I’m pleased to hear of your new L&L collaborations! I have all the currently available Chatillon Lux aftershaves (and a few that aren’t), and they all would work well with L&L, my favorite soap. It’s nice to see Storybook join the party, but I can’t wait for the two new L&Ls!

Storybook is a cool collaboration because he makes a good soap and I hope it helps spread the word.

And speaking of permanent lines, it's nice to have my scents find a home in L&L's permanent line. It just makes too much sense for us to work together.

hawns did I miss an announcement of permanent offerings with L&L? Besides the TSM fougere?

Who is this Storybook Soapworks?  I've not heard of them but if you're doing a colab with them they must be good.  I'll check them out.

You know, bay rum is just always there for me.  Bay rum doesn't put on airs or try to be something its not, its like Popeye, I yam what I yam and thats all what I yam...  Bay Rum never lets you down either.  Some times the guys selling stuff and calling it bay rum when its not will let you down but thats another story.  

Thanks!

Unfortunately, BBB is too expensive of a fragrance to be part of the regular line up. The profit margins are quite slim and so I wouldn't be able to wholesale it.

Storybook Soapworks is a new soapmaker who has done a few limited editions and will soon be launching a permanent line (around the same time the limited edition LFdL collaboration drops). He's a good guy and makes a great soap. I'm hoping this helps put him on the map a bit and get his line jumpstarted.

I'd pay more for BBB soap Big Grin I'm fond of it. I'm glad you created it.

I went to Storybook Soapworks site and ordered a soap and AS They were sold-out of Hook soap so I got the other soap they make and Hook AS. Just what I need right? Another soaper to add to my AD.

Oh yeah, they haven't launched their permanent line yet. They've done a few limited editions and they plan on launching their permanent line in conjunction with the LFdL soap. I was hoping that if we did that simultaneously it would help make his permanent line up successful since a rising tide raises all boats.

it's a great soap. I have not had the chance to try the aftershave, but I'm sure it's very good, as well. I've heard nothing but good things

It was part of the announcements for LFdL and general news, but that is going to be a permanent offering. La Quatrième Ville will be a soap, as well, as part of the seasonal offerings. Additionally, we will have more stuff up the pipeline.

hawns, this is just a shout out to thank you for making a quick cartridge shave (running late again Rolleyes) end great.  I grabbed my Chatillon Lux Rose Santal Eau de Toilette and a bit on the face made everything good.  (Not as good as a double scoop of pistachio ice cream, mind you, but definitely good. Winking)

Glad it could help you in your time of need Smile

Also, we all know that vanilla ice cream with strawberries is the best, anyway...
