Whatever mojo you put in this stuff is rockin the house for me Frank.  The performance was excellent, which we have come to expect from you, and I keep sniffing the jar.  After ordering the soap, I grabbed a bottle of the matching EDP, which is not something I do very often, but I am very glad now to have done so.  (The EDP should be here soon, and the Uomo did fine for now.)

Thank you Mike for the support! I’m glad you enjoy the Aroma Blend. I’ll admit I keep sniffing the jar a lot as well! Lol 

Be careful with the EDP.. a little goes a long way. It’s very close to an Elixir rather than an EDP as far as the percentage of the Aroma Blend. I would have called it an elixir but the labels were already printed. It got some longevity to it for sure.

Man, Frank - you have generated a cult following. And it is well deserved. Great stuff the whole line up. I have been using Agrumes this week. It was your veryfirst base - the cream like soap. Not soft anymore brother. It has firmed up and is a nice hard croap allowing me to hit the jar as I am prone.

Eyeballin' your Tonka and 'santal' release. Next week? I need your new SDWD Frank!

Even soap by itself has great longevity. AS makes it more than 12 hours. 
I think AS is more tobacco forward. I feel like I would prefer use it in winter. Only soap in summer.  
I wonder whether you will release any summer scents like aqua or shore??

Thank you Frank.  I will be careful.  OT1H I do want to smell good.  OTOH - as Dave in KY might say - I don't want to be "that guy".   Wink

Thanks my friend for the encouraging words! I don’t know about a cult following but I sure do have some great customers, that’s for sure. A bunch of them allow me to mix them up some crazy custom stuff which I really enjoy.

Oh and what’s SDWD? I’m puzzled on those group of letters.

So the Melange de Agrume got firmer with age. That’s interesting. I don’t have any left except some samples and I’ll have to check them to see if they’ve firmed up also. Sometimes soap and especially creams do that. I have two original AOS creams that are now like a very hard soap. Still work well and like you said it’s so easy to load from the jar.

Great shaves!

You know it’s funny I was just talking to a customer today about the Mandarino Fumo and I said to him I’m one of those seasonal scent guys and it was my plan to come out with it a while back when it was still winter but because of some health issues I had starting in December that kept me out of work I got way behind schedule with all my soap production. I’m a little obsessed with the scent and I’ll use it now here and there but I know for sure I’ll be picking up the tub a whole lot when fall comes around.

So to answer your question, yes I have plans for some summer type scents. Right after I get the Sandalo Artistico released I’ll be working on bringing back the Nuage de Citron, the Fresco, Vetivert and a Bay Rum with two different variants of Skin Food Splashes. One that’s more traditional Bay Rum and the other one more of a tropical Bay Rum My next Tallow Shave Creme will be a refreshing Bergamotto and then another one that’s a Italian inspired blend.
And shortly a very special Tribute shave soap and splash which I’ll be announcing next week and it’s definitely a more light citrusy type Aroma blend.

Great shaves my friends!

UPDATE: 



Ok I know sone have asked about these and I’ve been waiting on the labels and they finally arrived. I’ve had the Non Alcohol Skin Food lotion ready for a couple of weeks or so and we are almost ready to get them to our vendors and up on the site. 

Here are the scents that I’m offering to start out with and I’ll add more along the way. 

They have a significant amount of Skin Beneficial ingredients that address not only the Epidermis layer of the skin but also the Dermis layer. So you know the texture & Viscosity of the product, it is a shear lotion so a little thicker than a milk and not as thick as a balm. 

Below are the ingredients and this is for the Fresco so all the Skin Food Lotion ingredients are the same except for the Aromas. 

Aloe Vera Juice, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), EOS Complex, Organic Sicilian Lime Distilled Essential Oil, Fresh Lime/Fresh Basil Infusion, Organic Spearmint Essential Oil, Organic Vegetable Glycerin, Oat Amino Acids, Ceramide Complex, Sorbitan Oilvate, Green Tea Extract, Niacinamide, D – Panthenol, Collagen Protein, Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Organic Liquid Lecithin, Organic Acacia Gum, Xanthan Gum, Roman Chamomile Hydrosol, Alce Vera Extract, Sea Buckthorn Extract, Honeysuckle Extract, Calendula Extract.

Left to right: Blood Orange, DFS Colonia, Fresco, Lavender Supreme and Succes. Scent strength is not as strong as in a splash but not bad at all. 

Packaging is a white glass 2 oz bottle with a lotion pump on it for easy dispensing. Start out with less and add more if needed.

Great shaves all!
