banned me, I suspect, because I mentioned B&B, in an exchange wherein I felt I had taken the ethical high road. No communication or PM exchange with a mod. Nothing. Simply blocked. Of course that's simple to overcome, but not worth it to me. The differences in the groups is huge and I am really happy to be active here.
Thanks for your thoughts.
i really want to try this stuff and might decide to finally order some toward the end of next month as an early present for myself.
Their loss.

I received a sample in a PIF, and I love it. I sure wish I could get some more.
They have but the manufacturer doesn't care about distributing in the US.
What's SMF?
SMF = shavemyface.com
Oh...haven't visited their website in a while. Do they not like B&B over there?
I recently got a PIF (sample) of this soap, and it's wonderful stuff. I've been really wanting to get a full order, and would certainly consider buying some... hint, hint!
So the people who make soap are responsible for deporting? Just like I could stop buying from USA for numerous reasons, but I don't.
Anyway, MdC is a great soap and it's worth trying out, I've received a sample and it's a great shaver. I'm not a big fan of the scent (lavender + mint).
Since you can get up to 2kg, you should do a group buy with other members. If you split the $34 (from what I recall) 5 or 6 ways, it becomes much more reasonable.
Actually, one of you younger guys that lives in a world capital needs to start dating a woman at the French embassy. They probably get goodies shipped over from the homeland on a regular basis.
Of course, then you've got to share. The Martin de Candre, I mean. Not the French woman. But that would be okay, too.

Not at all. Many B&B members are also members at SMF. One of our Mods here Mods at SMF. Maybe that's why we call him the King!
In general there is a lot of "cross pollination" of membership across all the shaving forums.

That's what I thought...I go over there from time to time too.

I found it dramatically different at SMF than here at B&B. In fact my account there was blocked when I commented on what I saw as an ethical issue and referenced B&B favorably in that context.
There is little doubt that I unknowingly stepped on toes, but the only notification I ever saw was when my account was blocked.
B&B feels like home; communication among good people. The other place felt like a war zone to me.
