Name a new Collection Contest!

5) Shinrin-yoku (or Japanese for forest bathing)

From Nat Geo: The term emerged in Japan in the 1980s as a physiological and psychological exercise called shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere”). The purpose was twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to tech-boom burnout and to inspire residents to reconnect with and protect the country’s forests.

Man, what is this? A soap naming contest for a chance at some Ethos shave goodness that is the Vanilla Safi? How does this guy stay in business by giving this stuff away? Oh well, there’s no shame in my game for a chance to get a freebie or two. There’s a few good ones in here to be honest but, I’ll take a stab at it. Here are my suggestions:

1. Herbacea - qualities of hierba (grass) or the naturalness of grass. Yes, I’m of Latino descent (actually, I stole it from AJSharp. Sorry amigo…)
2. Champs de Verdure - Leave it to the French for taking an ordinary grass field and making it sound world class. Oui Messieurs…
3. Aromata herbacea - I know, I just added aromata to suggestion 1. Sounds lovely though…..
4. forêt herbacée - I love French, sorry!!! C’est la vie.

There are some real good ones in the previous posts though. Good luck to all my shave bro-hams…..

UPDATE:

I’ll be picking a winner today between 5pm and 7pm EST. Basically when I get out of work and have time to go over all the picks. So if you want a chance to win get your picks in before that time.

Good luck to all

Frank

UPDATE: 

Ok we have a winner and guys it was close and part of the reason I’m so late posting this up.  

So after much thought I’m going to change one thing. I know that the Vanilla Safi is not for everyone as it’s quite expensive but when you make something that you feel really good about you’d like others to try it so in this case I did pick a overall winner but I want to also recognize the 2nd and 3rd place picks with a gift of a Travel Size of the Vanilla Safi Shave soap. 

So the Winner is GlazedBoker  Gus! 

A big congrats my friend and your pick of Aromatico Herbacea was ultimately my to pick. Please pm me with your shipping information. 

It’s got a key word in it for me and that’s Aromatic.  As this Collection will be about aromatic herbal aromas and green mostly. 

Now going to a Forest theme which was the big back and forth thing for me and I almost went with it. 

So here’s the 2 runner ups 
gwsmallwood  with his pick of Endor. I like the fantasy almost Eternal feeling to the name and who knows I might have to use the name for a product in the Collection in the future. 

So congrats to you and please pm with your shipping information. 

The other pick I gotta give to AJSharp for his pick of half the name Herbacea. Congrats and also please pm me your shipping information. 

I’d like to thank you all for your participating in the contest and as always 

Great shaves!

Wow, that's awesome. Thank you for that, Frank. I guess it pays to be a fantasy/sci-fi fan.

Are you saying that.....



Well then, this is a surprise as there were some really outstanding potential product names in this thread. Thank you Frank Dragonsbeard for the very generous prize that is the Vanilla Safi creation. I am most grateful for the opportunity to try this latest creation. 

Words can't convey what I'm actually feeling at the moment so, I'll say it with this below.....
