ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Monday, July 29

ETHOS Blood Orange~~Simpson Commodore 3~~Leresche #51/Sharp Star~~Royall Mandarin

Just thought some of you would get a kick out of this Photoroom image I made that’s going on Instagram as soon as the new label is made and shipped. That’s the new label in the photo. 

So I made some of the Blue Note in the Tallow Crème and I’ll sell those out to my customers/ Vendors but it’s going to be made in the F Base in the near future as I’ve had a lot of requests for it. Blue Note is no longer a collaboration so the new label will be be the same image but with no TRC logo on it so that my other vendors can carry it and I’m starting a new Collection that’s named the “ Interlude Collection “ it’s all about music themed products. 

So the guitar in the photo is my old vintage Johnny Smith Jazz Guitar which I got in 1968 and I remember I paid$275 for it then and it was in like new condition as the guy that owned it only played like 3 times. I only wish I had kept as that particular model year was the first 1961 and they are worth multiple thousands today. It sounded so sweet and they just don’t make them like that anymore. 

I’m going to add some products with the Blue Note Scent and the labels are being ordered tomorrow. 

I have more than 100 soaps gathered for the past years and still buy ...

I have recently discovered new formulas and luxury brand as Lodrino, Jabon de Joserra and Westman from Spain and Portugal, as well as Aion Skincare, The Grooming dpt, Gentlemen's Nod and the last formulas from MacDuffs which already deliver outstanding performance and scents for a budget of a bit more than 20 $

Why should I buy a product twice more expensive and even 5 times with the last Vanilla version ?

It is like cars.  They will all (hopefully) get you to your destination, but luxury vehicles are just more enjoyable on the ride there. 

I currently own or have tried software from most of the companies you identified and they are very nice products.  Frank uses more natural and higher end ingredients for his soaps and splashes etc., which can be significantly more expensive.  I, however, can definitely tell the difference after shaving.  The prices are very reasonable to me for the elite products I am receiving from Frank.   

I highly recommend trying a set that you might be interested in.

Thank you very much for your comments - Ok - I am gonna to try - now what would be the best way to get it in Europe - I know there is a retailer Anticatura in Slovenia but they have a poor stock and high shipping cost and mainly shaving creams in stock which I don't want.

Which retailer you would recommend in the US, having some stock, reasonable shipping cost using USPS ? 

Thank you in advance

The Razor Company ships international and they are one of my favorite retailers.

Actually there is no real “reasonable” shipping cost to Europe from here on something over 8oz.  The really best thing is to get 3-4 soaps you want and buy them.  As far as splashes, if you don’t get them from Anticura forget about it, shipping alcohol based products is a no-no so chose either the lotion or the serum (I am partial to the serum).  

You can trust me, I ship back and forth to Germany about 4x per week at work.

Hello Hercules34

I’ll comment on my Vendors as I won’t make comparisons to other brands as that might be taken as a put down of another brand and I’m not going to do that publicly in fact one of the soap makers you mentioned is a good friend of mine. I’ll let my customers speak of my products. If you’d like to discuss my products with me just use the email address on the website and get touch with me and we can talk. I will say this, get started by looking up the price of real Vanilla Absolute, Vanilla CO2 Extract and I also infuse very high quality Madagascar Vanilla Beans for my infusion that goes into making Vanilla Safi. Also look up Rose Absolute and East Indian or Mysore Sandalwood and then look up the price of Vanilla, Rose and Sandalwood fragrance oils or synthetic aroma chemicals and compare prices. That’s a start and we can go over the other things if you message me.

So I have a lot of customers in both Europe, Asia and Canada. All my vendors will be getting large orders in the next 10 days depending on where they are located in the world. So you’ll have a good selection to choose from.


Thanks for your inquire.

Regards

Frank

Just thought some of you would get a kick out of this Photoroom image I made that’s going on Instagram as soon as the new label is made and shipped. That’s the new label in the photo. 

So I made some of the Blue Note in the Tallow Crème and I’ll sell those out to my customers/ Vendors but it’s going to be made in the F Base in the near future as I’ve had a lot of requests for it. Blue Note is no longer a collaboration so the new label will be be the same image but with no TRC logo on it so that my other vendors can carry it and I’m starting a new Collection that’s named the “ Interlude Collection “ it’s all about music themed products. 

So the guitar in the photo is my old vintage Johnny Smith Jazz Guitar which I got in 1968 and I remember I paid$275 for it then and it was in like new condition as the guy that owned it only played like 3 times. I only wish I had kept as that particular model year was the first 1961 and they are worth multiple thousands today. It sounded so sweet and they just don’t make them like that anymore.

Frank, I can't wait for the F base release of this. And I love the idea of the Interlude collection given your connection and history with music. Look forward to seeing what else you might create under this theme.

P.S. Does this mean Ethos also needs a performance or race car themed collection ?
