Awesome stuff frank! You are always so responsive and you're much appreciated. I'll stick with the Costco 7.5 Oz bargain myself LOL But it's nice to have the options for others.

I really hope the travel size jars will be made of a very lightweight plastic to cut the weight down...

Hey Frank - I think it is very nice of you to offer not one, but TWO new sizes.  That is definitely above and beyond the call.  Happy  Happy

Thank you for all of your efforts Frank. Can you give us an idea of prices for 80g and 4oz. sizes.

I’d like to announce that I’ve been listening to my customers and requests I’ve gotten since launching the ETHOS Grooming Essentials line and I’ve  made the decision to offer different size options for the shave soaps. Also to work with one or two suppliers. I will also note that my business Model was never set up to work with suppliers so my mark up on all my products would not allow not only myself but also the suppliers to enjoy the financial return they are normally used to do after much working numbers with two suppliers I have definitely worked out numbers that work for both parties and I’ve secured agreements with one and probably two US suppliers. One is the Razor Company as sone of you may have noticed. I only shipped him a few products to see how the response was and the products I did send him sold out very fast.  Also only certain products will be sold by the suppliers and all the others will only be sold through the ETHOS website which is very close to being put up. 

So on to the 3 sizes of Shave soaps. Of course the 7.5 oz is my Standard size and comes in the super high quality Crystalline Plastic jar. 

The 2 new sizes are the 4 oz low profile jar as seen in the photo and the new “ Travel size “ which is a 80 gram jar and is a smaller version of the 7.5 oz size jar and will give folks that would like to try a ETHOS shave soap without investing in the larger sizes or for travel. The 80 gram shave soap will only be available on my website and I’m planning on making them available right after Christmas as I have to get labels designed and made. The 4oz size will be the size that suppliers will be offering and it will also be available on my website as well. 
All limited release products like the Dragonsbeard Collection as well as products that are custom made for customers will only be available on my website. So the addition of the 2 new sizes will offer some options for my customers. 

I also want my customers to know who’ve been supporting my email ordering since launching that have mentioned to me that they like the personal communication that won’t change once the website is up. I can always be reached by email and also for a phone chat. So let me know what you think. 

Thanks again for your support!

Hey Frank, I think this is a great idea, and will only broaden your customer base. Thanks for keeping us informed, and for making adjustments with us customers in mind!

Good question It’s actually similar to the large jar as far as the plastic but I’ll have to weigh it to get the actual weight. I will say it feels light but it also feels like a high quality jar.

Thanks for the input

Dave thanks for the kind words and yes it is less per ounce in the larger size.

Since this not a vendors section I’m not sure it’s ok to post up prices. I will say the price per once is less in the larger size.

Thanks for your input.
