I’ve been getting a lot of messages about the Tonka Bean release and at this point it looks like Tuesday will be the release date.  

Also the Non Alcohol Skin Food lotions should be ready as well on Tuesday. 


Thank you and great shaves!
Just checking in here Frank....
Will those go up today?
Also, are any of the others currently on your site the "new" S Base?

Hi Matt 

We had to delay the Tonka Bean until tomorrow as we had a technical problem with the website but it’s fixed and we are looking at around 10 am 

The only new S Base soaps I have are both the Lavender Supreme and the Succes. Also have them both in F Base just need to get them labeled and they’ll go up on the site as a restock. 

Thank Matt!

So the F Base Lavender Supreme and the F Base Succes will be released probably either on Saturday, Sunday or Monday at the latest. They’ve been curing and they all have to be labeled. I’m in the Labs all day tomorrow so Fridays the first day me and my assistant can get to them. 

It’s just the Tonka Bean tomorrow.

So I had a custom order from aboard and it was quite the expensive order which included a Vanilla Safi and a custom real 1959 Mysore Sandalwood Shave Creme. There was also a F base Nuage de Citron, Lost Souls, Fresco, Lavender Supreme and custom Citrus blend Creme. Well he ordered before I had my 50% non refundable deposit policy in place on custom orders and he messaged me yesterday and said money is tight and he had to cancel the order. I obviously wasn’t pleased he kept increasing his order and then decides to just cancel it not considering the time and money I have into the order. This order has been a continuous add on order for over 6 month now and I’ve been holding some of the F Base soaps for him that sold out. So I was on the phone with a couple of my friends/customers yesterday and because they missed out on the Nuage de Citron, Lost Souls and Fresco those are gone and the Custom Citrus Shave Creme as well. The Lavender Supreme F base I just made so that can go back in stock but I still have the one Vanilla Safi and the Custom Mysore Sandalwood Creme left. 

I know the Vanilla Safi will go very quickly if I put it up on the site but thought I’d post it here first if anyone wants one. 

As far as the Mysore Sandalwood Shave Creme as you may suspect it was quite expensive. That particular 1959 Vintage Mysore was over $600 an oz!  I’m not looking to make money on this one but just to break even so I’ll let it go for what I’ve got into it as I’d like someone to be able to enjoy it. So if anyone is interested please message me by pm or email. 

While on the subject, this is an example of why I put the 50% non refundable deposit/ non returnable policy in place, especially when dealing with expensive or in this case extremely expensive Aroma ingredients. It’s also not just about the cost of the ingredients but also the amount of time spent making both those Custom products. 

So let me know and on the Mysore Sandalwood Creme which is a vegan one we can discuss the option of converting it into a Tallow Creme or even a soft soap.

If I have no interest I’ll just keep it myself as I love the smell! Hi


Great shaves!

Great shaves!

That's crazy when people can't live up to their word on a custom order, especially of that size. I understand things come up/happen, but an ongoing order for 6 months should have been planned for and set funds aside. Glad it's all mostly covered Frank !

An yes it was more about him adding more items to his order and then just cancelling and leaving me hanging.
