ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Finally I got my hands on a set of the recently created Ethos Grooming Essentials products and have been using it nearly exclusively for 2 weeks straight except for a shave or two. I acquired the Ethos Succes Niche Boutique Collection off of the b/s/t in nearly unused condition save for a scoop or two out of the shave soap jar. As has been mentioned in this thread, it is a bit of a trip to acquire as there is no website yet for purchasing outright. But, if one can make contact with the maker who used to be a former member here on the B&B and is as solid an individual as one can find, I find it totally worth the effort and wait to get a hold of Ethos’s products. Hopefully, the website will be up shortly for anyone interested in experiencing one of the finest made shave soaps today.

The Succes soap shave set is a masculine scent that very closely resembles one of the more iconic men’s scents in today’s modern perfumery which is Creed’s Aventus. A bit more pineapple forward but, with the same olfactory infusion of smokiness with citrus, musk and birch like scents that are just beautifully blended. And not just in the soap but, also in the skin food splash & edp fragrance to immerse one in a fantastic masculine aroma from start to finish. I’m a big fan of Creed Aventus and Succes from Ethos gets’ it pretty close to the famed elixir. 

Performance wise, this soap has positioned itself as an elite performer in my den and shares the top position with 2 other artisan makers. Protection, glide and slickness are equal if not better to those other two with post shave attributes (from naturally sourced products and ingredients that promote healthy, hydrated & nourished skin) that perhaps surpass them in my short time with the soap thus far. I can say that it has been the cleaner & lighter feeling soap post shave wise without giving me a heavy feel on my skin once I’m done with my shave. My face just feels natural and extremely good to the touch. With some soaps well after the shave one can still feel as though you have something on your face that though not bad, just feels excessive if that makes any sense. No such thing with the Ethos Succes product. Easy to the lather, loves water and rinses super fast from bowl, razor and face. I thought that with some of the great soap makers out there traditional & artisan that we’ve already reached the pinnacle for soap performance and really can’t ask for anything more in our shave soaps on the performance aspect. Yet, another comes along and darn near sets another bar/standard for a quality and luxurious shave product that competes and arguably surpasses the best soap offerings today.

I’m looking forward to acquiring and experiencing other scents and creations from the Ethos house and I have no qualms in suggesting others to trying it out. I believe samples are offered and it would be good to just try out a few. The far majority I believe will find it to be a wonderful product that delivers on all counts for a Man’s shave routine....

Thank you Gus for the kind words and review but please be careful posting on that forum and mentioning my name as others have and been threatened to be banned! Your a very well respected member and contribute a lot on every forum I know your on and I would not want that happening to you as that would be the loss of a valued member!

Much appreciated my shaving brother!

Have a great holiday weekend!

Don't worry about that Frank. Truth be told, they'll ban an individual pretty much at their own discretion. I did not mention your name, just the Ethos brand and that the owner was a good friend and decent human being. If that gets me banned, then there's nothing one can pretty much say. It's a shame though that they took that particular thread and placed it in no man's land where it will receive very little exposure if any. It will only be a detriment to the shave community there as it will take another good topic and discussion of an excellent product off the table. Very unfortunate if you ask me.

Happy shaves amigo....

Really have disdain for B&B admin's proclivity for spurious banning....

Still going on, eh?
Happened to me 6years ago for swearing at a guy in a PM who ripped me off on BST.
The lack of understanding of cause and effect these days is a human mystery.

good lather has no suds

Banned from b&b club! I was even a contributor to the site.

I'm trying to understand this soap ...

What don’t you understand? Maybe I can help or some of the other users can chime in. 
Thank you!

I'm trying to understand this soap ...

There isn’t much to understand: 1) It is a shave soap; 2) You either scoop a little into a bowl and lather it with a shave brush, or just use a shave brush and lather right out of the tub; and 3) after generating a lather, you use a razor and shave your face and neck (or head if you so desire. It is not rocket science. Oh, and the soap has excellent ingredients and performs like any top tier shave soap.
