What's new

I had a nice encounter in Nordstrom's yesterday

We were shopping for Christmas stuff, having just left the L'Occitane store with my bag of goodies.

Me and SWMBO wandered through the womens makeup section as she is always on the lookout for promotions.

They had a kiosk for L'Occitane and when the man servicing the L'Occitane asked if he could help me, I asked if he had any shave stuff.

That opened the flood gates and we talked shop for about 15 minutes.
He must be pretty new as he only has 1 brush, razor, and soap. Cade of course.

I lamented the lack of a L'Occitane balm in Vetiver, they only have a splash, and he also prefers balms.

I had to chuckle when he mentioned his brush. He said :
"I have a Boars Head brush"
If you're familiar with deli products then you're familiar with Boars Head.
I was too embarrassed for him to correct him, but I did invite him to register here and promoted y'all quite heavily.

This was my 1st encounter of this nature and I too found myself talking up a storm. The words literally gushed out of my mouth. It's so cool to find someone else having the same passionate obsession.

As an aside, I told SWMBO about the 2011 sabatical and she is very supportive. :001_smile
 
Ha. Great story. I had a similar experience with, of all people, a shoe shop assistant. Can't quite recall how the conversation started but he was thinking about getting into "old school" shaving and I gave him a few tips (it's amazing how quickly one becomes an "expert" in front of newbies).
Like you I also referred him to this site and the various gentlemans shops in and around Jermyn street in London
