hawns I'm currently reading Shoe Dog, its an autobiography/memoir by Phil Knight the founder of Nike. I think you'd find it inspirational. Much of Knight's early years trying to realize his Big Idea mirrors your own experience over the last 2 years. He was working a full time day job as an accountant, operation Blue Ribbon Shoes out of his parents' basement, basically operating on a shoe string (pun) and look at him now.

This June 15, Chatillon Lux is turning two. To kick of the terrible twos, we're having a party hosted by L&L Grooming and you're invited for three weeks of limited edition landslide.


June 15: This is the day we opened our doors. And to kick off the party, the traveling bartender, the Professor Jerry Thomas, is heading down to Georgia. L&L Grooming will be putting out a limited edition run of Bon Vivant shaving soap. Simultaneously, I will be throwing a free shipping sale from June 15-June 18.

June 22: Next up, we will both be putting out something interesting: Catalan's Prairie. This scent, named after one of the early nicknames of South Saint Louis, contains notes of violet, freesia, lavender, jasmine, labdanum and sandalwood. Soap at LandLGrooming.com, aftershave/toner/salve at ChatillonLux.com.

June 29: Lastly, we will be putting out something new: Rose Santal. This scent will feature a rose accord that I've made that was meant to smell rich yet sharp, and will be complemented by a slightly modified Santal Auster sandalwood accord, along with some other spicy notes that I'm not announcing yet...because I'm still tinkering with them. Soap at LandLGrooming.com, aftershave/toner/salve at ChatillonLux.com

All of these are limited edition and will be sold first come, first serve on those dates. Times TBA.

I'm looking forward to this, I should plan a trip to St. Louis just for this. I've been there once before a number of years ago en route to Cape Girardeau and I really didn't get to spend any time there. Cape Girardeau was pretty sleepy, however, I suspect that St. Louis is not.


That would be awesome! Cape is a nice sleepy town, but you're right. STL also gets really good off the highway and deeper into the city, but I suppose you could say that for anywhere. Forest Park and the museums, the National Blues Hall of Fame, the newly renovated Gateway Arch grounds, the wacky City Museum, and the list goes on and on...

That sounds awesome. It's on my list for whenever I finish my current book. Bumped up to the on deck circle. Thanks!

Echo this. I'd also throw in there is a lot of free stuff to do that you wouldn't find in another city. Like the zoo, science center and art museum. Every city I've visited I've always had to pay to get in.

The Toledo Museum of Art, considered one of the ten best in the U.S., is still free.  I have to wonder why, if midsize cities like St. Louis and Toledo can manage that then why can't our major cities do the same. Sad

All that aside, I'm looking forward to my first visit to St. Louis and the shave meet-up on 10 June. Smile

No. I shipped over 200 packages and over 100 are still in transit.
