Thread: Moving to the US from Ireland (Destination: Albuquerque, NM)

Thanks for all the replies. I've decided I can really live without the Proraso pre/post shave. Widely available here at about €8-10; should I stock up?

Palmolive is a great suggestion - cheap as chip (fries I mean ) here.

I hope you're getting paid a lot of money to live in NM. that's the only justifiable reason for moving there. Well that, or the government forced you because you're in the Mil.

Mad,

Al Gore invented this thing called the Interweb. If you have a computer and a modem, you can buy Proraso from reputable dealers who are willing to take your hard-earned money in dollars, euros, or pounds (I have a couple tubes in my cabinet from just such a transaction).

As for Whisky, Bushmills (and Jameson) are sold by the case here. We can even purchase good whisky like Ardbeg and Lagavullin. I can't speak to the quality of the sherries available here, but then, does that really matter?

Even as a northern rube, I have had occasion to visit Albuquerque. While it is not my favorite city in the U.S.A., it ain't bad, and has good access to some great country. New Mexico is a fabulous state. I never tire of the mountains there. I've spent more time in Taos and Santa Fe, and can easily see settling in one of those towns. Frankly I'm a bit confused by the negativity being expressed toward the "Land of Enchantment" and suspect a ruse. Just between you and me, I constantly tell people horror stories about Wyoming...just to deter them from visiting or moving here. I suspect the same is going on here. (Part of the reason I'm so willing to talk up New Mexico is because I don't want you moving here. Sorry, nothing personal.)

Slainte,

Even Amazon sells Proraso and TOBS for cheap.
The liquor stores in large towns in Texas sell stuff from all around the world. You should be able to find whatever you need in NM.
SRD, Classic Shaving and West Coast Shaving have an extensive supply of shaving equipment. Look them up online and see what they have.

NM is a beautiful state. I've been there a few times. I don't remember Albuquerque very well, but I stayed in a lot of cities there and had a nice time. I think Nix is right, the other guys are just being protective. We kind of do the same thing in central Texas.
