1. The website has been updated as far as inventory goes so just a heads up. 

2. So on Tuesday I have to go in for eye surgery ( Cataract ) so I'm going to be out for a couple of days from what I gather and then getting the 2 eye done in November.  Heard good things about the results so actually looking forward to it. So if you order anything this coming week please note they probably won't get shipped until I"m back and hopefully by Friday. 

3. On the Dragonsbeard limited in the Black Glass Jars we are probably about 12 days to 2 weeks away from those being ready for shipping. We will have the Shave Soap, Skin Food Splash and the Lotion available for that release. 


Have a great weekend everyone. 

Frank 

Thank you for the notice Frank

I haven't got an email back from you
but should I email you with my shipping address Frank?

or just do I have to wait until you post another notice later?

Hi Brain 

Yes I’ll be in touch in the next 10 days. 

Read the post below as it will explain how the limited release will be handled. 


Thank you 

Frank


Thank you Frank

I was a bit confused with the phrase 'those being ready for shipping' because of a language barrier sorry.. T_T

That sounded to me like they would be ready for shipping with the addresses that I guessed people gave you via emails so I wondered if I had to offer you the address in advance.

So I needed a certain word to understand more clearly. Please understand me. I didn't mean to offend.

I guessed excessively, too far

I was wrong but now I understand that you will be in touch for the detailed information like addresses from us when the products are ready. Sorry for keeping bothering you Frank.

Hi Brian 

First off your not bothering me my friend. That’s what I’m here for. 

So when the time draws closer to the release of the Dragonsbeard products I’ll be getting in touch with everyone on the waiting list and I’ll be sending them a link and when they get it all they have to do is click on it and they will be able to see the Dragonsbeard products. 

So I’ll be in touch! 

Kind regards

UPDATE:

So I’ve been wanting to post an update on the progress of the V4 Vanilla Safi project and it’s been coming up more than normal lately. I plan on having it ready for release in the late Fall but before the Holidays so somewhat of an open window but as I get some other projects out I’ll probably be able to give a more accurate date on the release. 

Up till now it’s the most time consuming, time management Aroma Blend and Shave Soap to put together and it’s still the most expensive of all of my other shave soaps.  Some said it was impossible to make a 100% Pure Vanilla Shave soap but with much deterioration and a lot of research and I’ll add a bit of lucky guessing back when I released V1 I not only proved to myself that it could be done but to some people that thought it couldn’t. I’ve learned a lot about infusions since then and I’m almost certain that this next batch , the V4 will surpass all the previous versions in both scent quality but also in performance. It will be released in the very latest version of the F Base with some slight upgrades in ingredients. The Aroma Infusion has me really excited as the Madagascar Vanilla Beans I acquired where by far the best I’ve ever smelled and they were the most plump and moist I’ve worked with yielding more of the Vanilla paste out of the beans. The infusion is smelling wonderful and in my humble opinion. I’ll not only be using it in the Vanilla Safi but a couple of other Fall/Winter Aroma Blends I have planned.  

Because of price I’m going to offer 4 different size options to choose from. One will be a 1 oz Travel or some may call trial size. Also the normal 4.5 and 7.5 oz sizes in my normal jars. There will also as an option for an upgrade to a beautiful Frosted Glass jars that I’ve gotten from Italy. They’re will be a limited number of them available. They are quite heavy  feel great in hand and with Glass the Shave Soaps natural ingredients will be in a very friendly environment. This will also be a 7.5 oz but in reality it’s almost 8 oz when filled to the very top which it will be. I will have a sign up list for this option when we get about 3 weeks away from release.  I’m also going to be making some post shaving products with the Aroma blend and I’ve decided to keep them all in sync so no additional aroma ingredients.  There will be some new upcoming optional aroma additives available that will be part of the Mixology Collection where one can add to the Vanilla base aroma for example. More on that in a future post. 

I’m going with the same label and I had fun with PhotoRoom with it. 

Thank have a great weekend everyone!

I was hoping to pick that up at the same time. I had not had full exposure to Ethos at the time of the previous release so missed out on splash and soap. But not this time Smile

Absolutely Dave 
I’m gonna launch the other products using the Dragonsbeard Aroma Blend at the same time that the vendors get all their Dragonsbeard products. 

Thank you my friend!

Oh then can't I order the skin food splash of Drangonsbeard at this time by email? Just only the soap this time?

As a stand alone the scent is amazing. As a mixer or enhancer it is truly more than an enhancement, it is a partner. That travel size will be perfect for some to dip their toe in the water.

I can’t resist Vanilla Safi one part and Ethos Bay Rum two parts.  Now to have them both in the new F base… take my money, 7,5oz. I almost got one on BST yesterday until I saw this.

Just a quick heads up to anyone that has an order in. As you know today all the postal services are closed due to Columbus Day. So all the orders have been filled and will be shipped out on our next shipping day which is Wednesday. Tomorrow morning is my eye surgery so I’m not 100% sure how long I’ll have to stay home. Hopefully not long. So I just wanted to give a heads up in case someone was ready to order something as it probably won’t get filled and shipped until I’m at least able to go into work.

Best regards

Frank

New News

So we just finished with the design today. 

For future reference, If you get an F Base Shave Soap and it has this label on the bottom it means that the jar of shave soap is the most current version of the F Base. There are some shave soaps that I have over 100 side labels for that reflected the older F Base and it’s a waste of money to throw that many away especially if their the newest designs and materials. So if get a F Base Shave Soap and it doesn’t have this label on the bottom the. Know it’s from the previous batch’s of the last version of the F Base. Some soaps may have gone out prior to this label that were indeed the latest F Base but had the older label on it. I’m out of work now as I’m getting prepared for tomorrow’s surgery but I’ll check which ones may have gone out.  The list of ingredients on the below label would be on the side label and so example if it says Ostrich Oil then rest assured you have the newest F Base. 

Of course all new Aromas will have the latest ingredients on the side label. These are temporary and only will be used when needed and until all side labels are caught up.

Any questions please post and I’ll try to respond depending on what happens tomorrow. 

Best regards 

Frank

Which one you guys like better? One of my customers thought the one above is to busy for the bottom label and so doesn’t my graphic designer as she likes this one better as she said easier to read. Again these are only Temporary.

The second one, I think, is more noticeable and gets the point across.
