Alden Trunk Show Friday 2/12/10
Posted February 5, 2010
Another piece of last minute news is that Winn Perry will be hosting an Alden trunk show next Friday 2/12/10. The show will take place at Winn Perry from 6:30PM-8PM. Come into the store and meet our Alden representative Nate Humble. Nate will be answering questions, performing fittings, and giving a run down on the history of Alden and the unique construction and materials that make an Alden shoe so great.
We will be taking pre-orders for restocks of Winn Perry exclusives including the 97786 Double Waterloc Longwing (pictured above). We will also be letting everyone know about future Winn Perry exclusives and taking your ideas on what you would like to have Alden make personally. If there is enough interest in particular styles, we are always happy to look into them for future make ups.
All in stock Alden shoes purchased during the event will include a free pair of shoe trees. We will hopefully have more planned for this event in the next few days and will keep you updated on the list of events as they unfold. For now, if you would like to attend the event, please RSVP by phone at 503.922.1298 or by e-mail to jordan@winnperry.com. Space will be limited to 25 people, plus a guest so everyone can get a chance to be fit in that short time and have any questions answered.

New Stock Update
Posted February 5, 2010
I’ve been out of touch for the last few weeks. In those weeks though, we have received stock on some great new items for Spring. Between the weather and the new merchandise in the store, it’s already beginning to feel like Spring, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking.
Items that have arrived in store include lightweight merino "Under" layers and a restock of sea blue Stark cardigans (an ideal Spring jacket) from SNS Herning, shirting and a Japanese gauze terry sweatshort from Band of Outsiders, a large shipment from Gitman Bros. including oxfords in white, blue, grey, red, blue stripe, and grey stripe, blue and grey chambray and two short sleeved madras plaids. Also in, are traditional aviator sunglasses from American Optical and a handsome mix of Spring socks from personal favorite Corgi.
I will try to post pictures of everything in the following weeks. In the meantime though, if you have any questions about shipments or would like snapshots or sizing information, just contact us at sales@winnperry.com or by phone 503.922.1298.

Baxter of California Safety Razor
Posted January 13, 2010
The safety razor was first introduced in the late 18th century as a safer alternative to a straight razor. This type of razor was originally produced with forged blades that still required sharpening. The main innovation leading to the type of shaving that we know today came from the mind of a man named King Gillette. Gillette’s most well known innovation was the innovation of disposable steel blades. You can kind of think of Gillette as the Henry Ford of shaving. A shrewd marketing man, Gillette became the world leader through a unique (at the time) marketing method and through using an automated process for creating blades, making them inexpensive to the consumer.
From Baxter of California, "Many advocates (< myself included) of the blade insist that they get a closer, more comfortable shave, with less irritation and shaving bumps. Shaving bumps occur when the whisker is cut too close, causing the hair to grow back in an angle, underneath the skin causing a “bump”. Users also speak to the blades cost effectiveness in comparison to pricey cartridge blades." Not to mention that they are recyclable and use much less material.
“If you are not used to shaving with a safety razor, you will have a slight learning curve”. Says J.P Mastey, president to Baxter of California. “The main difference you will see is the fixed shaving head … as most modern blades have a pivoting head allowing you to make “turns” – your DE blade will not pivot, so use short straight strokes or you will get shaving nicks.” If you are learning, Baxter helps you out by including a small letterpress instructional card along with the razor.
Made in Germany of chrome plated stainless steel, the head of the blade has a very nice weight allowing the blade to perform the cutting without much added pressure. An etched 3.5" handle of the same chrome plated stainless adds a very nice balance and grip in your hand. The razor is packaged in a handsome matte black case and is accompanied with a pack of 5 Derby blades to get you started.
