Gents,
A pal of mine asked me to use Martin De Candre to see what I thought since my lathering technique has changed so much over the last 6-8 months.
I thought to myself, “Interesting...I haven’t used MDC in forever! See how it goes!”
So MDC preciously was cemented in my top five, and I thought very highly of it. However, as my way of lathering has changed...I just was getting such great results with Sebum, Santa Maria Novella, Mystic Water, Long Rifle, Haslinger (tallow), vintage Brooks Brothers, etc...that MDC was essentially sold off and the two I kept (Fougere and Vetyver) sat forgotten at the bottom of a drawer.
At any rate, what an interesting little experiment. The lather was superlative, and I kept thinking that it was superior. The next question I asked myself was, “Superior to what?” The answer I came up with is that MDC is damn near superior to pretty much everything, and that it gets props for being old school and staying true to itself.
I guess I need to dust off the Fougere as well!
