I don't know what it is, maybe the artwork on the label, but Russian Tea makes me want to be a night shaver.  The scent seems like a perfect way to end your day.

Great looking photo and I agree. The first time I used the soap that’s what I said to myself. This is a scent I could use before bedtime as I find it relaxing. Im so glad Dave in KY pushed me to take on this project. An thank you for the feedback.


All the best

Another good looking SOTD and thank you for sharing. How do you like the razor? I’ve often wondered how that razor shaves.

It's sharp and it cuts. I like it...

Came in today and like everyone else has posted and said, the Russian Tea is as advertised. The splash is full of naturals as one can see by the pics below. Make sure you get a good shake on as all the good stuff is in there. The first is unshaken with the second being well agitated. The soap & splash are simply top notch just like everything else I’ve tried from Frank. It has the signature citrus melange that Ethos has in nearly all their products, opening with a slight touch of Ethos Blood orange but, the spice, aromatic and herbal tea nuances comes through nicely with almost a very light natural honey like accord. Marvelous really as the splash comes through a little spicier and a tad sweeter. I wouldn’t change a thing. Bravo Frankie, Bravo…

Thanks for the feedback brother Gus and I’m glad you brought up and showed how important it is to shake these Skin Food Splashes especially if their infusion blends as the Russian Tea is one of them.

Kind regards

Frank

Frank,


Sorry this reply is so late.  The Single Edge I have is the first version they released, as I got it through their KickStarter campaign.  To me, it is not a very efficient razor but it will get the job done if you're careful.  When I first got it, I had a bad habit of using more pressure than I should in trying to make it shave like some of my aggressive razors, and I got all kinds of razor burn doing this.  That's not what this particular version is about.  It will give you a good DFS if you let it.  Also, I have all three plates and I always use the most aggressive (3-dot) one.  Hope this helps...some...

I've been using the Lavender Suprême skin food splash daily on my head and face since receiving it last month. Even on days that I don't shave, I use it because of the effect it has on my skin. My head and face are pretty oily, and some post-shave products made things worse. But the Ethos skin food splash has a nice, long-lasting mattifying effect and doesn't make my skin feel greasy.

Disaster struck when I accidentally knocked something over in my bathroom cabinet, it careened right into my bottle of skin food splash, and sent the bottle falling to the floor. When I said that my Ethos order "certainly won't be my last," I wasn't expecting to place another order so soon. But this stuff is so good that I'll gladly buy it again.

That sucks! I know the feeling amigo. It's happened to me on more than one occasion.  Hopefully Frankie can dispatch your order soon so that you don't miss much days in the skin satisfying splashes that Ethos delivers. I agree that the Ethos skin food splashes & lotions are some of the best in the industry.
