Martin de Candre Fougère Shaving Soap

Fougère shaving soap is built around the pattern that characterizes this olfactory family, namely lavandin , thyme and bergamot as top notes , geranium and patchouli as heart notes then oak moss. amber facets as base notes . The accords of Fougère MdC thus offer a fresh surge with a woody base : absolute beauty for a distinguished man...

How it's made: Saponified in a cauldron using exclusively vegetable oils , our shaving soap is the fruit of ancestral artisanal know-how , 100% made in France. Our entire range is vegan , nature and handmade in our workshop in Anjou (49) . Each shaving soap has benefited from drying for several months to consolidate the paste and refine their scent with essential oils. Thanks to this rest time, you will be able to savor their remarkable foam quality and their rich scent of character for a long time!

It is suitable for any skin type. It generates a rich lather with a small quantity. The Fougère shaving soap is presented in a modern and elegant crystal bowl of 200g with a screw on lid.

* Some advice from Martin de Candre on how to wet shave: 

  • Thoroughly wash your face with warm water for a couple of minutes.
  • Always rinse your shaving brush well under warm water after each use and gently flick out the excess water. Too much water and the lather will become runny and will dry out too quickly when applied to face.
  • Brush the shaving soap in a circular, whisking motion with the shaving brush until a rich lather forms. Do not press down on the bristles, as this may damage the brush - simply move in quick circular motions.
  • Now use the brush to apply the lather to your beard in small, gentle, circular motions or in gentle painting motions.
  • Experiment until you produce a good lather.
  • When finished quickly rinse the shaving soap bowl-like container under cold water to remove excess foam. Invert bowl so as to let soap drain and dry. Soap dries best when bowl is left open.

A good shaving soap used along with a shaving brush provides an extremely close shave making you feel clean and comfortable. How the mundane task of shaving turns into a morning treat !!!

Tips: Be sure to always drain your pot after use. For optimal preservation of the dough, we advise you to close the lid only when moving it.

Our shaving soap is particularly economical to use because you only need very little product to fill your shaving brush with creamy and generous foam. A 200g jar lasts at least one year for daily shaving

Received my sample of Fougere this morning. I wasn't sure if I'd like the scent or not since I'd read it has lavender (something I'm highly sensitive to) but it must be a very small amount because I didn't have a bad reaction and definitely couldn't smell it. What I did smell was sort of a non-descipt, grassy, "green" scent that I thought was quite nice. There was none of the damp, decaying vegetation scent that I've smelled in other brands of soaps - definitely a plus in my mind. Performance was typical MdC quality: plenty of rich lather with ample cushion and glide. Is it the greatest soap ever made? No, not really but it IS very nice, has a very nice scent profile and, from every review I've ever read, it lasts for a very long time making it more reasonably priced that it seems at first glance. I finished my shave with Fine's Fresh Vetiver AS splash and, while it's not a match, it complements it nicely. I've read B & M's Reserve Fern AS is closer to matching, I'll try that when I order my full size jar of Fougere. This and Agrumes are my favorite MdC scents and are, to me, well worth investing in.

Wow. Not only the best smelling fougère out there, but also the best performing vegan soap I’ve ever tried. You won’t be disappointed. And the samples last a very long time as well.

There are other artisans that perform as well/better, but this scent is the GOAT. If I was forced to sell all my soaps and only keep one, it'd be this one.

No better than B&M Glissant or Wholly Kaw Donkey / Bufala.
