    Great write up, Frank, and nice haul!

    It's very cool that your daughter joined you and helped select the soaps.

    Thanks everyone. I couldn't have thought of a better way to spend leading up to Fathers Day than this time with my daughter.

    It was special.

    It's an awesome store. We went last fall and spent a good bit of time there. It's overwhelming.

    Then took the long way home, stopped in Brooklyn at Spumoni for a square slice!

    Well, no, that will not be enough Paul.

    My wife and I were visiting friends in Saratoga and decided we would stop by Pasteur's on our way back to Long Island. Well, we purchased a lot less but the bill still topped $277.

    We purchased this time:
    Stirling Almond Creme and a Stirling Brush as a gift for our friends
    Oleo Mellonade (watermellon and lemon scented - excellent soap)
    PannaCrema Blu
    The Last I Coloniali Mango they had in stock
    SV Manna Di Sicilia
    L&L Grooming Southern Paradise
    PdP Original and 63 scents
    Uncle Jon's Tatitian Dreams
    Plus a Soap Command bath bar for my daughter. She just loves SC bath bar scents and they do last a long time as well.

    All are fantastic soaps and have great scents. I find that place to be impossible to come out of without buying several things.

    I don't need to. Everytime I shave, my wife and daughter use the leftover cream and love that I have so many soaps. I think I am now up to 65 different soaps. It has become a family hobby. My daughter loves to help me select which soap to use next and helps me decide which to buy. It is awesome to share this experience with them.
