I will never have him pick it up at the airport.

Mine in the glass jar ended up about $64 total shipped. Honestly it is worth it as I think it is the best non-tallow soap there is. Though you really need to try it to know for sure before dropping the bucks. If you need a sample shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to send you some.

fonthunter,

That's a beautiful example of Hart steel you have there.

Robert,

I have the Opus 1870 and the Blenheim Bouquet.

I agree--both of the Penhaigon fragrances that I got from Phil are outstanding.

cycleu,

Gotta love those Dovos...I suppose that since they were the very first straight razors that I ever owned, I have a special place in my heart for them

I wish that I owned a "Special" w/ the faux Tortoise scales.

Cheers...
