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!
