well I really like V1 so I'll just have to get both
Cheers
Oh just saw you pulled the V1 looks like I'll have to wait

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.

Happy New Year vtmax 

Thank you for taking the time to trying Kairos! 

Kairos is a milestone in formula design at GD! What I have learnt from working on Nai+Kairos will influence the other formulas in the future. I'm delighted to see how well liked the faint scent on the samples that went out! The exact scent will be one of the first Kairos releases, it'll be called Initium.

Kairos Cream in airless pump bottle is under development

Onwards and upwards!

Yes, the Kairos and Nai post shave are really special. One thing I noticed I was shaving quickly with the Kairos probably as a result of the enhanced slickness. The razors glided easily and swiftly which I liked.

As a frequent traveler the Kairos cream pump will be a dream

@“vtmax” Onwards and upwards it is

Here is the first announcement for 2020!

GroomingDept I just ordered my first Grooming Dept double dip - a second Aion.  I'm going to leave my first one open to "rot" and keep the second closed until I finish the first.  Most of my soaps shrink without being open.  I guess being in the southeast and having the AC running from late April to late October/early November and the heat going from November through March keeps the humidity pretty low in my house. (I always leave my soaps open for at least 24 hours after shaving.)  I wonder how it compares to a San Francisco area home. 

Also, I'm really looking forward to Boomer and Incense and Oud aftershaves!

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  

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

I LOVE that Label, The Temptation of Eve.  The sweet complex scent of your soap exemplifies exactly what you are doing to us, Your Customers.  Temptation of your products through scent and their wonderful base! Using Blake’s work was genius, certainly one of the greats during the Romantic Period. Maybe a soap specific  for “Red Dragon and The Beast” is in order?

ExtraProtein Thank you for the kind words! Here is the new label for Tentazione. It's a paining done by Gustav Klimt.

Beautiful!

You might want to keep The Lady in Gold (aka Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I) in the the back of your mind too.  Also by Klimt, this painting has a powerful and moving history.

Thank you HighSpeed Another Klimt is planned for Valentine's Day. The soap is called Amare. I'll make sure it's not soupy this time

Also beautiful!  Brief digression:

We were in Belgium some years back for our nephew's wedding.  Mrs. Highspeed saw a lovely tapestry of The Kiss, about 88cm x 65cm.  She fell in love with it on the spot, so we shipped it home, framed it, and hung it at the head of the dining room table.  We hosted an open house this New year's Day, and the painting (tapestry) got a lot of attention.  I'm sure Amare will too.
