ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Dragonsbeard Frank, is the Lavender Supreme shave soap on your site now the harder format soap or the older softer soap? I'm not sure if I missed an announcement or if it has a different label intended for the harder formula. Thanks

Hello my friend. 

The Lavender that’s online is the older softer formula and if I’m not mistaken there are only like 2 or 3 1 oz travel sizes left. So basically sold out. I think a couple of my vendors have a jar or two left.  I’m going to be making a two batches soon. One will be the new M base which is the same as firmer than the former except it’s firmer and also in the new F base which is much firmer. Those will be ready ( available ) much sooner as the M base has to cure for 4 to 5 weeks whereas the F base only takes about 10 days to two weeks.  There’s a couple of other soaps ahead of the Lavender in both bases on the schedule but I’ll be getting to it as soon as possible as I don’t like being out of stock on a standard scent like the Lavender Supreme.

This is very welcome news.  I just didn't get along with the softer lavender.  It was great soap in all respects except the soft formula.  It was just too soft for me.  
Its curious that the M base takes longer to cure than the F base.  In any case, when the firmer bases are available, I'll be back in the market.

Yes because of the process the M base takes twice as long. A long explanation but that’s the short of it. 

Thanks for the input

UPDATE:

The custom shave bowls are officially sold out on the website. I do have 3 more coming soon and one may be spoken for but I haven’t gotten confirmation on it yet. So if anyone missed out I thought I’d let you know and I can put one aside for you. The mold for the bowl is spent so these next 3 will be the last of them.

Thank you all for the support!

Great shaves!

I have had the opportunity to trial some of the trial ETHOS firm soaps, while I very much enjoy the current croap version, I must say this new firmer base is excellent. Firm enough to easily load your brush directly from the container ( I normally prefer to scoop and load in a bowl) yet not so firm that you have to scrape off pieces to bowl load. The real beauty is when you face lather, it provides a beautiful creamy consistency and gives excellent protection and glide. Using my Rocnel 2021 on 8 felt very smooth with this lather. For the last few days I have not used any post shave and the soap alone has left my face feeling soft and nourished. I think Frank has created another great option for people who prefer a more firm soap base.

Hi Mark

I’m glad you liked it and I was hoping you picked the B formula as it’s got a lot more skin goodies in it than the A I sent as I wanted to see if you could notice the difference.

I’ll be making some F base soaps this week and next week.

Succes is first in both F and M base because I’m totally out.
Melange Di Agrume will be the first Vegan Shave Cream but because of the many requests I’ve been getting for it lately I’m going to squeeze in a batch in the F base as well.

The Fresco, Nuage Di Citron and the Mandarino Fumo are all up immediately after them and all in the F base for now.

More to follow.

Thanks for testing the F base for me my friend. You’ve always given me your honest opinion and I appreciate that.

Frank

UPDATE:

The Labels came in for the Restore Shave Brush Cleaner & Odor Eliminator. and the Restore brush Conditioner.

I expect them to be up on the website either today or tomorrow and they will be at all my vendors soon.

If you have any questions about these two products please feel free to ask.

The detailed information will be posted on the website.
