Performance Profile

Handcrafted using Martin de Candre's traditional French hot-process method and made exclusively from vegetable oils, Absinthe effortlessly creates a dense, creamy lather with exceptional razor glide and superior protection. Despite its compact size, the highly concentrated formula requires only a small amount of soap per shave, allowing the 50g travel jar to last approximately 4–6 months of daily shaving while delivering the same legendary performance as its full-sized counterpart. 

A Word from the Artisan

Every Martin de Candre shaving soap is handcrafted in the Loire Valley of France using traditional artisanal soap-making techniques that have remained virtually unchanged for decades. Slowly saponified in a cauldron and naturally cured, each batch reflects exceptional French craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to quality. Directions for Use

Using a damp shaving brush, load the soap for approximately 20–30 seconds before building lather in a shaving bowl or directly on the face. Gradually add water until a dense, glossy lather develops. After shaving, allow the soap to air dry completely before replacing the lid.
