Martin de Candre Artisan Shaving Soap Samples
Created in 1974, the traditional soap factory Martin de Candre decided to promote one of its specialties which became more and more demanded and searched for:
The Shaving Soap. A product entirely fabricated at the factory with a paste like consistency. It is manufactured through a saponification process of 100% vegetal oils (olive, coconut) and potash (alkali).
This shaving soap turns into an abundant foam which “sticks” to the skin : Applied on the face, it turns into a smooth and unctuous cream like substance.
Saponification made with heat action, in the traditional way in Martin de Candre atelier, with 100% vegetal and potash oils. Thanks to its 40 years of experience, they guarantee a perfected process. This process allows excellent keeping of the soap without needing any conservatives. A luxurious, efficient and long-lasting product.
NOTE: Martin de Candre Soaps are extremely hard, and tend to "crumble" due to their extreme density and lack of water content. This means a sample of MdC might last 10+ shaves; but, it's a challenge to transfer it from your sample container into the bottom of a bowl/mug. This CAN be transferred with some effort. Just pack it down hard onto your mug/bowl with the back of a thick/sturdy spoon.
- Each container is hand packed by a member of Maggard Razors.
- Each 1/4oz jar will be filled approximately to the bottom of the threads.
- The sample will be enough for several shaves!
