The Bay Rum family has been extended! 2 EDT’s and a Tortola Skin Food Lotion. 

In both the Bay Rum Aromas I can see other products joining the family. How about you? Any ideas?  Please free to post them up. 

Have a good one gentlemen!

I recently received Ethos Success as well. As is typical with the brand, it’s fantastic. It smells great and performance is amazing, but for me - the most outstanding attribute is the post shave feel. Ethos is just the best 
IMHO!

Frank, I am thrilled you are going to see an orthopedic doctor (based on my experiences). Hopefully, you can get over this with passive treatment (knee brace, physical therapy, pain pills, taking it easy, etc.) versus invasive treatment. Stay positive and you have my best wishes. Thanks for keeping us informed with your great updates. PS...the Rosa products are fantastic.

Thank you sir!

I’m glad you enjoyed the Succes it has gone through some changes to the base but it’ was one of my very first shave soaps I ever made. I’m fact I developed the Aroma blend before I ever got into the shave making business. I made some solid colognes that brought to my first Maggards Shave Meet and handed them out to my shaving buddies I met there and they were the ones that encouraged me to start my business. Succes is a steady seller like the Lavender Supreme, another original.

Best regards

Frank

Thought you guys might get a kick out if this. So yesterday I finally made the Watermelon Mint Shave Soap and the Skin Food Splash.  I got done filling the jars pretty late and headed home for some dinner so when I got to work this morning and opened the door boy did that watermelon aroma hit me in the face.  Thought I’d have some fun with my PhotoRoom app and creates a picture for social media.  In person the soap looks like a lighter color of watercolor flesh. The remaining infusion is in the photo to as I thought some might like to see the finished product.  I will say it’s one of the messiest infusions I’ve done so far but it was worth it. I put a little on my face and you can feel the coolness of the mint but it’s not as strong as the Peppermint but similar to the Greenfresh. I’ll have to do a side by side to see which one cools more  The Watermelon definitely dominates the mint as far as scent goes but a deep whiff will reveal the mint in the blend. 

Anyway all the labels came in so we’ll be getting a whole bunch of things out he door to the vendors this coming week. 

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

How do yall like the Ethos lineup? Is the price step-up worth it compared to some of the other artisans on the market?
