    Just a heads up. Group buys are ok via pm just not via the forum, unless organised by SRP.

I got a tidy up shave and got some ABC soap from there.

    It looks like they missed a bit to me

    Everyone raves about Martin de Candre soaps and as far as I know, it's very difficult to get them down here.
    If you can afford it, stock up as much as you can !!

    There are more than a few forumites based in Brisbane and Queensland,
    so you will not have a problem getting your new Thiers-Issard honed if you have to.
    Good to have a mentor or a group if you desire that as well.

    My Mum lives in Killarney, which is about 40 minutes drive from Warwick and
    an hours drive from Toowoomba.
    I visit most every Chrissy, so there is a chance to catch up.

    Don't forget to introduce yourself in the "Downunder" sub forum !

    Bongo.
    SNAP!!!! Bongo,
    My Mum was born in Killarney


    To the OP,
    I was born in Toowoomba.
    If I can help and you are coming down the hill, shoot me a PM and we'll work something out.

    Wecome aboard my friend. If you are going to be in italy for awhile, you should contact razorguy :

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/members/razorguy.html

    & see if he can take you to meet the great Mastro Livi.
    The man is awesome & razorguy went to see him & had him make some straight razor's for him. I wish so much I could make it over there because I too would love to meet Mastro Livi & his son in person who is also doing the same kind of work!
    Enjoy your vacation & try to see if you can meet the great Mastro Livi. It is a dream of mine!
    Good luck.
