Thread: Any NYC Meetups?

I realise the lather sounds silly, and despite getting a comfortable lather, I'm curious if I could be getting better lather out of my soap.

Just a thought from a newbie.

I feel the same way you do but I won't be able to attend. I am very disappointed. I'm hoping we can get another one together in the spring. Maybe we can get a good date soon and I can reserve us a nice place to meet.

That sounds cool. I'd be interested in that.

Does anyone plan on bringing any soaps, balms and creams? I'm very interested in checking out some of the scents on the products, I just can't afford to order a bunch of products just to figure out if the scents are something I will like.

I can bring a few of mine. I have Nivea AS balm, Proraso AS balm, Ogallala Bay Rum AS, C&E Sienna (I think...), and a bunch of creams from CarrieM in assorted scents. I also have some Proraso cream and... well I have some soaps, but they are pressed into lowballs (not easy to travel with).

Is there something you're interested in testing? Post a few soaps you have in mind and that way other folks can decide what to bring. I'll probably bring a few different creams and AS splashes. Maybe a balm or two. I really haven't decided yet, so post something that's caught your imagination.

I'm definitely interested in checking out the CarrieM products, as well as some Balms. I'm curious about the Castle Forbes products, but I know they're rather expensive, so I can understand if no one wants to bring them.

other then that, I really can't think of anything specific. I'm just curious what others use, find work well, smell nice, etc.

I wouldn't expect anyone to break their back bringing all of their products.

I have some Art of Shaving, DR Harris (My new Favorite), nivea, burt's bees and some other stuff I can bring.

I'll probably have some of CarrieM's cream and Al Raz's The Bomb. I don't have any CF, but maybe someone else who's coming does and will bring it.

I have the same balms that have been mentioned already. I'm more of a splash guy.

I just ordered Bomb from Alraz and plan on bringing that too with a Mama Bear sandalwood vanilla.

Also did anyone check about the internet connection?
