ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Fridays with Frank ...
  

  
Brush .... Tatara Muramasa Adjustable (Synthetic)
Soap1 .... ETHOS Bay Rum
Soap2 .... ETHOS Vanilla Safi
Razor .... Tatara Amakuni
Blade .... Kai Titan Mild ProTouch MG
Post ..... ETHOS Bay Rum SFS
Post ..... ETHOS Vanilla Safi SFS
Finish ... Les Indemodables Vanille Havane EDT

Today's shave was like out of a really sweet dream.  I borrowed a page out of dtownvino's playbook and scraped some ETHOS Bay Rum and Vanilla Safi together into a bowl, using a roughly 2 to 1 ratio.  Swirling some hot water over the soap softened it, and setting the brush to 1 - the lowest, stiffest loft - made quick work of picking the softened soap up and out of the bowl grooves.  Working the suds for a couple of minutes produced a beautiful lather.  FWIW I set the brush to 2 for a little scrub on the first pass, and to about 2 1/2 thereafter.  The Amakuni and ProTouch MG also worked beautifully.  

Hi Mike - glad you enjoyed it as well!  I have really found this to be my favorite “combination” scent I follow it up with splashes and I even lotions.   I have the bay rum EDT but I bet a vanilla bay rum EDP would also be a great seller ;-)

Yes indeed, I am glad I shaved that shave!  I selected the Vanille Havane because it's a fav and it has prominent vanilla and rum notes.  However, I can see where a vanilla bay rum EDP would be a great seller, and it would in all likelihood be more focused too.

I had a great shave with TOAD today and just placed my order for Lost Souls. Can't wait to try it out.

Violeta shave today

Sunday, February 2, 2025 - Shave of the Day

Soap  ||  ETHOS Shave MD Tribute
Razor  ||  Blackland Blackbird / Astra SP (4)

Ok Guys I think I have my answer to what to do with the remaining 6lbs of bulk Shave Soap...It's a continuation of TOAD time! 


I'm going to make a few of the jars in the Limited Edition Black Glass jars and the rest in the 4.5 oz regular jars. 

I have 14 Top and Side Labels in stock so that's how many I'm going to make. My question is how many to make out of the 14 in the Limited Edition Black Glass Jars. I was thinking either 4 of LTD and 10 of the 4.5's or split it down the middle and do 7 of the LTD and 7 of the 4.5 oz size

Need some feedback on this one as I plan on making them on Monday morning. 



On another subject

I'm very curious and maybe some of you can answer. For a long time DFS made up the biggest majority of my sales and at this time it has gone down to #2 behind Instagram and not for lack of support from DFS but a lot of the Instagrm buyers are from other countries and I get that but what I'm wondering about is how many members on here that have IG accounts DON"T USE their screen names they use on here? Reason I ask is now and then I recognize a customers real name when they put their order in but not sure if they were from here or IG.  I know my curiosity sometimes is a problem!     

Thanks guys! 

Frank

I was just curious how to purchase one of these once they become available. Will they appear on the Ethos website at some point?

I'm glad more folks will get to experience this amazing scent! (Also, FYI, I use a different name here than I do on Instagram.)

Awesome SOTD photos guys! You’re using one of my favorites currently and I could kick myself in the butt for not making a huge batch of the RT.

Thank you
