Frank, do you think I’ll get my shipment of Dragonsbeard? I wonder what condition it will be in if I ever get it? Last time I looked The Hague was on a different continent than where I live. I don’t think the trans polar route from you to me is shorter than the straight line

OMG!  I'm really sorry Marko.  You may have just broken the needle on the USPS Oops! meter.  For whatever small comfort it may be, at least Dragonsbeard is worth waiting for.

That’s unbelievable and I’m sorry about this but this is the 2nd time I’ve seen this type of thing happen. One order that was heading to Atlanta went on a trip all over the place and even went as far off track as Puerto Rico and it took almost 2 weeks to get to the customer.

Please keep me posted.

UPDATES:

1. I didn’t think this was possible this year but I made a decision and my website developer made it happen so I’m happy to announce that we will offer a Black Friday 10% discount site wide. This is on any item we offer on the website.

2. So unfortunately I’ve put the cart before the horse when I announced 2 new vendors as they’ve reached out to me and have to postpone joining our family for now due to some issues they’ve experienced this last quarter. Id like to keep their names private. With that said I’m happy to announce that Top of The Chain has gotten back to me and we will be putting an order together now. An I’m very happy to have Carmine back onboard for our Canadian customers ( Marko )

On the vendor subject I’m also happy that both The Razor Company and Pasteur’s Pharmacy have sold all or almost all of their recent order in record time and placed another order. The reason I’m sharing this is that both owners were amazed by the fact that they both did no marketing other than putting the inventory in stock. So this has proven the few naysayers wrong that a Shaving soap that’s not in the $20 range won’t sell.


3. It’s exactly one month away from my retirement from my other job so I’ll be working Monday through Friday and be able to take weekends off which will be new to me as I’ve been averaging 6 to 7 days a week for over a year now and it was starting to get to me so the 21st of December can’t come fast enough. Being able to work 5 straight days in a row will also enable me to put out products more efficiently.

4. Leading up to the Christmas holidays there are 3 releases I’m focusing on. The Beaute Sauvge and the 2 Bay Rums. I’ll also be throwing in some of my standards that I’m running very low on or sold out of. I’ve gotten a lot of messages about Tonka Bean, Lost Souls, King of the Nort and Vanilla Safi and I will begin working on them after the next 3 I mentioned. Somewhere within those will be the Russian Tea that I just started the infusion process of.


That’s about it for now.


Great shaves all

Frank

This part is so important.

We know what ETHOS gives to people for the current prices.

Skin recovery, nice scents and thereby healing for the exhausted soul.

The products are worth the prices.

Gentleman, I tried V4 of Dragonsbeard for
my last 4 shaves.  

I have only one new observation.  This is really slick soap. Usually I would say that Ethos F base is very slick… but this is the slickest soap I have used that isn’t loaded with silicones.  

If you have the new F base from earlier this year, do you notice it as well?

This batch I declare the best soap I have ever used!
