Result: Absolutely incredible. I'd heard a lot about the Domenico Caraceni. So much that I spent a lot of time on my trip to Italy searching high and low to find it. I was not successful. Thankfully, a friend from here on the forums was generous enough to share this wonderful product. I now know why it gets such impressive consideration. It's consistency was not as hard as I expected based on other Italian products, but right out of the gate, it whipped up into a phenomenal lather. And the scent is truly intoxicating. I did three full passes and never felt like the blade touched my face. Absolutely stupendous!He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

Just a head shave tonight, and I took my sweet time with it.
3 passes and its probably the closest I've been to a BBS on the head. Shiny smooth and feeling good.
The warm weather is kicking in here, and the menthol balm felt fantastic at the end of a hot day.
