That is a pricey one. I did smell it at TRC and thought it smelled outstanding. I just wish that anyone who buys it, enjoys it thoroughly. Have a great day.

Morning Chris. Nice shave today. Sending all my prayers to you and your family. Stay safe and God bless. Morning.

[gordonchristie]

Great shave Chris, man you are looking great the weight has fallen off you. I hope that you have a great day.
Very best regards Gordon 👍

We are truly blessed to have so many different opinions in this hobby. While this may not be a soap for most wet shavers, I appreciate the fact this artisan is using the very best ingredients that they can source. This is enough to make me want to try it. Have a great Friday.

[mattfox]

I think I would be disappointed if it wasn’t markedly better than a fair priced soap. Good info Chris. Have a great show tonight.

[dzangistamelonne]

Me too I very very appreciate you really! Communication very very important for customers!

[mikeperritte]

Great shave. I can tell you enjoyed that scent and it sounds wonderful. Have a blessed day and weekend

I'm agreeing with many of the people here in the comments that the price is just too high, no matter how good it smells. I get the high-end and exclusive nature of certain products and I think they have their place. Maybe that's the point here. They are pricing it to be exclusive and aren't worried about the fact that most people won't buy it. Fair enough. I accept that it's not for me and move on. I'm glad that you got to try it however and can tell us that it does, in fact, smell very good. As always, thanks for the video. I hope you had a great day!

Nice! I don't make soaps, but being a maker I have some understanding of using very high quality materials and how that translates into a finished product. It's also a balancing act and if a material is going to drive the price too high, I'd look for an alternative. I'm already seeing some prices, that are out of my comfort zone and this one leaps past those. The Alpha Outlaw is great and it's always nice to hear that they're having a deal on it. I'm looking forward to watching the show tonight and catching up on what has been going on. It should be a fun one!

[sefertonshaves]

Wonderful shave but at 9.50 an ounce TWD. There is no way for me, but like you said there are some who will feel that it is a superior product. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

Hello, how do you compare Blackbird and Outlaw? Which one do you like more?
Best regards.

[Blayzn]

Man. The scent sounds right up my alley, but can't do it at that price.

[williamcass]

Another awesome shave from the Alpha Outlaw in the books, Chris. Ethos is too pricy for me but I have no doubts about it being very high quality. As I’ve said before, anyone outside the hobby would say that most of what we consider to be normal stuff is an extravagance.

[dzangistamelonne]

All right, very very expensive. Enjoy the shave

[TimShaves]

Thanks for the video on this soap! I don't think I'll buy an Ethos at retail price but it's good to see an opinion and use on it.

[DeeDeeDanone]

That scent sounds very invigorating!

In fairness you said you bought the soap for it's scent and you know the scenting ingredients to be of very high quality. That'll be why the cost is so high. I'll bet profit margin wise Ethos won't make much more than other soapmaker's.

It's the same for all products, yeah you can buy a jar of freeze dried coffee for $5 and 100 cups from it or you could also pay $30 for a bag of single origin Ethiopian Yigracheffe beans. Both technically make a cup of coffee.

[judthestudo]

I’ll still keep my eye on them for a scent I like combined with a sale maybe lol. I also just used what I’d call my best personal discovery in scent in a few years, extro cosmesi liquoriza and magnolia and I’m so glad I used the aftershave today for a great Friday!

[bubbicus]

Holy hell, we get it, it's expensive! You absolutely kick the shit out of the cost dead horse in this video.

[_allcap]

Ethos is very expensive but I do like their scents. Probably the highest quality oils used in the scent. I missed out on Blood Orange but I own the Lemon, Grapefruit, and DFS Colonia. I don't think the base provides anything that Wholly Kaw or A&E don't but for me I would rather have less soaps but higher quality (scents). $9oz is very expensive for a soap though lol

[unclelshaves]

Like you said not a soap on my radar, plenty of excellent soaps with great scents at half the price, even essential oil scented ones. The Outlaw seems well like by those that have one.👍😎👌
