The scent may be the best Mohammad has ever done.  I left mine uncovered in my bathroom for 3 days and it is now thick enough to store on its side but definitely lost a considerable amount due to evaporation.  It will be great to have a replacement tub of this because it will get used a lot!!  The Lusso base is now neck and neck at number 2 with the Mallard base for me.  Of course the Donkey Milk, lamb tallow, duck fat combo is still the best soap in the world right now.  Can’t wait for the next Mallard soaps to be released!!  By the way, I am using the hell out of the pre shave and post shave serum and have barely had it a dent in any of my containers of either.  I think I “need” to get one more scented bottle of the post shave serum as I have one scented and one unscented.  Anyway, trying to figure out if I “need” to get any of the aftershaves when they are released.  Trying to figure out which one will be best for me.  Assuming sensitive skin would need the non alcohol version.  Any thoughts Mo?

Hi george1906 Super happy you like Veritas, and thank you for the wonderful Instagram post too.

I believe the alcohol free aftershaves to be an essential component of the Grooming Dept System I'm building. If you look a the ingredients, they're an entire set of ingredients that complements the serum. For example The alcohol free aftershave contains Niacinamide which is a phenomenal ingredient.

BTW. All ingredients Grooming Dept uses are available everywhere. I don't view anything as "Signature Ingredient" Smile


So would the after shave go on before the post shave serum or after?

Almost ready to go. As soon as the Veritas replacement ships out. I can use the space for bottling and labeling. Hopefully before month's end.

On a side note I just LOVE the [stolen] art work on the tub. LOVE IT.

Hi Dilligaf I'm sorry, no Veritas aftershave this year, but certainly next year. Thank you for asking.

I want to make sure all replacements have shipped. I'll list additional Veritas jars later in the week.

Smile Thanks very much Mohammad.  That's good to know.

Update on the Veritas -

It’s been uncovered for about 3 and half days and it has settled and dried up nicely. Not hardened to a soap or croap but, more of a dense cream like. Only thing is that I’ve lost about a third of the product in the process. First shave with it later today and looking forward to it’s performance. The scent has settled a bit and actually smells quite nice. It’s on.....Character
