Totally understandable, but the whole idea of a pre-order is so daunting that I want to ensure that there are as few variables as possible to delay the time frame between paying for a product and making the product. As you know, international shipping can sometimes take forever.

I'm all about the path of least resistance.

Hi Shawn, I hear you. We've all heard and/or experienced some of those LE release nightmares that crash systems and so forth so its sensible to try to control whats controllable and minimize the risk of all hell breaking loose. Does this mean CL is done with T+S collaborations?

Anything that involves crossing international borders can be quite difficult, it turns out.

On that note, is there any chance that in the event some of your L&L collaborations become regular products they might be sold north of the border? I'm thinking for example the TSM Fougere L&L soap is sold at Men Essentials as part of L&L's line. It would be cool to see other popular L&L collaborations become similarly available. EDTs too as we in ROTW can't get them.
Thanks

It's hard to say at the moment, because he's busy expanding his business on all ends, but Canadian Blade Co. might be a place to keep an eye on

At the moment I am just too busy to keep up with orders and also keep samples made. If my day job slows down then I will be able to bring them back, but as it is I couldn't keep pulling all-nighters, so I had to do something to get caught up on everything.

Things must really be taking off! Just a thought - I be the folks at Maggards could help you with samples. Speaking for me only, I really loved them because it's a low risk approach to sampling the scents. I'm more likely to try something that sounds like it might ordinarily be outside my comfort zone.

In any event, your products have very quickly become my favorite post shave routine. I love that the scents are very professionally crafted scent wise, and have excellent staying power. The fact that I can support a hometown artisan is simply icing on the cake.

Well done!

I've asked Maggard Razors about samples in the past. Maybe now that I do more sales it might be different, but I know they also stay pretty swamped keeping up with samples, too.

Really glad you're enjoying that STL shaving flavor. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it

You know it! I'm planning to be at the STL meet up with my good friend youngunn as well. We are stoked.

Guess I ordered mine just in time then! Still really enjoying them too.
