Glenn just tried the aftershave oil and declared it amazing! There is the Bay Rum in stock here.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): It really is amazing. I don’t think my face has been as smooth since I was 11. (Bumped)

MEMORIAL DAY READING: I am reading Jake’s 8: A Hard Man Novel (The Hard Man Series) this weekend. It is one of Howard McEwen’s three books about men who lead really tough but adventurous lives which I find fascinating. This book is particularly good because before each chapter, there is a drink recipe from the author to accentuate the next section. So not only do you get a great series of stories but you learn how to make some great drinks. Jake tells the story of a man who punches his boss, gets fired and goes to work as a financial planner of sorts with a mysterious new boss who has him involved in all kinds of offbeat interactions with their clients. I highly recommend it.

UPDATE: Here is a video of Molly, the bartender, from the early section of the book sharing how to make her version of a classic Manhattan. (Bumped)
