You knew I'd be here, being Ryan's number 1 supporter.

You don't post here enough to be Ryan's number one supporter 

Just teasing you Cole, I know you've been a fan for awhile !

Cheers Dave! Nice shave, I hope all is well in KY. A few years ago I was in Nashville, and me and a buddy drove North and did the Bourbon Trail. We managed to visit 3 distilleries in one day. Lots of fun!

Ryan, all is well here as can be. been a few years but one year my wife and I did The Bourbon trail I think at that time there was only seven or eight distilleries and believe it's grown since then. Got our passport signed mailed in and got our exclusive t-shirt for that year. It's probably tucked away in a drawer somewhere and doesn't fit me anymore LOL.

He's real

I thought the Sasquatch was just a group of gorillas that escaped the Toronto Zoo and adapted to the cold.

Haha. Totally plausible I'd say!

Its hard, but I will restrain myself.

I don't post enough anywhere lately  Good to see you too Dve.

Finally arrived here in Finland. Nothing but superlatives for this one Ryan. 
I know it's not my place, but man, this should be in the regular line up.

Damn, that was a long time to Finland! Our shipments to Europe have been arriving quicker than usual lately which I've been quite happy about - too bad about this one. I wish I knew the logistics of shipping, and where and how these packages actually go. Like in this case - how does AIR SHIPPING to Europe take 3 weeks? Maybe it's customs backlogs. Who knows.

Thanks for all your support Cole!

Shipping to Finland has always been SLOW, I've got packages from Paris that have taken just as long to get here. I'm pretty much used to it at this point.

Hey DFS! I hope everyone is doing well and in good health.

I wanted to let you know that our only sale of the year starts Thursday. Merry, our holiday release from 2018 is also returning, with a some additions to the scent (the composition will be published on our website tomorrow).

Due to external factors, we were only able to make one batch (133 soaps and 100 aftershaves), so unfortunately this one is going to be very limited compared to our usual releases.

Stay safe out there!

How heavy is the rose in Merry?

How heavy is the rose in Merry?

Not Ryan but i have a tub from two years ago and i don't smell any rose at all. Orange, vanilla and peppermint are the top notes and i get hint of cocoa here and there, hope that helps.

Thanks for the assist! I can smell it, but most won't pick it up as a "rose" note. It just adds a little floral spiciness. With the addition of an amazing real jasmine absolute (rarely used in wetshaving due to its cost), this one is just a little bit more floral.

With what a floral did in Indian Bay I’m thinking good thoughts on what the effect will be on Merry.

Too bad about the addition of Roast Coffee in Merry.....Deal killer....Darn...
