Congratulations Bassguy, great news indeed.

- A Hot Shower,
- Proraso Crema PRE e Dopo Barba con Olio di Eucalipto e Mentolo,
- FS Richmond Finest Badger Faux Ivory Handle,
- Hen & Rooster, 6/8, extra full hollow grind, singing,
- Super = Proraso SS + SC,
- Osma Bloc,
- Proraso Crema Pre e DOPO Barba con Olio di Eucalipto e Mentolo,
- Proraso Dopobarba AS con Mentolo e Alantoina.

When I entered the Den, I heard a voice in my head - loud and clear:
"You're gonna go GREEN today! Capisci?".
And he told me something else, to...
It was Don Proraso...
You don't ignore Don Proraso when he's talking to you!
So, I'm asking you - what was I supposed to do...?
Nothing...
He made me an offer I couldn't refuse...!
So - there it is... Some green stuff... Just like the voice told me...
What would you guys do in my place...
