Anyone know the status of Rasage Poulin? They seem to be in the later throws of liquidation.

St Johns Bay Rum

Anyone know if St Johns Bay Rum has a retail outlet in St Thomas USVI?

Their website doesn't indicate it and emails are not getting a reply.

I love my newsboy/driving hats and wear them often - though not without bit of ridicule. It seems that amoungst some, the hats have obtained a connotation with overwieght lazy bald males wearing moo moo's :shock:

I wholeheartedly disagree with this, though admittedly have witnessed it.

Just recieved my bottle yesteday and used it this AM. It is a fine bay rum (and I've had the pleasure of many), in fact it is a very interesting take on the scent.

Early days, though this is one I think I'll stick with.

Great product Captain!

I am surpised this is not in a soap - the scent seems much better suited to a puck.

I am currently enjoying a leather scented soap from Malaspina Soap Factory - a great product. Two different worlds in terms of production, though I will hold out for the soap when considering the Spanish Leather.

I love my BB Bold 9900 - for a business tool it is (IMOP) unparalled. Couple it with the Playbook and the functionality is great. I appreciate that much has been said about the future of RIM. Drunken execs chewing through restraints on a plane and stock issues aside, I am a big fan of our Canadian m...

Thanks for the reminder Gary. I used a tub of 'Malaspina Man' and loved it. For whatever reason, I gravitate to these smaller vendors and this one has an exceptional product and service. I have just placed and order and have also tasked Linda with building a scent for me. Well worth a try and the pr...

Really enjoy Whiskers Blake - the price is right. The sweetness is well balanced and the brandy influence is great.

Regards,
I suppose I could have used a descriptor such as 'pillowy' or 'virgin' white. These also have connotations which could lead one astray.

Point being - blood and lather do no mix. :)
