    I find the thought of a product that I don't ingest being caffeinated quite intriguing. It will be interesting to see if it has any appreciable difference from one of your normal creams or soaps.

    That's what I was thinking. I'm really interested in this stuff. It's done by Pacific Shaving Company, if you're familiar with them.

    Just in! One of these should be able to challenge the current go-tos. Thanks to Jason at tryablade.com for having all three and operating with the lowest int'l shipping cost I have come across from the U.S. (Not that these were particularly heavy, though..)

    Sounds like a great score. For some reason there seems to be a lot of them around this month.

    I know. I'm getting the 5th tomorrow. He said if I bought 5 he'd sell them for $10 each

    TOBS is always a lather monster for me, you should be pleased with it.

    Wow, is that Bolzano from before the manufacturing moved to Germany?
    These blades have been one of the most popular in Italy for about 100 years.
    Later on they moved manufacturing to Germany and Feintechnik (that also make/made blades like Croma, Elios and Merkur).

    Wow, quite a steal. The Boker Tree brand looks, to my untrained eye, to have some damage.

    Afraid not; they are German made. I believe they remain popular in Italy, though, and are still distributed by an Italian company. According to Italianbarber.com, production moved some decades ago but the Italians remain in close supervision. All claim that they are hard to come by, but from googling, this doesn't seem correct.

    @Misphit I will make sure to post about my experience!

    It's a St. Regis. I thought it was but closer look, its solid, smooth and actually looks like it was made that way, or it was repaired that way.

    But I saw in person. I'm having a similar issue with the duck I sent to Glen. I need him to tell me if it can be saved because I can't tell

    Well, best of luck and if anyone can save it I bet it's Glen.
