For more than 40 years, Martin de Candre has manufactured the finest handmade shaving soaps in the world in Marseille, France. At Martin de Candre, everything is made with a very manual and long process, everything is weighed by hand and manually processed because this is the right way to create the best shaving soap in the world.

Manufactured by a hot saponification process without the addition of any preservatives other than vegetable oils and potassium, the soap is scented by essential oils while it is still hot. The long drying/aging process after this steps takes around 4 to 5 months and creates a very dense soap with an exceptional scent and composition.

The soap has a remarkable longevity and a 200g jar will last for over a year for a typical daily wet shaver.

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.
