Barrister and Mann

Will, at Seattle Shave Con, you let me sniff the new Fern version of Barrister's Reserve aftershave. Do you yet have a schedule for its release?

As part of the brand shining I'm hoping that the ever popular Bay Rum soap will appear in glissant and new packaging.  I'm really hoping.

The aim is to have it and Lavender on the market by September. Capital limitations have kept us from doing it until now.

So there will never be roam made again?

I'm holding out hope that that is not the case Chaddy.

I think Roam is polarizing.

Thanks, Will. Looking forward to it! I've got both the Spice and Cool, but I'm familiar with Old Spice and Floid Blue. The Fern, based on Houbigant Fougere Royale, was totally new to me. I'm waiting patiently...

You are quite correct. We get together with a group of friends who wet shave. Oddly enough, I've never had anyone dislike Roam. I'm quite surprised since I know it's usually a love or hate thing.

Now Night Music on the other hand, lol......

I don't see how. I think it smells fantastic!

I, too, think it smells fantastic, but I certainly can see how it's polarizing.  It's hardly a middle-of-the-road fragrance. The problem is not that some people like it and others hate it. The problem is the juvenile reactions in which those who don't like it can't stop at just saying they don't like it or what about it they don't like, but rather spew vitriol and just ridiculous and potentially hurtful responses about a damn soap!

People are strange. I think that social media and the ubiquitous smartphone in every hand contributes to the removal of the brain to mouth/typing finger filter. People just say/type whatever ridiculous, offensive or strange thought that might come to them. Most of the time its better left unsaid.
