Thank you sir! I’m glad your enjoying the Vanilla Safi.

And again today.... Frank - did all the time curing maybe impact the soap?  I find the soap to be exceedingly comfortable. and almost rich.  Maybe it's the vanilla scent that I'm smelling and causing me to feel the soap somehow differs from my other Ethos (pre-F) bases, but all I can say is that this soap is simply rocking for me.

I’m Glad you noticed that it’s a bit different from the old Standard base. That is what the new Standard base is like and the only soap I have that base out in currently is in the Lavender Supreme. It’s also a noticeably firmer than the old base so it can be loaded from the jar. Not as firm as the F Base but I have no issue loading from the jar and especially with a synthetic. The Vanilla and the soap did cure for quite some time and This coming year once I get caught up I may make soaps months in advance so they can cure at least 3 months as I think they are a bit better the longer they cure. Maybe it’s just me… but that’s how I feel about the subject. 

Thanks my friend for the feedback it means a lot to me!

Oh boy.  Ethos nook was designated today. Fresco scent is insanely good. I love lime scents and this is heaven. The f base made enough lather from my usual almond scoop for probably 5 passes. I did notice the f base succes muted the scent a bit but the edc has me covered post shave.  

This is only one of two brands where I’ve yet to try a scent that I didn’t enjoy. zingari man being the other, but ethos performance is 3 tiers above.

Thank you my friend for the kind words. I did notice the scent is a bit milder in the F Base  Sucess and next batch I’ll have to increase the percentage some so that matches the Standard Base. Running low on both bases so gotta make both soon. 
Nice display.

WOW There is nothing I can add as Frank your Ethos line continues to offer exceptional shaves and value given how much is included in your shave bowls. And although I do not pretend to understand the different ingredients my face can appreciate the benefit and improved performance of your products. I dare say that anyone who hasn't even tried your Ethos is missing out. And yes you can like other soaps but these offerings from Ethos will not only open your face to luxury but may open your mind to other true "artisans".  Thanks for these new scents but ... man slow down as I can't even finish a container before you introduce not one but several more Wink
