Title: The Italian Barber
Post by: Mikekoz13 on November 28, 2012, 12:55:16 PM
I just placed my first order with "The Italian Barber". (www.italianbarber.com)

I'm just about done with all the shave soaps that I currently have so I wanted to stock up..... a nice little early Christmas present to myself.
Here's what I ordered:

RazoRock Fresco Shaving Cream Soap
RazoRock Classic Shave Cream
Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus Shave Cream
Cella Shave Cream

This guy has really good prices on these items right now.

It's a great website with fantastic products, and the proprietor Joe is fantastic to deal with.  Enjoy your new stuff.  Be sure to post up some pics and thoughts when you start using them!

Hi Mike:  The Italian Barber is a great vendor that offers great shaving products.  Mike... I hear nothing but great things about the Cella.  Keep us posted and I look forward to reading your reviews of the Cella and the Razorock products.

Hi Mike, how are you doing with those soaps and croaps?

I love the Proraso and Cella, but haven't tried the others, so am interested in hearing how they're working out for you.

Hi Brian-

I've used the Cella and Proraso multiple times each. I posted reviews on the Forum on both of them in the last week or so. (Love them both)

Proraso may have the best and creamiest lather of any soap I've used. Oh but the Cella....... I love that stuff.

I haven't used the two RazoRock soaps yet. I've been trying to hold out on trying them until my 12 day break over Christmas and New years. BUT.... just this AM I finished up my tub of RazoRock XXX  :( so I'll be opening one of the new RazoRocks tomorrow evening or Friday AM.

I'll post a review after I've tried it (them).

Where are those reviews Mike?  I haven't come across them but I only really view this forum on my phone so navigation isn't great!

Also I am wondering with a soap like Cella, If I bought 1kg, can a lump be chopped off then heated and softened so that it could be put into the red containers it usually comes in? Or would that wreck it??

I'm not sure how well heating it would work out, but Cella is a soft soap.  You could break or cut some off and then just mould it into a red container pretty easily.

I've seen the cella and others like it be wet then molded into new containers but I've never seen a soft soap microwaved/heated. I believe you can do it with some of the hard shave soaps, however.

You can only heat glycerin soaps.  A microwave oven for 15 seconds at a time normally works.  If you try to micro a tallow based soap it will burn and be ruined.  If you want to reshape tallow, use a food grater and then press it into the new container.
