I’ll give you some advice and my thoughts on this!  ____________________________________________________________________________ Collectors Series: P160 Shave Soap    One of the most if not the most collectable soaps of all time, P.160 Tipo Morbido Shaving Soap, was a staple for Italian Barber Shops for years.  Available in “hard” and “soft” versions, this soap’s popularity emerged in the early 2000s with the advances of the internet. (This soap brought the popular “almond” scent mainstream”    In 2015, the company no longer produced p.160 and collectors went crazy over it.  Some bars fetched as high as $500 on secondary sites.  ____________________________________________________________________________ Fall Seasonal Special 10/27/25  The most anticipated podcast of the year is right around the corner.
