Dragonsbeard review and pass around

I received the Dragonsbeard soap and splash in today’s mail. I will give it a test shave in the morning and report my thoughts.

My initial reaction is that it smells wonderful. My nose picks up a well balanced blend of Oud, Agar and Vanilla.

I received the Dragonsbeard soap and splash last week and I have had three opportunities to shave with it.

Off of the puck/open container, my nose picks up a very pleasant scent of Oud and Vanilla. Combined they smell a bit like chocolate; the color of the soap looks like chocolate so the visual may be influencing my olfactory senses.

I used a scoop to pick up an almond size amount of the soap. I then smeared it in my copper lathering bowl and proceeded to lather with a 28mm Declaration badger brush. The lather developed rapidly with small additions of water. I found that once lathered, the scent altered and diminished somewhat. On the face, the lather was luxurious and protective. The shave went off without any irritation. Post shave was great. I used some mentholated Thayers afterwards. When my face dried, I applied the Dragonsbeard Splash. The alcohol in the splash provides a pleasant sting and is absorbed very rapidly. Once it touches the skin it seems to dry quickly and absorb; not much is left to rub around.
The scent on the splash is in my opinion very different from the soap. Soap ingredients always mask or alter the scents. The vanilla in the splash is really pleasant and the scent lingered all day. In the evening, when I wet my face, it seemed to reactivate the scent of the splash. The scent composition is masterful.

Thanks for the opportunity to try this set!!

Happy Holidays to all.

Hello and thanks for asking! 

Yes I will have some updates coming soon. I just made some unscented Skin Food splashes and I’ll I’ll have some Shave soaps with matching Skin Food splashes very soon. Im just waiting on the labels and I’d like them to cure a couple of weeks longer. Also I’ll be offering very soon a Limited edition pure East Indian Mysore Sandalwood Skin Food Splash that should be ready in the next week or so as again I’m just waiting on the labels for that an there’s a little surprise in every bottle that I’ll show in a photo once I have my labels. Also working on two other post shave products. A couple of EDP’s and a pre shave product that’s coming along nicely.

I would like to add on that having spoken to Frank a few times and knowing the quality of his products the Indian Mysore isn't any ordinary product. This guy is a pro at scouring the earth for a product he believes in!

Hello sir 

Yes I will have a website hopefully up in the next 3 weeks or so. At that time I will be in the vendor section as well. My Dragonsbeard soap was carried at West Coast Shaving and Pasteurs in NYC and that was arraigned by Oleo Soapworks so I have to get in touch with them to see if they would still like to carry the ETHOS brand. 


Thank you for the inquire.
