Any experience with Le Pere Lucien Italian Barbershop?

[fistofthenorthstar]

Hey, what the fish was going on here? Glad I stumbled across this thread. I used today the shaving soap of the same title and was looking for some information on the aftershave.

I have no experience with LPL aftershaves, but [...]

I see!

[...] the TRUE Italian barbershop splashes are Proraso Ever-Green and Floid "The Genuine".

Let me guess. It isn't a TRUE (!) Italian barbershop aftershave because...


...it isn't made by an Italian or used by many Italian barbers! Am I right or am I right?

You are not only comparing apples (artisan articles) with oranges (mass-produced articles), but are also symbolically castrating one of the finest artisans.

BTW. This somehow reminds me of the conversation an Italian and a French prime minister once held. The Italian says: «OUR wines are worldwide the best ones!» The French replies smugly: «Maybe. But ours are for sure the most expensive ones!»

So how would you describe the fragrance of Italian Barbershop? I saw somewhere it is a citrus scent, is this correct?

I can now answer my own question. Bay rum, and even specifically the Captain’s Choice Cat’O’Nine Tails burning version.
