  1. Default Institut Karite or Provence Sante?

    Which and why?

    Cool

    I love my Provence Sante (it is easily in my top five). I want very much to try IK, but so far I've never gotten hold of any.

    Provence Sante is great soap (right behind Tabac). IK is next on my list of things to try,
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.

    i prefer to have both the PdP and the IK, however if i had to pick one, it would be the IK. no questions asked. both of which are better than the Sante in my opinion.

    It is the other way around for me... I'd like to try Provence Santé, but have yet to get any.

    I've only tried Provence Sante and wasn't too impressed with it.

    Both are good soaps, but I would personally go with Pre de Provence...it is easier to come by and it offers much more bang for the buck, as the soap is about 50% larger than IK and Sante. I've also found the shave quality to be better.

    +1 Excellent value, and great moisturizing lather. Provence Sante is nice too. I haven't yet but plan to try IK sometime in the next couple months.

    shavingessentials.net carries PdP, PS, and IK... could just get all 3.

    Of course it's dark, it's a suicide note.
