I also already have 2 jars of the Colonia, and I hope that will be available in F-Base too so I can grab it. I'll be grabbing a couple jars of your Sandalwood-type in the F-Base if at all possible. Even more so if these are available in that large size you make.

Thank you for the support and the next time I make Colonia it will be in the F Base and the Sandalwood will be available in both sizes. The 7.5 oz size is only on my website along with the 4.5 oz. My vendors will only get the 4.5 oz at least for now.
I'm guessing F-Base doesn't come in 7.5oz?

To clarify, yes all the new F Base Soaps will come in both the 7.5 oz and the 4.5 oz sizes. So will all the future F and S based soaps and some of the Shave Cremes moving forward unless it’s a limited edition or for a specific reason one may be offered in only one size which I will post up.
Only thing to note is that my vendors only sell the 4.5 oz sizes and the 7.5 oz sizes are exclusive to my website. Of course I also offer the 4.5 oz on my website as well. 

Hope that explains things.

A couple of the testers told me they were using it for their face and head and couldn’t get over the great shaves they were getting. In fact I did a really quick 2 pass in shower shave this morning using the Mandarin & Orange and since I didn’t have a matching Skin Food Splash  and its 8 hrs later and my skin feels really soft.

In fact one of my customers who was a tester put it this way. Mercedes came out with mid level and high level prices cars years back. Then they launched some very high priced cars. Built their reputation on quality and then they came out with the C Class or entry level priced car.. He said Frank think of this as your entry level shave soap but it’s still ETHOS and I understood his message but I honestly was just trying to come out with a women's body shaving soap and then it went to a gender neutral body shaving soap and I guess when you mean body shaving soap that includes the face. 

Gotta love my customers! They come up with so many things and they push me to keep trucking on! Lol

Trust me on this you may be pleasantly surprised.

In fact I was going to do a write up on how to use them as I’ve been experiencing using different techniques.

I have been using the body shaving soap as a tester for quite some time. I have only used it on my face and I have to say it lathers so easily right off the puck. I have gotten wonderful glide and cushion. A 20 second load and then using the excess as a pre shave , face lathered and get plenty for a 3 pass shave. The cushion is almost as good as the regular ETHOS and the post shave feel really shines. This, for me, has been a great lower price version of ETHOS giving all the benefits, maybe with a little less cushion, but still for the price outshining anything in its price range. My scent is peppermint and it is awesome. Also, once again, you need much less soap for an equivalent lather compared to other soaps I use. Great product Frank, you have a life long customer.

Thank you Mark for the encouraging words my friend. An thank you for your feedback on how the Body Shave Soap works on the face.  I’ have a bit of a Peppermint addiction and use Peppermint, Shampoo for my hair , bar soap on the body and Shave soap and Skin Food Splash. I’m even using it in the winter now and then but in the summertime I I find myself reaching for it a lot. Like air conditioning on the whole body. Lol

I’ve got the Sweet Lavender coming for the misses with your pre order of the Blood Orange and your custom Chai Shave Creme order as soon as they are released.

Oh and a question as I have only used a synthetic did you use a badger brush with the Body Shave soap?

Regards!
I have used both a synthetic and Badger. The synthetic seems to lather a little easier

That’s what I’m seeing to. Just tried a 28 Badger and it was way to much lather for the 2 passes I normally do. 
Thanks Mark!

Update: 

Im sorry it’s taking so long to get some of my new releases out but I had another set back 3 days ago when my Diverticulitis came back or should I say it probably never left since the attack that landed me in the hospital. Long story short I didn’t listen to what the Dr in the hospital said about a 2nd dose of antibiotics as I thought I was getting better and no need for more drugs. Well I was wrong and I also didn’t read up on it enough about not eating certain foods like milk which I always have with my cereal in the morning. So little by little I started to feel some of the symptoms that I had before the first attack which was really unpleasant to say the least. Went to the Doctors yesterday and I’m back on the antibiotics and he gave me a pamphlet about what and what not to eat. He wants me to rest for a couple of days. That’s a hard pill to swallow since I’m behind schedule on all my releases. 

The good news is the Blood Orange Shave Creme, Skin Food Splash and EDT are done and labeled and will be up one day next week. The King of the North is also complete but the jars need labeling. 

I’ll take the Doctors advice and rest this weekend and hopefully be back on Monday. 

Sorry guys for the delays. 

Enjoy your weekend!

That’s for sure and thank you my friend. At least I caught it before an all out attack like I had the first time.
