    I think it is from somewhere before this but here is where I know it from...

    The movie "Evolution". Delivered by Orlando Jones.

    great googly moogly
    Utterance of great surprise. Common in blues songs, made more popular by Frank Zappa in the song "Nanook Rubs It" from Apostrophe in 1974.

    blanka I will not eat my shaving products. Promise.

    There was even a local Kansas City Chiefs commercial years ago (before Evolution came out, i think) where an old man exclaimed "Great Googly Moogly" after painting the wrong wording on the football field.

    I agree that on the performance, most folks are favorable and the truly disgruntled folks are few. Even so, there's a range of opinions on that other board with the animal between pretty good and OMG best soap ever! Opinions on the scent (and descriptions of it) are a little more varied over at that website. That's my take anyway, which is why I want to get them in my hands and see for myself!

    This is where I remember it from. (from when my son used to watch this, not me :D) At the end of the theme song ferocious beast says it as he does at least once in each episode.

    I have the mentolipto, it is a fantastic tallow soap. Out of all my mentholated soaps its on the weaker end, which disappointed me. It still gets used because its lovely lather, just don't expect a face freezer. Scent kind of reminds me of candy canes lol.

    my vendor said the same thing, but I really want to try a razorock, so I guess I will add a lil drop of M-bomb than. :D

    Gave my neighbor a tub of Don Marco. He liked it so much that I ended up giving him my bottle of Don Marco ASB as well!

    So I received my shipment a couple days ago. First suprise, I was expecting to see blocks in tubs like most of RazoRock's other offerings, these were poured in like creams. Second surprise was that the scents were very mild. I'm used to soaps having very little scent and creams having a lot of scent. I guess I should not have been surprised to find these croaps somewhere in the middle. The two flower scented ones were the strongest smelling of the four, but I liked the green tobacco the best. Unfortunately something in my skin didn't like it the first time I shaved with it. I'm hoping that was a fluke. It was a peculiar burning sensation that felt like razor burn, but when I looked, there was no redness or swelling. A second rinse seemed to solve the problem, so I'm wondering if it was a reaction between the soap residue and my old spice classic aftershave. I have shaved several times with the Sandalwood and been very happy with it.

    Regardless, these soaps lather very well, release their aroma when lathered with warm or hot water, produce consistant lather and cushion, and in every way perform exactly as I would expect a premium shave product to perform. Hats off to Italian Barber, you've gained a customer for life!

    Yes, and I'll add that the aroma becomes deeper and more complex when lathered with cold water too as I'm a cold water shaver. I've not found another product that leaves my face feeling as good as these soaps do. The LaFam soaps make my face feel better than even MWF, Mike's Natural Soaps, and TABAC do; and those 3 are top notch for sure!

    It's interesting that you mention those because they enjoy a very high reputation for slickness and moisturizing properties. I found the LaFam soaps to be slightly less moisturizing than The Body Shop Maca Root Shave Cream, which just reaffirms my belief that it is one of the best creams out there. I would rather use LaFam and Maca Root Cream than Trumper's creams or soaps. (I almost can't believe I just said that.) Trumper's wins in the fragrance dept. but who buys a cream or soap based on it's smell alone?

    Use the LaFam soaps regularly and you'll notice better moisturizing ability. I think the high quality coconut oil has some detox abilities that initially makes it seem less moisturizing. As there is less to detox I believe you really start enjoying the benefits of healthier skin.

    Spoken like a true soap addict.:)

    The main ingredients in the Maca root shave cream seem to be soap, coconut oil, glycerin and aloe.
