Another fantastic shave with Ethos yesterday. This lather comes together very quickly but I wanted to try and push it. I bowl lathered with a small scoop and kept adding water and this soap would not break. Each stage of lather production was totally usable, but as more water was added it developed this super glossy and thick lather. When I applied the lather to my face I was truly amazed by how thick the lather was even though I added so much water.
While lathering I added two drops of the EO blend and again was rewarded with the most wonderful citrus aroma. Many shave soaps and aftershaves have a citrus aroma that reminds me of cleaning chemicals and some are just too sharp or pungent. This blend is really perfect, natural and pure smelling. Just refreshing citrus and nothing else.
Performance of the soap during the shave was top level. Extremely good in all categories and I did a full second pass by just splashing water on my face and using the residual slickness.
The aftershave goes on very nicely and I splash just a bit of water on my skin to help distribute it. I am left with zero tackiness and my skin feels dry. The next morning and afternoon my skin still feels extremely nourished.
I have never enjoyed writing reviews for products but this stuff really stands above the rest.
