What soap/cream did you use today?

I don't usually post product reviews, but in the case of Ethos Vanilla Safi, had to make an exception. Just received these products in the mail yesterday.

What can I say? These are simply the best soap and the best post shave products I have ever used. Let's start with the soap. I dabbed a small amount into the bottom of my Captain's Choice bowl, and spread it around. It did not take much water, and I had an incredibly dense, vanilla scented, lubricious lather. Great cushion and glide. Yesterday I did three passes, but this morning I limited myself to two, and I have a very good BBS still. Key point: no irritation. In addition to vanilla, there are notes of spice. Pumpkin pie? Very seasonal.

The serum is in a league of its own. This stuff takes just a drop, and it spreads over your entire face. The smell is strong and lingering, but not overpowering -- it lasted overnight. The remarkable thing is that there are obviously oils in it, yet there is no greasy feeling on your skin. It absorbs quickly and readily, and your skin feels incredibly hydrated and supple. The scent too lasted overnight.

Only problem is that now I need to purchase the Lemoncello and accompanying serum, so I don't only smell like vanilla all the time. The part of me that shaves is happy, but the part that pinches pennies is less pleased. 

Honestly, as far as penny pinching goes, the products are pricey, but you get what you pay for and then some. It takes so little. The serum will last quite some time, and it's difficult to imagine using up the soap.

Great stuff. Keep it coming Frank!
