It's not usually my style to splurge when it comes to everyday items, but this toothpaste (imported from Italy but available at Ricky's, Bigelow and lots of other specialty drugstores) is fantastic. I can't get enough of it and yet I feel like I need to ration it carefully to make the tube last as long as possible because each one is $10.The mint is strong yet delicate - kind of a crisp wintergreen that really leaves a clean feeling that doesn't seem chemically enhanced like certain Crest or Colgate flavors that have an aftertaste. SJI and I were working on a Crest tube for a month or so that seemed ordinary in every way, and I couldn't wait to finish it so we could start a new Marvis - it's like reconnecting with an old friend twice a day. I guess in our current economic climate, it's a good thing that I'm prone to be extravagant when it comes to toothpaste as opposed to cars or cufflinks.

yeah, the bottoming out of the cufflink market has really gone under-reported by the mainstream media. it's really underrated as a leading indicator of our overall economic fortunes.
Perfectly put, Jamie. Thanks for calling me out on my lame, rushed alliteration. I've never owned cufflinks in my life but I couldn't think of anything else!
People think I'm crazy for insisting on my posh Marvis toothpaste, but I've come to hate those commercial, chemically laden toothpastes!
