The old rubby dubby doo is purty cold. Osage Rub, I mean. Just don't go splashing it round your back door unless you've had a bad curry!

I dunno, I splashed it everywhere else so thought why not? It reduces the burning ring of fire to a frozen doughnut in seconds! :eek::wacky:

Besides, there's not much going on up here so a fella's gotta make his own entertainment. :wink::okay:

I had an argument with a chef a few years ago. I thought his Chilli too hot with no taste. I bet him he couldn't make a Chilli I couldn't eat. Well I ate it, but within ten minutes the old tea towel holder was bleeding. Had to ice the chocolate chute but the bet was won and eight people ate for free that night - I didn't eat for a week mind!

I made a similar mistake once with the chef of my local Indian. I told him that his vindaloo wasn't hot enough, despite being very tasty....his eyes should have said it all, silly me! Needless to say, he made me a Phaal with a difference, double the spice content. Blew my head off and left me feeling like I delivered mortars down the bowl.

Italian Barber will ship these to the UK, according to the Barrister and Mann website.

Really matches the soap well, both super cold... but the soap is harder to lather due to super high concentration of menthol in it.

I really don't like ordering outside of the UK as I am impatient for delivery and don't want to pay HMRC any more than I already do :D But, I MIGHT be tempted with this!

Credit where credit's due...I'll admit to the above descriptives of the south facing orifice did actually cause a mild out loud titter. And, for me, that's quite an achievement!

Will the alcohol content mean it can't be shipped here though? I know they do alcohol free that can be.

According to Will (Barrister & Mann), Italian Barber will ship products with alcohol internationally. It can be done, but it is more paperwork than most vendors are willing to handle. They would be the best option if you are looking for American made aftershaves. (Also, keep in mind, Italian Barber is Canadian, and their prices, I believe are in Canadian Dollars, not US.)

That is a good short term solution, but long term, it would be good to petition European vendors to carry more of these American products if you're wanting them.

Thanks for that @Len, really good to know. I think that given Italian Barber are in Canada, our exit from the EU will help us in this regard. There are some fantastic products on that side of the pond. I see that Stuart at Shaving Station has actually started getting PAA in so maybe this is a start.
