Lavender. Lots and lots of lavender. I opened my new jar near my wife, an ex-soapmaker, and she exclaimed..."whoa, that's lavender. I love lavender".
It's actually the ONLY thing I don't care for about MdC. Not a lavender enthusiast. Others have described a Petrol smell, but not a whiff of that do i get.

Shipping cost accounts for a big chunk of the cost (which is annoying). Most people justify the costs based on longevity. It is a solid performer, but so are many other soaps. If it was widely available for $8 in a plastic tub, I suspect there wouldn't be nearly as much hype surrounding it.

tallow doesn't mean a good soap, no tallow doesn't mean a bad soap,.. i think the only tallow i have here that i like is my mwf, all the rest are veggie based, i pick products by how they work, not there ingrediants, you may miss out on some great stuff or end up using something not very good MdC isn't my favorite scent, but it does work great for sure

It's a soap I really don't mind paying the big bucks for. Because it's made up to a quality and not down to a price. Too often in this world today we settle for price. I get so tired of seeing that happen.
Yes, it's expensive and I choked a bit before spending the $, but my only regret is that I didn't buy 2 since I was already paying shipping. Next time, it's 2.
Tip to others, get at least 2. You'll have no problem selling them if you don't like it.

Always love seeing barbershop shaves, it's a shame that it has become a dying art. My guess is, it's because of the cost. Where I live, a barber shave costs anywhere from $30-$50, which makes it more of a 'really special occasion thing' versus something most men can afford once or twice a month, or even when getting their hair cut. Tough to justify spending $50 when I can get the same results for 25 cents doing it myself.
