Thanks Bill. I was thinking about the balm as well, but maybe later. Assuluta is great too and the only difference between it and the Colonia is that the latter has Black pepper and the former Bergamot...both great.

Congrats, Robert. In this moment I ordered a new Thiers Issard with barbers notch (from Martin Nienberg).

Thanks Tom and congratulations to you for buying the TI.

Thank you Mikael. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Shavemac (in fact, it is one of my favorite brand brushes), but it's German and it doesn't quite fit with an Italian Theme...but neither did the Trumper's, the strops, or the Thayer's WH, LOL.

What a nice shave Monroe. Can't beat the old Wacker...they deliver some of the most consistent shaves. The Creed is a fantastic scent.

That is one first class shave. The Montale is an $$$$ but amazing stuff. The Attar is another great one.

I like the way you think. Hmmmmm, what to do to keep this list classified, LOL? Shoot me a PM with your email address and I will email the list to you.
