Thread: The Seven Wonders

Let's see.

Contrary to the OP, I will post products that are currently not made.
The reason being they are of such a stellar quality that I find them impossible to forego.
That, and I still have plenty left

The Panama Boellis 1924? I was at the Mens Essentials store not far from me the other day and they have a few boxes sitting on the shelf?

I wondered about that too as The Italianbarber carries it too Shaving Creams and Soaps - Italian Barber Online Shaving Supplies .

My apologies.
The list I made is not completely made up of stuff no longer being made.
I should have made that clear.
The Boellis and a couple others are indeed still available.

That explains it perfectly but you never know at the rate products disappear these days what really is still available.

Great question Obie! These threads really get the AD's going! I'll give my list, although it's certainly subject to change on a whim. These will be products that I have, or would like to have again if I could acquire them. In no particular order:

1. Tabac Soap
2. Czech & Speake #88
3. Jabonman
4. Wet Shave Obsession Shave Soap (currently "un-obtanium")
5. XPec (Unscented - I let go of the scented version as it was a bit too heady for me - currently "un-obtanium")
6. Piccadilly Shave Co. Sandalwood Cream
7. Tough choice to fill the 7th as I have a 4-way tie for the last spot, so I'll leave blank for now.

I haven't tried many of the ones posted on the lists that I've read, and those that I've tried were only samples (MdC, for example) and unfortunately I can't commit to these soaps in my top 7 without further trial...

Ah well, I love this kind of polls

(1) Martin de Candre (the Lavender/Rosemary one)
(2) Baume.be
(3) Castle Forbes Lavender

After these three it becomes less clear
(4) Gentleman's Tonic
(5) Acca Kappa 1869 (not the almond one)
(6) Scottish Fine Soaps (shaving soap)
(7) Green Mountain Soap - Nick's Red Jacket

If it would still be made, Domenico Caraceni would be in there, definitely !

Funny the "original" is reformulated. If the new whatever it is is anything like the old whatever it was, then it deserves to be among the seven wonders.

Ron,
It absolutely does. I did not include it in my list, because at the time it was no longer available. Before I include the new formulation, though, I must test it.

Obie,

Out of sheer curiosity, might I ask how Le Pere Lucien missed the Seven Wonders mark? I recall you once thought it a worthy contender to MDC.
