Frank,
When will Succes again be available?

I have it in stock I’ll put them up now. It must have run out and I didn’t catch that it shows out of stock.

Thank you!

Frank

Great photo and that’s a beautiful razor!

Thanks for sharing

ETHOS Vanilla Safi~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic~~1936 Gillette Aristocrat DeLuxe/Sharp Star~~Vintage Caron Pour Homme
And I thought the Blood Orange was good...
Frank, should I be concerned the soap will stain my white-tipped badger brushes? I purposely used a synthetic for just that reason.

The vanilla will stain your brush a bronze color. It's really not a big deal to me but I've confirmed that it does stain.

The Vanilla can’t help but go brown it can stain but if you use a little shampoo or my professional brush cleaner with a little  along soda every once in a while it will take it off. .oh and the lather should look cream in color not brown. I also use synthetic brush with it and also find that synthetics give me more lather when using the Tallow Shave Crème.

primotenore  the Vanilla Safi is what I refer to as the Luxury F Base as it’s a one of a kind. So a lot different than the Tallow Crème. I am working on a new soft base that would be compared to the Luxury F Base. In the near future I will be eliminating the Tallow Crème and that will take its place because I don’t have access to a homogenizer since I left the CBD lab job.  I don’t think anyone will be disappointed in the new soft base.  It’s right there with the Luxury F Base.

I really like your soft bases! 
Hopefully we’ll be having a Lavender Supreme option in this new base!

Lavender Supreme is a standard scent for ETHOS. It has been around since the beginning and of course it will be available in both F and the new S Base

UPDATE: 

All these are back in stock. 

Other than the Unscented F Base all the scents have either been changed or slightly altered which I believe you’ll find improved. Also in all the supporting products like the Skin Food Splash as an example. 

Here’s a quick rundown. 

1. Mélange d'agrumes Tallow Shave Crème. This is now a very true Ruby Red Grapefruit. The matching Skin Food Splash was actually infused this time and it honestly smells awesome if you are a Grapefruit fan. An added note, I’ll be posting up a photo of all the infusions I have currently going in a post when I go into work. 

2. Tibu Sabuni Vegan Shave Crème. This has been given an ever so slight bit of both Lavender & Rosemary so the Play dough scent some have mentioned is gone. The scent is very, very light as intended just so you know. Again this was developed for people with skin issues and I’ve been told by some users that they use it when they feel their skin needs a few days of healing. 


3. Blood Orange has been ever so slightly been changed scent wise only by the use of a better and more current batch of Blood Orange from my Italian supplier. BTW in the future all these scents will be available in either the F Base or the upcoming new S Base which will make its debut in the late fall. 


4. Fresco has been what I would call simplified as it’s now down to only 2 natural aromatics. Sicilian Lime Essential Oil and an ever so gentle touch of Green mint just to give it sparkle. The Basil and other Limes are gone and the mint is in at a much lower level. The infused Skin Food Splash smells so good if you’re a Lime person. This is in the F Base BTW. 


5. As I mentioned the Unscented ( formerly called Clean )  is different as it’s in the most recent version of the F Base.  Right now it’s only available in the 4.5 oz size. 



So I’m catching up and very soon the Lemoncello and Kailua will be released and I’ll be restocking the Tallow Crèmes, Roll Up’s and some of the standard F Base Soaps that are either out of stock like Lavender Supreme or low in stock like Succes. Watermelon Mint will be made this week and I’ll bring you up to speed on that one as I’ll be expanding the products with the Aroma Blend as we’ve only offered the Soap & Splash. Then Greenfresh & Colonia either the end of this coming week or the beginning of next week. Then I’m caught up and will be staring my Fall and Winter releases and I will tell you the first one up will be “ Russian Tea “ all the ingredients are in for the infusion which is a similar process to making from scratch Bay Rum but more simpler as it has less aromatics in it and the infusion time is much shorter. 

That about sums up things. I had some time today so thought I’d share this info for those that are interested. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 

Thank you!

Today we made all the Skin Food splashes that were infusions which included the new Fresco, Lemoncello, Melange de Agrume and the Kailua. I have to say there may be some aromas I would still have to use my conventional method I have been using for most of the years I’ve been in business but when it’s possible to do infusions I’ll never do them any other way. This takes them to a whole other level. 

They all blew us away today with how they came out and I don’t want to go into details about each one but after blending the final Kailua mixture and pouring it my helper Annette and I just looked at each other and we were like wow! We actually did this with each one. 

Below is an example of what an infusion looks like before I do the final mix and after and it’s in it’s bottle. You can see the fresh Grapefruit rind in the infusion if you look close. This is the Melange de Agrume that smells like you just cut open a Ruby Red Grapefruit. 

Of course I had to have some fun with Photoroom. 

Great shaves!

Was lucky enough to go after Frank on the AD razor pass around.  Smelled the new Fresco and Melanage - both are powerful (for a natural citrus), pure scents (lime and grapefruit respectively).  

Gentleman, they are the best 2 batches of each (trust me I know).  The scent of each has never been expressed more clearly or delivered at this level.  

The best of the best… and in the new F base. Don’t walk, run to grab one!
