    Hi Lynn,

    wish you a nice an pleasant time.

    I just returned from Italy right now. I was near Perugia in Umbria wich is 1 1/2 hour away from Rome.

    I crawled through several street markets looking for "rasoio antiquo": no chance. I got the impression the Italians do not appreciate shavingwith straights. Even a large Knife Shop in Perugia presented a catalogue with a very poor selection of only one Knife. In Gubbio I went to a little shop in the ancient city ... they showed me a very simple Solingen made thing at the price of 50 Euro ... unbelievable.

    ... but Proraso is very cheap just 2,85 at Coop ...

    I guess you know ...

    Have a nice time

    Arnd
