ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Is there a list, or a raffle, or auction, or a lamp that I can rub…to get some GreenFresh bath soap?
I didn’t know that I needed to get on a list.
How many lists are there?
Is there a list of top secret lists?
Is there an app for this?
Is this leading to the “Wolfman protocol” where we get on a list, wait for 2 years and eventually get an opportunity to pay $400 for shaving software?
Cause I’m not sure that I want to, or need to, work that hard.

Banned from ALL lists 

Is there a list of outcasts?

We just started one now

LMAO!
Your killing me with the Greenfresh bar soap! Lol

It’s all made, in boxes and just waiting on labels.!

I swear I don’t start lists myself.. I get requests to hold things so I start a list. I actually have two active ones right now. One for the V3 Dragonsbeard and lI have 3 or 4 on a list for an authentic Mysore Sandalwood oil Shave soap or Creme.

Oh and the Greenfresh shampoo /body wash when in combo with the bar soap makes the whole body feel great and it’s very refreshing.. I then have to follow with all the matching shave gear

UPDATE: 

So I just got the samples of the Fine Santal Absolut shave soap and aftershave splash from TommyCarioca  as promised and I’ll work on duplicated the aroma.  I will say it’s definitely a close dupe of the original AOS Sandalwood so that makes my job much easier.  I’m going to start out using naturals as I have all the essential oils that are in the fragrance profile but it’s my opinion that at the price of entry the aroma blend was either a blend of both aroma chemicals and naturals or all synthetic. I checked all my suppliers and they have all the notes needed if I have to go down that path. You guys know I prefer natural over synthetic but in this case we are talking a Mysore Sandalwood note as that’s what AOS used which I have the original cologne and I believe they used the real deal back in 2004 as it was more available at that time. Much less expensive and being a large company their bulk buying power I’m sure would enable them to make it using the real Mysore. If memory serves me right I paid $100 for my bottle. 

I suspect that Fine used a professional fragrance company like IFF as an example to duplicate the AOS blend.  

Anyway this project is right up my alley and I’m looking forward to the challenge of trying to dupe both these classics at a reasonable price cause using real Mysore Sandalwood oil which I use in my Mysore Santal Skin Food Splash and EDT in a shave soap would result in what I’d call an extremely expensive shave soap so I’m taking that completely out of the picture because even with the other notes bringing the price down some there’s not enough of them percentage wise as the Sandalwood is still the dominant note so yeah that’s not an option to use the real McCoy in the shave soap. Splash would be doable for sure. 

Ok enough of my babbling I’ve got to head out to work! 

Thank you Tommy for the samples!

Some great news in the wet shave universe - i was depressed with Tabac, Haslinger, Valobra, and Fine abandoning tallow. Thanks Frank! I am in for a s*#t ton.

No worries my friend Tallow is definitely staying on the menu and yes I’ve got a vegan Creme coming soon for those that have reactions to animal ingredients and for the vegan folks out there and I’m curious to see how many I sell as opposed to the tallow based products. If I go by the national average it’s .05% of the US population. So we will see. 

We got the Beef!

Hello my friend. If there’s anything you’d like me to put aside for you just email me on the website or text me. I think you have my number right?

How do I get on the list(s) for these?

Sorry Pete, the Greenfresh Bar Soap list is full for now. There's always next year


PS - I'm kidding folks !!

Ok we now have what I believe to be the first authentic Cannabis based CBD Shave soap. This first batch has its own natural aroma as there’s nothing added. I plan on making 3 to 4 batches a  year and I’ll rotate them. One natural scented like this first batch and then the next couple using different essential oil blends added and then I’ll circle back around again to the natural scent and so on. This way customers can have a choice. I just finished and now they have to cure and we just ordered the side labels so I’ll post an update when it goes live on the website. 


It smells like Woodstock in here! 

I'm thinking about giving this one a try once released. Is this in the most recent "hard" base or the soft soap/cream base?
