Great shave! Love that Blackland towel. Need to get me one of those. By the way, are my eyes deceiving me or is something blacked out on the splash?

You eyes aren't deceiving you.....some things in life we put behind us after learning they aren't worthy of our support or acknowledgement ever again.

I should add that this splash is used solely for the ingredients Frank Dragonsbeard has in it and just getting it finished up slowly.

1st use of this maker as far as I can remember and it's a great base but I feel overpriced by comparison to others unless maybe you find a scent that you love. That's just MY opinion as I know many love this brand. It's not a knock. That said I was happy to try one gotten from the BST. Unfortunately I had a slight burning feeling on the 1st pass and grew with each of the 3 passes. The scent is descripbed as:

The Scent Gredos:

A delectable gourmand creation where a dash of dark bourbon combines with rich fruity nuances. Hints of salted caramel, vanilla essence and sweet buttercream bring this fragrance to a close.

Honestly all I get is the gourmand fruity notes, nothing nuance or subtle about it. No bourbon for me, carmel or vanilla but everyones olfactory is different and this may be perfect for you. Again, I was glad to try a soap from the maker to scratch the itch caused when you see so many using a brand you haven't tried yet but this will be moved on perhaps to a local friend to try. Still loving th shaves from the Vector and zero anticipation of that changing. Hope all have a great day !

Most know I'm not big on shave creams although I have a few vintage I use occassionally. I was pif'd the Ethos Ravello by dtownvino and so glad to try it. The scent is a fresh and clean scent described as fig forward. Being a Barbarian and my only comparison being Fig Newtons I just got a nice pleasant fresh clean scent. Knowing Frank, I'm sure there's some exotic fig from abroad scent in there for the more distinguished. Being predominantly a face latherer I smeared a generous portion on my face to lather up and got an easy lather and the scent really opened up in strength as compared to the sample jar. Great shave and was nice to try but I'll stick with the F Base soap and hope Frank doesn't mess any more with it Have a great day Everyone !
