Or vice versa?

LMAO!!

Ok so don’t laugh. Without going into extreme detail. The Vanilla Safi which is 100% pure Vanilla is going to eventually get darker in time. How dark is hard to predict as I’ve never made a real Vanilla anything but have used it in blends.

So anyway when filling the jars my assistant said it would be cool to put some Coco ( Chocolate ) essential oil in it and make it swirls like a fudge sundae lol

I do have some extra.. do I dare try? Not sure on the peanut butter. But it is butter so not impossible. Lol

Hi Frank...sorry if you've covered this elsewhere, but am curious about how the Humidor and Italia collections are coming along? Cannot wait for your take on those profiles!

Hello PixShvr 

Ok so the first of the Tobacco aroma blends for the Humidor Collection the Mandarino Fumo can be ready as soon as the next two weeks or so.  This will be in the F base or Firm base. 

The Italia Collection will be 3rd in line behind the Nuage de Citron which comes right after the Mandarino Fumo.  The first release in the Italia Collection was supposed to be the Bergamotto but my supplier of citrus essential oils in Italy is closed until the end of the month so I have to wait until the oils I want are ordered and delivered but I’ve made a decision to put the Fresco Shave soap and Skin Food Splash ahead of it and it’s a Lime Forward Aroma blend which I’ve been getting requests for for months aund decided to make it as I was inspired by a Gelato I had when I was in Boston a month ago.  

So yeah we have some new things coming soon along with some others in the M base and the Vegan Creme base. 

Good question as I wanted to bring people up to date anyway. 

Great shaves!

I just received my ETHOS Vanilla Safi in the limited edition container. The wood top on the white acrylic base looks fabulous. More importantly the scent is fabulous and so soothing, such a wonderful vanilla scent. When going to scoop the soap out I noticed this is a harder base, not triple milled hard but nice and firm. I scooped out about 2/3 an almond size and put it in my CC copper bowl and within 30 seconds I was rewarded with a marvelous creamy lather. I continued to add a little more water and the bowl exploded. This may be the best ETHOS soap yet. It provided excellent cushion, great slickness yet as all ETHOS produces do, my skin felt soft and conditioned without being oily. The soap also easily rinsed off my razor and brush. 
Frank you have outdone yourself, great new offering.

Shavemd And if it’s more firm…why not lather it right out of the jar?

I don’t like to introduce water to my soaps in their container. I scoop and lather always

Wow great photo Mark! I’m glad you’re enjoying the Serum I made you. I’ve now had several requests for it so I put it in the drop down menu on the website as an option for the 4 Remede serums. I’m recommending a 1/2 almond size scoop of the Shave Cream but you used a 1/4 so how much lather did you have?

Love that razor!
