Hello everyone
I'd like to start off by apologizing for taking so long to set up my Merchants section. I've been wanting to set it for a while and I've finally found a day to do get it up. I'll be adding to it quite a bit in the following days to come.
As some my know from my thread in the Soaps & Creams section I've been announcing new releases and posting updates in there and in my opinion some of those should be here.
A little bit about me. I've been a wet shaving for a little over 18 years now and my reason as others was for one I was getting terrible shaves using cartridge razors, didn't like the price I had to pay for 3 replacement cartridges. So based on my childhood memories of watching my dad shaving using his twist to open Gillette razor, Old Spice shave soap and aftershave and watching him swirling his brush in his Old Spice Shave bowl or mug ( he had both ) I also remembered how once in a while he'd let me lather up my face and he'd take the blade out of the razor and I'd pretend to shave off the lather. I thought that was pretty cool at the time. So I got my first razor 18 years ago and it was a Gillette Fatboy. Didn't know a darn thing about what I was buying just that you had to twist it to open it and it looked similar to what my dad had and I thought the name was cool. My dad started to use Proraso Green shave soap years later so when I started wet shaving I only had Proraso Green and Old Spice. Still have some vintage Old Spice products when I want a trip down memory lane and my dad and Proraso Green will always remain in my den. So for the first 5 years of my wet shaving journey it was a Fatboy razor, Proraso Shave Cream, a Feather blade, a cheap badger brush that was probably only a 22 inch knot with a wooden handle. An then I got the bug! Started collecting vintage razors and didn't buy modern razor until the Tradere, Feather SS, Ikon Dual Comb came out and I had all 3. Also went on a spending spree at the AOS store on what I thought was a really good Silvertip badger brush and 2 full sets of the AOS Sandalwood and Lavender. Well I won't bore you with the journey from there to present day. So here I am with my own line of wet shaving products and it's only been a little over a year since forming ETHOS Grooming Essentials and I honestly have to say I'm really enjoying this and I'd like to send a shout out to my shaving friends who encouraged me to create a Wet shaving line as I was reluctant at the time having my hands full with both the haircare line I own but my other job as a product developer. I've been very fortunate to have worked with some of the very best Cosmetic Chemists, Operational Chemists, manufactures, Ingredient companies for over 27 years now.
When I made the commitment to start ETHOS Grooming Essentials it was and still is my objective to bring skin care technology to the wet shaving community along with the highest quality ingredients which I'm constantly sourcing globally.
I'd also like to say that I like to make myself available to all my customers who'd like to contact me to talk shaving and shaving products etc. So here's the link to the ETHOS website. https://ethosgroomingessentials.com/
Also here is my email address. Ethosgroomingessentials@gmail.com
So please if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Thank you and Great shaves!
