Wow, lots in the pipe, should be great. I'm sure I can nurse the current tub of BBB for a while but seriously, BBB ought to be in the permanent lineup. Its performed well enough every time its been called up from the minors Big Grin

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!

I agree that BBB is the best bay rum I’ve tried, although it’s a far cry from a “traditional” bay rum. My other go-to bay rums, in aftershave (after getting rid of several), are PAA Bay Rum (no clove!) and Co9T. Vintage Avon is pretty nice too. I have no other bay rum soaps besides BBB.

Scott, you have good taste in bay rum. I don't know Co9T what is it? I have the PAA although its in HTGAM labelling in both alcohol and no alcohol and they're both excellent. If I were to recommend other bay rum soaps I would say Barrister and Mann, Mike's Natural, Stirling and definitely Krampert's Finest, Mystic Waters, LASSC, THB Bay Whiskey Lime, I feel like I'm accepting an oscar and trying to remember who to thank! I know I'm forgetting someone but thats a start. No doubt BBB is not like any of these but is definitely in the family. Happy2

I'm wondering if there are any plans for another run as this tub won't last for ever. Note to self, next time get in first and buy up all available product!!Big Grin Kidding, that would be mean. Not kidding, this stuff is that good. No seriously I'm kidding. Really.

No plans at the moment, as the next project is adding Gratiot League Square and La Quatrième Ville to the L&L Grooming lineup (not to mention a La Forêt de Liguest soap collaboration with Storybook Soapworks planned for this fall). Then there are a few other projects lined up with L&L, but never say never on BBB. Just no concrete plans at the moment.

Edit: Also, thanks. I knew I had to make it good to meet the standards of a certain Canadian bay rum aficionado Smile

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.

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 believe that would be Cat o' 9 Tails.

Yes, Shawn. Not to continue off track, but Cat O' Nine Tails by Captain's Choice was my reference.

Maybe an invite to DFS would help get them on the map too Smile

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.
