Does anyone kow if Caswell Massey is a company like Trumpers that readily gives samples upon request? We might want to ask for samples. MikeB

The No. 6 is still made and you can still buy it. I'd love to get some one of these days. I'm a big, big fan of George Washington, I think it would EXTREMELY cool to walk around smelling like George Washington. You know, you can get an idea of what he looked like from early portraits, but to be able to see (smell) what he smelled like is cool.

That's pretty cool.

I wear Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet which was worn by Winston Churchill, I think it's pretty neat to wear the same as a previous VIP in history. I might have to look out No6 too sometime, and start a "world leaders" collection.

That's pretty neat. We ought to compile a list of who used what, razors, cologne, etc.

This might be interesting when you get to Stalin, Hitler and the like ---- maybe disturbing.
