I got impatient, ordered the book and got it in yesterday. Really excited to read it.

hawns... Just shaved with blackberry blossom bay yesterday and followed it up with the bottle of AS from the original release. It was such a pleasing experience. Your scents are great and collaborating with L&L created an amazing one-two punch to the daily shave! Makes me regret not ordering the other products in the scent line.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that your experience was such a good one. We're getting together some more collaborations in June, so there will be plenty of opportunities.

I hope you like it. You look at Nike today and the idea that it started in Knight's parent's basement seems almost incomprehensible.

Glad to hear it! The designer did a really great job. I think the haziness of the artwork really is a good fit for kind of haziness in the scent.

Yes, they did a great job. It's one of the nicest labels I've seen on a soap, the image is evocative.

Yes it warms my heart to see all the love for Blackberry Blossom Bay. People love bay, what more can I say. Clearly your riff on the venerable and ubiquitous bay rum fragrance is masterful and you've created a fragrance that while it may be related to bay rum, is unique and stands alone. Have you ever thought of doing other, unique riffs? Variations on a theme, The St. Louis Sessions. Its like jazz improv, a whole family of fragrances with bay in their DNA but that stand alone as individual masterpieces. Yes, I'm throwing down the gauntlet Big Grin I love bay that much.

Cheers,
Marko
