Beautifully dense lather!  Happy2
I really should try to order some of Frank's soap, at some point.

Nice but too thick imho … you need more water for shave

Frank, will we ever see Watermelon Mint again? Can't think of anything I'd rather lather right now.

Hi Bouki

Yes for sure and honestly I’ve been waiting for the watermelon to come into season when they’re nice and sweet with rich deep flavor. Not that cucumber, greenish not to sweet taste that the imported ones have. Good news is their tasting really good now so I’m going to do the infusion which unlike the rest I do doesn’t take weeks or months to mature as it only takes a couple days. I’ve got a nice Green Mint plant growing and also a fresh bottle of Green Mint EO that just came in from Italy so Aroma wise we are good to go.

It’s funny the first time I made Watermelon Mint i told my assistant I’m very excited to try this crazy idea but I’m not sure it’s going to go over to well with the wet shaving community so I made a relatively small batch of it and boy was I wrong again. It went very quickly but I still wasn’t convinced as I thought maybe people bought it out of curiosity but since that first batch I’ve gotten really good feedback and personally I love the stuff ( lost mine in the fire ) so I can’t wait to make it and this time it won’t be a small batch!

I’ve been behind on making what I call my warm weather aromas as a result from the fire and the aftermath of it so I may drop a couple of the aromas I was going to switch to the F Base and make them in the Tallow Crème as the unscented base is already made in bulk so it’s just a matter of putting the Aroma Blends in, filling and labeling the jars so at least I can get them all out soon. I will make some in the newest F Base but I really want to be right on schedule for all the Fall & Winter scents I have planned for this year. Just trying to sort through which ones I’ll make in the F Base and of course Watermelon Mint is one of them as it’s not been a Creme before.

For me it’s a very simple but refreshing scent especially in the hot weather. I’m going to also add more different products in the scent as well. So gotta get the labels ordered asap! So thanks for reminding me my friend!

All the best

Frank

Frank.
Great idea to get you summer crashes out the door in tallow cream. Timing on those is off the essence as we are already near the 4th!

One of your blend that has to be in the F base - Colonia!

I patiently await and beg you.

No worries Tommy

Colonia is going to be done in the newest F Base my friend and you have a couple small surprises in the box with the Paradigm Diamondback razor pass around shipping out today. Gotcha back! lol

Ok guys 

I don’t like to brag and this isn’t meant to be a sales pitch but I gotta say I’m just finishing up filling a bunch of the Vanilla Safi Skin Food Splash as we sold out the first batch. So this gallon has been sitting infusing for about a week longer than the first bottle I used to fill the bottles and I have to say that extra week made a bit of a difference.. in fact it blew me and my assistant away. It smells so darn good! It made me feel like a complete idiot that I thought nobody would ever wear a post shave product with the Vanilla Aroma. What was wrong with me? It’s so freaking good! I’m taking two bottles home with me. My assistant said she wants to pour some over ice cream  Cry
