Those Italians have done it again.

I received an order from the Italian Barber, I Coloniali Shave Soap, and Acca Kappa 1869 in the tub.

What wonderful products. Both are superb. The I Coloniali is very slick and moisturizing (and the smell is intoxicating), while the Acca Kappa is up there with Acqua Di Parma in quality. Both produced BBS and left my face feeling great afterwards.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm sticking with and only stocking Italian creams and soaps. Each one is a special product, Acqua Di Parma, Santa Maria Novella, Cella, Valobra, P.160, Acca Kappa 1869, I Coloniali, Art of Shaving, the list goes on. Whatever they seem to make, seems to be brilliant. Better yet, there is differing price points without a noticeable sacrifice in quality.

While I do love Italian soaps and creams, I think there are quite a few other soaps/creams out there that I enjoy. In particular I like hard soaps, and I am yet to find an Italian hard soap without tallow.

Will do tomorrow. I believe its the new formulation

Looks like you have quiet a stock there but don't discount other fine quality soaps such as Barbra rosse Tcheon fung sing. Or Provence Sante green tea. Both great for the winter time. But I agree with your assessment that the Italian soaps are great. Proraso will always be there in my lineup.

Here you go





Provided one luxurious shave and left my face feeling BBS and moisturised. I highly recommend it.

Two of my favorite products! Enjoy!

I believe that's the old formulation... Let's just hope the new one is as good, although I don't think it is possible...

Why would you even want to? Embrace the tallow, become one with the fat.

Almond is not my favorite scent.... but I still have many of the Italian soaps. I can't really think of one that is below average.

Don't forget one of the best Klara Kabinetti.
