I get fantastic lather and post shave feel with the 2002 Kairos.

I'm late to the Ethos party, but as the saying goes, "Better late than never.".   I suppose that's one of the problems of having lots of soaps.

First off, great job on the scent Frank Dragonsbeard !  I'll be the first to admit a little apprehension whether the scent would be to my liking. Turns out, it's a winner in my book and more in my wheelhouse than imagined. 

Only one use in, and yep...the base is also stellar. I probably loaded my brush less than half the time as I normally would, and still had tons of delightful smelling lather. It's super easy to dial in, too. 

The post is also great. My face feels clean and moisturized, but not overly so. No greasiness...just clean. Well done Frank! This won't be my last Ethos soap.

Cooled down these last few days but heat is coming back! Seems like the whole of the west is on fire this year.  It was time for some bracing chill so Stirling to the rescue.  I know many have good luck with cold water shaves but I’m not one of them.  Cold water puckers up my skin and seems to put armor plate on my whiskers. It’s more like a tug-o-war than a shave.  Some good old menthol gets the cool happening but allows hot water to be part of the mix

And yes, my latest river launch was cancelled. Can’t imagine why?

Cold water doesn't help my whiskers get shaveable either. Sorry about the cancellation and hope things improve for all !

Thank you sir and I’m glad you enjoyed the Aroma and performance. Honestly I wasn’t to sure on the Honeysuckle when TommyCarioca and Nero politely asked me to make the Honeysuckle but I’m now onboard the scent. Sometimes the customers know best. I’m learning to listen. Lol

Oh and welcome to the family.
