Had a chance to try Tentazione this afternoon. Wow, what a great smell. It's a sweet complex smell, which remains crisp and clean. This is definitely my favorite of those I've tried (Tentazione, Aion, Voyager, and Ingress).

Is this scent, by chance, on the schedule for more stock? Thanks.

I'm delighted you like Tentazione. It' now the top seller of all GD soaps! I'm releasing it again sometime in March, with a less controversial label Smile 

BTW, the painting on the label was done by William Blake

Awesome. I can absolutely see how it would be the top seller. I will definitely keep an eye out for it in March. Thanks!

Mohammad was kind enough to include a sample of Kairos in my recent order. I used it now three times and it did not disappoint. The consistency of a "croap" makes it exceptionally easy to load. When I started face lathering I was a bit concerned for the first 30 seconds because I could not produce much lather. But then it "clicked" and with additional hydration and lathering the lather became abundant, very dense and outrageously slick. I used approximately 3gr of the product and it lasted me through the three passes and a bit of clean up. I did not use any prep or post shave products. In about half hour after I finished shaving my skin still felt hydrated and nourished. The faint, yet very present floral scent (lilac or honeysuckle?) was pleasant and refreshing. I look forward to the final version of this base!

I cannot stop being impressed with Mo's drive to create and ability to deliver!

Thank you ANG69 for taking the time to try Kairos!

I'm delighted you noticed the super slickness Kairos affords! New versions are even much slicker! 

The Kairos formula came about from the liquid soupy Lusso. As the liquid Vertias aged, it showed some amazing traits I have never seen in anything I made before. Kairos does have somewhat different ingredients from Lusso though!

I plan on releasing the Kairos in this faint Muguet scent, it'll be called Initium and the other scent will be called Otium: scent notes: Yerba Mate, tobacco and violet.

The new year is off to a great start! 

Aion is simply skin care at its best. Wonderful soap all around with an amazing post shave. 

Kairos is incredibly slick with a smooth long lasting post shave. The lather is built towards that slickness so nice for straight razor shavers. I got an incredibly close shave on 24 hour growth with a Gillette Skinguard which likes a slicker lather. Two day face and head shave with a Karve C plate was outstanding as well. Looking forward to the final release version. The light floral scent is a great addition.

mrlandpirate Happy New Year!

I hope to have V2 serums, the unscented preshave, and the Hydrating Gel ready in the next 10 days. 

The V2 serum is lighter, quicker to absorb too. It'll be in 1oz treatment pump bottle. The original serum has sold quite well. I believe the smaller size/quantity bottle will help to get the serum in more shaving dens Smile
