Friday is my daughter's birthday, and since I will be in a run of 14 hour days at work, I won't get to see her, so tonight, it was dinner and shopping. She's 10 going on 16, and just got her ears pierced (for the 4th time...not 4 holes, she just quits wearing the earrings), so it was off to the mall!
I dropped her at Icing (with her 12 year old sister) and went a couple of stores down to GNC to check on Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel. Grabbed my loot, and back to the girls. Next stop was American Eagle Outfitters, right near The Body Shop.
I popped into The Body Shop intent on picking up some samples. Wound up buying a product to use as an A/S balm called Face Protector. It's nice, and I'll review it in the next week or two. But here is where things get interesting. On the shaving display, they had about a dozen boar shaving brushes. A little larger than a Tweezerman, but not as large as the Omega. There was no price, so I asked the lady about them. $7 bucks (probably not a bad deal as they looked decent). And then she told me..."If you want a badger hair brush, I recommend Em's Place online". I almost swooned! I had to ask again! "I beg your pardon"? "Em's Place. It's online. I bought my husband a badger brush from Em. And he likes our shaving cream, but prefers Truefitt & Hill."
What a day. I had a great time with my daughters, and actually met someone who knew SOMETHING about shaving.
