I have been using MDC religiously every shave for the last few months (fougere scent). But rose is my favorite scent ever and I have been hard pushed to find a great rose scented soap. I don't like lanolin or tallow in my soaps (bad skin reaction) and I find Trumpers rose soap no good. I have even been toying with the idea of getting the unscented MDC and adding rose essential oil. But now I may not have to. I also thought of going back to creams to satisfy my rose obsession - Trumpers, Taylors, T&H, Salter all great scents but I prefer soaps now.
Today, after months of trying, a 98g tin of Le Pere Lucien Rose de Pushkar arrived, and I just had my first shave with it. My goodness this stuff is fantastic! The packaging (tin) is great, the scent is to die for (for me, ymmv) and the performance, from the lather, glide, slickness that whole darn experience was just wonderful.
Anyone else used this stuff? I posted on another thread that it was my second best (favorite) soap, not bad since I have only owned a tin of it a couple of hours. :001_rolle
I find the lathering a little tougher than MDC however I attribute that to the fact that its such a small tin. I have 2 wishes in life now, one that MDC comes out with a rose scented soap, and two LPL makes the rose in a larger tin (200g would be nice).
Thoughts everyone? And any tips on how to get a better lather?
