Hoping it will appear Monday. Until then I will live vicariously through other Violeta posts.

The postal service can be so erratic lately. You never know. I had one customers package go all the way to Utah from here in NY on its way to NC. Go figure how that happened.  So I know what you’re up against.
Keep us posted!
Had a package leave New York City 4 days ago. Just got an update it made it the 10 miles to Newark, NJ......Last week had 1 go from NY to Florida to Nashville to Virginia to me in KY.
Wow. These kinda things make you want to scream, especially when they announce they're raising rates.

I thought DeJoy was going to turn it around? I guess he only spoke about profit ... Not quality of service.

Yes it’s in the schedule for the next two weeks along with both the Bay Rums. I just began to make the Nuage de Citron and the Vetivert yesterday and will finish it tomorrow. 

I have to squeeze in the Honeysuckle as well. 

So Shave MD will be coming soon. 

Thank you for asking

Damnit Frank! Dragonsbeard, just when I haven't bought any new soap in a long time (and wasn't planning to), you plan on releasing this! So much for not buying any new soaps...  Rolleyes Big Grin

UPDATE: 

After getting some messages from customers/members on here i thought id share what products are coming out in the next 10 days to 3 weeks. Of course most of these come with at least a Skin Food Splash but some have other post shave products like Non Alcohol Skin Food Lotion, Revitalizing Serum, EDT or EDP, Shampoo/ Body Wash, Roll - Shave Soap etc. etc. 

1. Both of these F Base Soaps are next up as they were just made.

2. This will be made this weekend and will include a Matching Skin Food Splash.

4. The Derma Boost 

is about 2 weeks away and I’m very excited about this skin care product. It is the first product in our new “ Skin Care Collection “ Think of this as Superfood for your skin and also as an additive to increase the skin benefits of your Shave Soaps &  Cremes but more so to add to your post shave products. This is highly concentrated, and comes with a dropper. I’m releasing this in a 30 ml bottle for now as I’d like people to use it properly. The reason I say this is yes it can be used straight on the skin. It’s benefits to the skin are many but for now I’m focused on getting folks to use it as an additive. I will be coming out with a larger size in the future.

5. The next two are ones that’s are very special and personal to me for different reasons. One is in memory and a tribute to my good friend Mark aka ShaveMD who sadly passed away and he was a good ambassador and contributor to the wet shaving community.  He is very much missed!  He called this Aroma Blend Ginger ale and for those that got it the first time it was made most agree with that summary of the scent.

This one is a personal thing to me as I’ve always been fascinated this animal and I’ve been donating every year for a long time to help save this magnificent animal. The Tiger has been my favorite since I was a little kid. My aunt lived right next to not only our local zoo but right next door to the woman that was the head of the zoo and many times she’d bring home baby animals like Lions, Bears, Leopards and my favorite the baby Tigers and I got a chance to play with them and it was instant love.  So this release will be exclusive to the ETHOS website. I’ll go into more details on the release and product when it’s made which should be this coming week.

7. Watermelon Mint is all about and infusion idea I had and it’s becoming a reality soon. I think it will be an awesome hot weather aroma blend. It’s all natural and I’ll post more details when it’s close to release which should be in 2 to 3 weeks at the most.

8. Last but not least are all the Bay Rum products.  New batches of the Traditional Bay Rum that now also includes both a EDT and the new Tallow Based Roll - Up Shave Stick. 

Also the release of the new Tortola F Based Shave Soap, an EDT and a Non Alcohol Skin Food Lotion.  

Tortola is one of my go to scents right now so I’m pretty excited and looking forward to having more than a Skin Food Splash in the Aroma

Oh and I almost forgot one that I’ll be making and release within the next 3 weeks 

An old friend. Fresco. Also in the new F Base.

Well these are the latest updates for now. Hopefully I’ve answered the questions I’ve been asked with this post. 

Great Shaves all  Happy2

Wow, so many great choices. I need to go away before my $$$ account gets depleted. Vetivert has been on my list for a long time and Honeysuckle is a given. Fresco sound like something I'd enjoy, especially if the spearmint note is noticeable. And then there's my lonely bottle of Tortola SFS that would like a soap partner. Lastly, the Derma Boost. I will keep an eye on this one too.

Fresco is lime forward, the other notes are more in the background. (Which I'm happy about.)
