Group-buy: Martin de Candre - *Update See Post 74*

[pezdaddy]

Can't believe it went that fast (and can't believe I missed it this afternoon when I was on).

Oh well. I just got on my wife for buying 20 dollar face lotion. She would of killed me if I pulled the trigger on this one.

I can't believe I missed this!! I actually tried to contact the MdC folks for a group buy a few weeks ago, but never heard back. Please have another run! Good luck with the wedding!

I ordered a few weeks back and got my 'box' today. Now I know why they charge so much for shipping. Huge, sturdy box densely packed with foam nuts -- all with a lovely lavender/mint bouquet. I guess it's because of the glass containers? They are easily the heaviest and strongest scented soap I've ever handled.

Can't wait to use it in the morning . . . which brings me to my post. I ordered the max product for the fixed shipping charge. I got 2 each of the scented 170 g jar and the scented 50 g travel jar. I plan to keep 1 of each size and post the other 2 on BST tomorrow. Just thought I'd give the guys here who missed the group buy a shot at MdC goodness. Keep your eyes open . . .

I can't believe I missed this. I just contacted the mods a few days ago about the possibility of a MDC group buy. I'm really bummed that I didn't see this.

[drandall]

i can't believe i missed out on this. the only consolation is that i have a jar already...but certainly not at that price. if there is a round 2, i want in.

i needs me a taste. just one more little taste.

Man I have to keep my eyes peeled

Just an update. Tried to make the purchase last night and this morning. There seems to be an issue with MdC's checkout system. Seems to load a blank page after when you try to move past the delivery information page. I've contacted MdC and will let you know when I get a response.

[Drybonz]

Man... people want this soap so bad... if a US vendor could get a contract with MDC somehow they would bank.

[Noswad]

Wow, this really went fast. Hope there will be a round two. I would even be willing to prepay some to make it not as large a financial outlay for the buyer.

@ nole1 Congrats and best wishes on the upcoming wedding.

[whitebar]

Sure seems like there are enough of us who wanted this but missed out. How would we go about putting together a second group buy?

[Ru4scuba?]

I'm well on my way to finishing 2011 sans shave purchase...but I may ask for this for a New Years (2012) gift LOL....wanted some of this for a long time!

[mdevine]

I was sick yesterday and missed this one. I'm among the many who are hoping for a round two.

[closer]

I too, noticed this thread after it was already oversubscribed. Would like to get in on round 2, if there is one.

[MasterP]

Me too.

[Puff]

Add one more

[kbuzbee]

amazing - 11 commitments for $50 soap - in two hours.


ain't we something?

Sheesh, two hours? What's a guy gotta do to get some soap around here?

Congrats to all who got in on this. Hope to hear some good reports.

[flipperz]

I'm in

Must check Shaving Soap forum more often.

Maybe I'll organize a group buy for Sir William of Combe if people are interested...

People that reside outside North America have actually asked US members to purchase Williams for them and ship it overseas. You could actually get a few takers on that offer. Not me, unfortunately (I find Williams to make a weak lather and feel drying on the skin -- and I live in Michigan and can get it at any drug store).

[truegreen]

Boy this soap must be really good. Someday, I would like to try this too!

I had the same problem over the weekend. I also placed an inquiry with MDC. They had it fixed this morning.
