Barrister and Mann

I received my 42 LE soap today and love the scent. This will be perfect for spring and summer. Thanks Will!

I'm glad you like it!

I'm still waiting on my shipping confirmation.  I look forward to hearing your opinion of the soap.

Working on it. All 42 orders are scheduled to be shipped by the end of the week, and will likely be gone no later than Wednesday.

Primarily publicity and overall production cost. IndieGoGo projects tend to garner wide attention and, while we've purchased all of the materials necessary for the initial production run and they're sitting at the production lab, we still need the capital required to actually have the stuff made (which would be quite a financial hit if we were to do it all at once).

This means more competition to get a tub of Hallows this fall  Sorry, as a lawyer I'm trained to see the risks in everything

Well, not quite. IndieGoGo will be used for Barrister's Reserve, but we will be doing the same thing we did for 42 for Hallows: pre-sale, shipment to vendors, additional batches, the works.

Thats good to hear, however, my concern is that the indie-a-go-go campaign garners global attention and everyone on earth will know what we know and be clamouring to buy B&M products - the competition will get fierce and soon, in a post-apocolytic world, roaming bands of savages will scour the planet willing to do anything for a decent shave using B&M products. I'd better stock up now

Oh, and don't ask me why post-apocolyptic savages are concerned with good grooming.

We will make as much as necessary to meet demand. I promise that this will not be a repeat of last year.

Thanks Will! How did the Meetup go? Any revelations? Inspirations?

Will, is there a reason that Italian Barber is showing Arctique and 42 on their New Arrivals page today but showing as Sold Out? Strange because its not supposed to be released until May 25 right?

Never mind - if you click on it it says it will be released May 25 but you can sign up for notification. False Alarm, nothing to see here.

Is there really ambergris in 42, or is it synthetic?

It went very well!

Whew! You about gave me a heart attack.

Is there really ambergris in 42, or is it synthetic?

No, it's labdanum, which is the closest natural analogue to ambergris. If we used real ambergris, no one would be able to afford it, least of all us.

Creed uses real amgergris in their frags - but not sure they do it in their soaps, although prices would indicate that.

Hey Will, it was cool to meet you and chat for a bit at the meetup. Thanks for taking the time to do these events. It's a great thing for the community!

I really like the idea of resurrecting old fragrances for your new aftershaves and they all smelled wonderful. I also picked up a tub of Latha Original while I was there, love it! Hope you and your Mom made it home safe and sound!
