Barrister and Mann has posted their 2017 release calendar

www.barristerandmann.com/pages/production-schedule

There is the site. Lots of highly-anticipated returns. All super high quality, as always.

I am seriously just considering only buying b&m, Stirling, and catie's bubbles items from here on out.

 

Wish Hallows wasn't taking the year off. Its one that I really wanted to try.

 

I need to pick up one of those 42 towels to go with my tub of soap.

You should always know where your towel is.

 

Hallows is still available some places. I saw a couple on eBay and Amazon, you may check Maggards as well.

 

I want the towel too. Here is my barrister and mann want-to-buy list:
Barrister and Mann:
Night music glissant soap and aftershave pre-order Jan (2/17)
Rhapsody glissant soap (3/17)
Petrichor glissant soap and aftershave (3/17)
Diamond glissant soap (4/17)
42 towel (5/17)
Arctique Aftershave (6/17)
Le Grand Chypre glissant soap, aftershave, and EDT (6/17)
Leviathan glissant soap (9/17)
Lime, Lavender, and Cedarwood glissant soap and aftershave (9/17)
Fougere Gothique glissant soap, aftershave, and EDT pre-order Aug. (10/17)
Eventide glissant soap and aftershave (11/17)

Damn Fine Shave (DFS) soap and aftershave
Fougere Aromatique soap
Nocturne
Saeryan soap and aftershave
Solstice soap
Vanille soap
Vetiver, Heather, and Clary sage soap
Vetiver Santal soap
Winter Spice Soap

 

You would think they would release the towel before towel day, so we could have it on hand. I have the Arctique aftershave, and can warn you. Don't splash it on and expect to leave the house right away. You'll need a good 10 minutes to stop crying and blowing your nose.

 

So no more Mama Bear for you? I'd love to try some of the B&M scents and I only wish that they would bring back the veggie based soaps.

 

I only have one and find it to be good, but I just have such a hard time understanding what the heck the scents are supposed to be so I wont buy anymore until I can smell for myself...Im on a MLS kick right now.

 

I still enjoy mama bear, but my den has become so loaded that I will have to trim down

 

Fougere Gothique and Lime, Lavender & Cedarwood are a couple I would like to get. If they release Lavanilla in Glissant base in 2017 Wil most likely pick that up for sure.

 

Will said that there is no timeline for Lavanille to be released in glissant, so that gives me no hope it will be made in 2017. He did mention, however, that bay rum and Cheshire will be produced in glissant soon.

 

That is indeed disappointing. Cheshire will be nice, just used it the other day for the first time in quite awhile and was reminded how great the scent is. I'm not a big Bay Rum fan but I'm sure many will love to see that released in Glissant as well

 

Fun problem to have, isn't it?

 

B&M has a new lightly-mentholated soap out now. I think it's called First Snow. Should I buy it?

 

I didn't think that you'd settle for only lightly mentholated. Hope you have some M-bomb on hand.

 

I really enjoy it. First snow has fir, leather, and a little menthol. I have heard a description of it smelling like wearing a suede jacket while walking through the rocky mountains in winter. That perfectly describes it for me.

 

The menthol on that is almost non existent. Also the scent is unusual and I usually like b&m.

 

The Soap Opera Himalayan Shaving Soap works very well, and it is veggie based if I recall correctly.

Edit: Removed erroneous part of post. Also, thread at referenced link has apparently been deleted.

 

Yes, those are my thoughts as well.

 

I might be a little lost, but what does the Shave Den Store closing have to do with Damn Fine Soaps?
