    Default Calypso and Calabria Bombs

    I've been after an awesome soap/cream for a while. My first was Trumpers lime. I liked it but wanted to also check out what else is out there. So I picked up and tried Proraso cream,Taylor of old bond street soap, Pre de province soap, Truefitt & hill soap, Mitchell's woolfat, and a few others. I kept going back to the Trumpers as that gave me the best results. I then after reading a few praises about AlRaz's Bomb went ahead an ordered a couple. Calypso (Bay rum) and Calabria (bergamot) . Once they came in I gave the Calabria a shot and let me just say I was floored! This stuff couldn't have been this good. It must have been a fluke. Next day I tried the Calypso and damn if it wasn't just as good. I'm telling you they knocked my socks off! First, they seem to have an amazing ability to just explode into lather whether in a bowl or right on your face. Second, the lather stays nice and moist keeping relathering to a minimum. Third, It rinses from the blade exceptionally well (call me anal but that really gets on my nerves). Fourth, the lather on your brush goes for miles. It's very easy to overload the brush and end up wasting cream. Fifth, most will find they don't need a moisturizing balm after their shave as this soap seriously helps with that as well. Al I can't even start to explain just how stoked I am about "The Bomb". I am officially cured of my S.A.D. If anyone has read of the Bomb before and just blown it off thinking "maybe some other time", I highly suggest you rethink it and give it a shot immediately. Give Alraz a hollar and get Bombed. You won't be sorry.

    Yes I too agree, I got the Sweet Neroli and the Saigon. Lovely stuff. Plus he throws in some samples which are always welcome. Good business sense. I will be ordering some more in the future and will have to try out some of of the other fragrances. have a nice day..
