They all blew us away today with how they came out and I don’t want to go into details about each one but after blending the final Kailua mixture and pouring it my helper Annette and I just looked at each other and we were like wow! We actually did this with each one. 

Below is an example of what an infusion looks like before I do the final mix and after and it’s in it’s bottle. You can see the fresh Grapefruit rind in the infusion if you look close. This is the Melange de Agrume that smells like you just cut open a Ruby Red Grapefruit. 

Of course I had to have some fun with Photoroom. 

Great shaves!

Was lucky enough to go after Frank on the AD razor pass around.  Smelled the new Fresco and Melanage - both are powerful (for a natural citrus), pure scents (lime and grapefruit respectively).  

Gentleman, they are the best 2 batches of each (trust me I know).  The scent of each has never been expressed more clearly or delivered at this level.  

The best of the best… and in the new F base.  Don’t walk, run to grab one!

I still have a good amount of an earlier vintage of the Melange d'agrumes skin food splash. But this image and testimonial has me thinking that I might need to relegate the earlier vintage to backup status. Smile

I used the new Fresco today.  More lime, no basil. Huge lather, great post shave, a truly remarkable summer scent. 

Melanage up next!

Thank you Mike 

The Fresco is now where I wanted it to be and the Skin Food Splash is also now a pure Lime via an infusion just like the Melange De Agrume and Lemoncello.

Hi Frank Smile

Long time no see. How have you been?

I have a question about Greenfresh.

Are you going to change some of the notes of it, lemongrass to lime?

Hi Brian
No I don't think LIme would work well at all as it's more bitter but with that said I have tried using a good Lemon and Lemongrass and Essential Oil blend and then use the same proportions of the Cucumber and the Spearmint and I actually like it better than just using the Lemongrass. It seems a bit brighter than just using the Lemongrass. I have been experimenting with this blend for quite a while as it's one of my personal favorite scents in certain products. In fact Greenfresh Shave soap is scheduled for Monday so it will be along soon.

Hope all is well with you and your family. The baby must have grown quite a bit since we last talked.

Best regards my friend

Frank

You don't have the required post count to access messages yet. Can't send one and you can't send or receive until you do.
