Want to meet a really nice gentleman?

I guess I’ve been pretty lucky, as I’ve ven­tured back into this world of double-edge shav­ing and mix­ing lather with a shav­ing brush. I’ve met some really nice ven­dors that know their prod­ucts well and are more inter­ested in cre­at­ing a solid busi­ness rela­tion­ship than they are in sim­ply turn­ing a quick dollar.

We’ve all been pun­ished with the sales­per­son that doesn’t know any­thing about the prod­uct they are sell­ing. We’ve all been vic­tim­ized by these peo­ple that don’t care how sat­is­fied we are with our new pur­chases. They have their sights set on sep­a­rat­ing you and I from our hard-earned cash and lit­tle else.

Well, let me intro­duce you to a gen­uinely nice fel­low — Gio­vanni Abrate from Razor and Brush.

Gio­vanni had come highly rec­om­mended to me by another gent, who urged me to visit Razor and Brush to check out the wide array of prod­ucts avail­able. What was inter­est­ing was the rec­om­men­da­tion came to me via a Pri­vate Mes­sage on a shav­ing forum (that shall remain name­less). The incred­i­ble part about this rec­om­men­da­tion was the gent told me to get in touch with Gio­vanni at XXXXX XXX XXXXX. It took me a bit to sort exactly what that meant, but the short story is the mega­lo­ma­niac that oper­ates this par­tic­u­lar forum takes umbrage with any­one try­ing to make a liv­ing by sell­ing shav­ing prod­ucts. He’s try­ing to break into that mar­ket him­self, or so it would seem. So these indi­vid­u­als typ­i­cally find them­selves banned from this par­tic­u­lar site and their com­pany names often end up being cen­sored within the forum soft­ware. Lame and inse­cure? I’ll let you decide.

Here I had some­one rec­om­mend­ing Gio­vanni to me, yet Gio­vanni is so poorly thought of on that forum his com­pany name was replaced by X’s? Hmmmm, how should I view this recommendation?

I took a chance and placed a small order with Gio­vanni. I got the prod­ucts I was look­ing for, at very attrac­tive prices and in a timely man­ner. Gio­vanni went out of his way to con­tact me about my order and when I opened the pack­age, I was pleas­antly sur­prised by some addi­tional prod­ucts in the pack­age. In short, I learned that Gio­vanni is first cabin and that showed me what an inse­cure loser the unnamed forum admin really is.

I just con­tacted Gio­vanni today about pur­chas­ing an Omega bad­ger brush. In a short time, I had a infor­ma­tive and friendly reply from him and that helped me make the deci­sion to place another order.

If you’re look­ing for some excel­lent, hard-to-find wet shav­ing prod­ucts, then get thy­self across to Giovanni’s Web site — Bar­bi­eria Ital­iana. If you have any ques­tions, do not hes­i­tate to give Gio­vanni a phone call. Alter­na­tively, send him an e-mail. And don’t bother get­ting too com­fort­able wait­ing on a response, as the turn-around time will shock you. Spend a few moments perus­ing Giovanni’s forums and you will imme­di­ately get a sense of how gen­uine this gen­tle­man really is. He’s got a good sense of humor, but he also knows his prod­uct lines well.

What a breath of fresh air, to find a busi­ness­man that has his cus­tomers’ best inter­ests at heart. Thanks, Gio­vanni, I’ll be back!
