    Thank you, sir!

    Thanks, @AlfredoT . I never received a good explanation as to why the soap is called Matteo 9,11. In my Bible, Matthew 9:11 refers to the Pharisees ridiculing Jesus for eating with sinners. Yet, Abbate y La Mantia insists the referenced scripture is about the Magi arriving at the Bethlehem nativity (which is consistent with the art on the label). In my bible, that is Matthew 2:11. I assumed I was missing something given the Italian language, so I asked for clarification. They insisted 9:11 was the correct reference.

    Not many, here, read the Bible.
    From a quick check in Italian, it seems you are right.
    But I maight someone much more an expert: will let you know.

    But, Bible aside, the shot is very nice and if it performs... who cares?

    EDIT
    This site, in the meantime, shoud be a reliable one and you are right!

    Tobacco Reserve is now discontinued, Sergio. I suggest picking up a bottle before they become ridiculously expensive.

    Shame on me!
    I didn't realize it's the Tobacco reserve: I thought it was the 'normal' one...

    I have been disappointed by every poroduct promising tobacco fragrance: they are too sweet for my nose and, most ot the time, they have too much vanilla in them.
    I do not understand what's vanilla got to see with tobacco...
    Maybe when they'll make a Latakia Tobacco scent... ;)

    Checked with the expert.

    You are definitely right.
    In Matthew, Jesus childhood cannot be in chapter 9!
    The Magi delivering presents to the new born Baby is 2:11.
    And have also been confirmed that the site whose link I annexed you is reliable.
    Therefore a shot of the page should bring to a conclusion!

    Matthew 1 - AyLM 0!

    John Beeman Little chicken in hot water

    Christmas 2020:

    hot shower with Crabtree & Evelyn Moroccan Myrrh bar soap
    Maggard Grapefruit PSO
    Q Shave Adjustable (3.5) 3 passes
    Personna Super Platinum (2)
    Crabtree & Evelyn Moroccan Myrrh cream in a warm bowl
    Ever-Ready boar
    TSD Frankincense & Myrrh WH
    TSD Frankincense & Myrrh A/S

    First shave with my newly acquired Q Shave (Futur clone) adjustable. A very nice tool. I like the weight and balance. The head is a little big but not obtrusive. I set it in the middle (three and a half) and got some great audible feedback. The strokes were very smooth even over difficult terrain. Next shave will be at a higher setting.

    Merry Christmas fellow shavers!
