So looking forward to the real deal vanilla!  Been holding my breath and turning quite blue.

So looking forward to the real deal vanilla!  Been holding my breath and turning quite blue.

It’s a lot longer process than I thought it would be and on top of that I had to stop and make other products that are regulars on the website that I was and am running out of or very low on. 

Take a deep breath! No turning blue allowed! Lol

No problem I’ve got you covered.

Hello everyone and I hope that you all had a great weekend and for those that celebrate Easter Sunday I hope you had a special one with family and friends. 

Well it’s Monday and time to get back to work. 

As some know I’m coming out with the Afrika Collection and with it the first product in the collection which is Vanilla Safi Shave soap. The Aroma in it comes from two sources. My Madagascar Vanilla Bean oil infusion which took about 9 months to complete and Pure Vanilla Absolute and not the CO 2 extract oil. As some know Vanilla Absolute is very expensive and I put a link to one of the suppliers in the US that carry it, and there ain’t many that do just so you can see the going price in the US.

As I’ve been told by a couple of my soap making friends this is the first ever pure Vanilla shave soap and it may be the last as I don’t know how many times I can go through the infusion process but hey ya never know. Anyway I have to say I’m a little proud as a couple of the soap maker friends of mine said don’t even try it’s pretty much impossible for a number of reasons which I won’t go into as it’s a bit of a story. 

So all the people that are on the list know that it comes in 2 different containers. One is the custom shaving bowl which is seen below and contains 5 oz of the soap an also the 4 oz jar I normally use which is also seen below. The Custom Shaving bowl comes in 2 different color woods and the dark wood tops are all accounted for but one where the person on the waiting list is going back and forth on the dark wood or the lighter African Mahogany wood. There are a total of 15 custom Shaving bowls and 13 of them are accounted for. We can however if you miss out on them order one if you’d like one and the waiting time is about 10 days to 2 weeks. All the rest of the Shave soaps will be in the 4oz size jar an as of now 4 of them are also accounted for. If you’d like either of them you can contact me via my email address ethosgroomingessentials@gmail.com and I’ll put one aside for you. 

I’d like to thank everyone on the waiting list as this has been the most difficult soap to make soap so far. 

Here’s the images of the Afrika Collection and the two containers the Vanilla Safi comes in. 

Thanks all and great shaves! 

Just an update
As. Of last night I’m down to only one custom shaving bowl with Vanilla Safi left on the waiting list. The good news is I talked to Tim who’s making the bowls and he said he can have one made in between a week to 10 days so if you get the Vanilla Safi in the regular jar it can be transferred to the custom bowl.

UPDATE: 

in the next week or so I’ll be releasing 2 new EDP’s into their respective Collections. 

1. The DFS/ETHOS Colonia EDP in the Calibration Collection. 

2. The Greenfresh EDP in the Chill Collection. 


I’ll also be launching  a new Collection with a new serum with more product to follow and I’ll put up a separate post with more detail this week. I’m very excited about this Collection as it’s directly connected to one of my consulting jobs as a product developer for a major CBD company. I’m very lucky to have access to ingredients that are not only of the highest quality in the world of CBD and Cannabis based byproducts. 




Great shaves!

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the etymology of your naming on this soap. Where does "safi" come from in this context? I see a city in Morocco, is that it?

It means Pure Vanilla in Swahili .

Oh yes I did! Lol I’ve been planning this one for 6 months. I’m going to do a whole write up on this Collection. The Restorative Serum leads the way with a couple of surprise products not that far down the road.   

I’m also going to have a name the product contest for the serum with a couple of free products to the winner.  I’ll post it up tomorrow when I’m sitting in front of my computer.
