Martin de Candre Original Shaving Soap 50g

The Original represents the canonical briefing—timeless, discreet, unfailingly effective. This 50g travel asset carries the understated freshness that has made Martin de Candre the operative's choice since the brand's establishment in 1974.

Fragrance Profile

The scent composes itself of essential oil accords of lavender, mint, and rosemary in elegant harmony. These aromatic notes remain subtle during use, providing a clean, refreshing atmosphere without distraction or olfactory intensity. The fragrance was formulated to deliver not only appeal but also gentle antiseptic and soothing properties—practical intelligence for the daily protocol. The balance between these three core notes creates a timeless freshness suitable for any operational circumstance.

Performance & Vegetable Oil Base

This soap lathers with exceptional density and minimal loading—a few brush swirls produce copious, stable lather with outstanding cushion and slickness. The formulation uses 100% vegetable oils (coconut and olive) through traditional saponification, delivering the reliable performance that field operatives require. The compact 50g format suits travel and fieldwork deployment whilst maintaining full performance equivalence with standard versions.
