ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

He did it again. I can’t explain why he does or how but, I’m extremely grateful for Frank’s Dragonsbeard tremendous generosity and his over abundance in character in just being a decent human being and a hell of a guy. I’m truly blessed to call him my friend and shave brother from another Mother. I just saw the package late in the evening yesterday as my sister-in-law told me there were a few things that she got in the mail the day before and had left them for me in the dining room. I saw the box and quickly opened it to be greeted by this wonderful and rich aroma before even seeing the product. I had an idea of what it was from those initial whiffs and I assumed it was the Vanilla Safi. Bingo! It was the Shave soap and the Remede Revitilizing Serum. I will let you know from the start as I have told Frank before, I am not a big fan of vanilla scented shave products because of the cloying sweetness and synthetic type aura that I get most of the time. Gentlemen, this is not one of those scented vanillas that hurts the olfactory senses. This is something else all together on another plane. It’s rich, has depth and is not overly sweet done in a semi masculine way. This coming from just the soap! I haven’t even mentioned the Serum which is even richer and shall I say, almost decadent in scent. This is as pure of a vanilla that I’ve ever sampled and not just your run of the mill vanilla. I can’t remember the vanilla bean that Frank used for this creation but, I do know that it is one of the most sought after vanilla bean in existence. The quality and gourmand like level of this product is indescribable. The care that Frank took to make this product plus substantial cost is noticed at first sniff. I can tell he poured his heart & soul into this one. To put it bluntly, in the shave realm the rest of the vanilla based offerings aren’t a pimple on this products ass, period. It is simply gorgeous. Shave to follow shortly as I know the performance is a given.





I have been in a sort of funk concerning the shaving hobby as I have been dealing with a personal health issue as of late which many do not know except for a very select few here in this forum. No, it is not me though, I surely wish it were. It’s the love of my life as she fights with grace and a conviction that is truly inspiring. Dignity and humility under fire. She’s my Hero and my anchor. Tough times we live in made worse by a disease that ravages the human anatomy with extreme and unadulterated prejudice. I wish this on no human being nor anyone should witness such a devastating and gut wrenching battle. It shakes one to the core and at times tests your belief in whatever faith a man might have, whether in truckloads or a spec of sand. You question the very basic foundation of the meaning of life itself and to what purpose.

This is one of the places where I find, just for the tiniest of moments a reprieve from the daily fight. I enjoy the banter, dialogue and the overall comradery that this shave forum offers and delivers if only for a few minutes. I don’t ask for me and I only ask for my Wife but, I ask you gents whether you know me or not, like or dislike my person, if you have a brief moment in your time to just mention her in a prayer. I would be most grateful and appreciative of your effort. 

I apologize for taking this thread and posting something out of nature for this threads intended purpose. My intentions are not to play on one’s feelings or emotions. Just asking for a little help in faith, hope & compassion. 

Thank you, Gents. And thank you Frank….

Hello my shaving brother! 

I can’t even talk about shaving at this time. I know you have kept this pain you are carrying to yourself for a long time, never bringing the topic of your wife’s long battle with the terrible disease! I know she is your life and your heart and I know how hard this has been on you my friend and it breaks my heart. I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wonderful wife. 

You’ve always given this form lots of yourself, your time and your honest unbiased opinions on everything shaving for many years and I’m sure the members on here who see this post will have your back with their thoughts and prayers! 

You know you have mine! ??

Much appreciated Brother. Love you man….

Gus you are a kindered spirit and a gentleman I respect. I cannot imagine what you are going through at this very difficult time but my heart goes out to you my friend. You, your family and wife are in my prayers.

Thank you Brother……

Prayer from Korea brother.

I lost my father eight years ago due to a cancer.

I heard that he got not enough months to live but never got depressed because he looked so healthy and I knew being depressed wouldnt solve anything.

So I put my heart into taking care of my dad until he passed away, which was much later than the doctor expected.

Don't be sad brother. Be positive. Being positive has much greater power than you could imagine.

My father passed away but your wife will live forever with you. There are so many people who survived unbeatable diseases.

Even though I went through the hard times, I may not know how hard you have been going through brother but I can say that a human is not that weak.

Your smile will be great energy to your wife I am sure. 

I will pray for you, your wife and your whole family.

Briefly, this was an amazingly good shave. Not because of the performance, which is practically automatic by the way (for me) but, the scent is just so enveloping with a clean warmth and richness to it. Both of my sister-in-laws & the Misses were oooooing & aaawing on how amazing the scent smelled. It literally filled up the bathroom and crept out into the hallway and kitchen. I’m just shocked on how good it smells, this coming from a vanilla no-no guy.

Frank, superb. There’s nothing else to say except, Thank you…..

Thank you Brother….

I don't follow this thread closely.  However, I view it from time to time.  Enough so to appreciate Frank's doings.

I would like to express gratitude for those truly wonderful human beings who contribute in such a fine way to the wetshaving hobby (addiction?)

Frank is a shining example.  Thank you Frank
