The soap gets under the hairs, slightly propping them up, giving the blade more surface area to \"bite\" onto.

Unlike using oil, a Preshave Soap will not gunk up your gear and rinses away easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was seriously turned off by all the clean up involved when using oils.

[\u003cem\u003eThat said\u003c\/em\u003e, if you currently use an oil, apply it with your non-shaver hand!] In short, Preshave Oils inspired me to find a better way!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a Preshave Soap is More Effective.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA preshave soap really offers more bang for your buck; for one, it's more affordable and longer lasting. Use it first to clean the face before you shave, then rinse. Then reapply the soap prior to whipping up lather: First in a circular motion, then against the grain. The soap gets under the hairs, slightly propping them up, giving the blade more surface area to \"bite\" onto. The glycerin acts as a humectant pulling more water into the hair, prepping and softening it, thus making it a bigger target to mow down!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 2 oz TUBE \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurified Water, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Stearate, Soybean Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Prickly Pear Oil, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCupuacu Butter, Murumuru Butter, Bacuri Butter\u003c\/span\u003e, Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Vitamin E, Zinc Sulfide, Fragrance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32410914848816,"sku":"","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/glo-tube-20-travel-preshave-soap-yes-it-glows-115886.jpg?v=1759255863"},{"product_id":"premium-beard-oil-or-preshave-oil-choose-from-many-of-our-classic-scents-2oz","title":"Premium Beard Oil (or Preshave Oil) | Choose from Many of our Classic Scents! | 2oz","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeard Tested, Beard Approved!

The doorway into winter, and the night before--October 31st--is when things got really interesting. The Celts believed that on Samhain Eve, the veil between our world and the Otherworld got thin. Real thin. Thin enough for things to come through--fairies, spirits, the dead. Not everyone was brave enough to step outside on a night like that.

It’s a summoning. You think you’ve forgotten that scent, but the moment it hits you-- top notes of Ginger, Cardamom, Pepper, with a whisper of Mandarin Orange--it’s like flipping a switch. Memories flood back. The ones that have been hiding in the remote corners of your mind, waiting for a scent like this to draw them out. The regenerating heart of the fragrance beats with Sandalwood, Cedar, and a touch of Carnation—that unexpected floral note you never saw coming, but somehow makes perfect sense. It’s like walking into a room and feeling a presence that shouldn’t be there. But still, you’re drawn in. And then there’s the base: Incense, Tobacco, Vanilla, with a lingering edge of Vetiver and Patchouli. These are the smells of forgotten places. Old leather-bound books gathering dust, a smoldering fire that’s almost gone out but still carries the faintest trace of warmth. It’s rich, it’s dark, but lite and it clings to you long after the bottle is closed. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Witching Hour \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eWhy Greenwitch?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThere’s a story there, one most people don’t know.

As a child, I was captivated by these books, pulled into a mysterious magical world that will forever haunt me…in a good way! So with this classic tale in mind I made this release a dual homage! Greenwitch Envy is now part of two stories. A feeling of old magic and a scent born of the earth, of roots that go deep into the ground, of autumn nights where the air turns cold and sharp, and you can almost hear the ancient and recent past whispering from beyond. It’s for those who understand that some things never really die—they just wait...in the shadows! \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Season Of The Greenwitch! \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eYou think you can handle her?

One of our more mysterious Doppelgängers, here for a short time, just for the season. But something tells me it’ll stay with you long after October’s come and gone.

The soap gets under the hairs, slightly propping them up, giving the blade more surface area to \"bite\" onto.

And, amusingly enough, many of our male testers who tried the sample without reading the label agreed completely.

Its balance of fruit, floral, and woods makes it transcend gender altogether. There’s even an incense-like depth that emerges in the dry down, reminding some of resin burning in a quiet room. (or a head shop!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p2\"\u003eThis is a scent that lingers in the mind long after it leaves the skin, one that evokes warmth, calm, and a certain lunar serenity.

She’s “Otra,” the long-lost twin sister of Al Fin! You remember Al Fin, all calm waters and radiant transcendence (really a lovely girl). Well, Otra (“Other,” for those who skipped Spanish class) was the sister who got the short end of the trident. Imprisoned in a windy, mystic river, she spent ages watching her sister shimmer in the spotlight. The jealousy bubbled. (long story)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eThe current twisted.

In short, she took her power back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eNow, if I’m being honest (and a touch self-deprecating), I may have had a hand in this transformation. I’m the guy who discontinued Otra back in the day, yeah, that was me. And, well, it looks like she took it personally. But hey, it’s spooky season, right? Perfect time for a resurrection with a little attitude!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eLa Sirena is that comeback story. She’s back from the depths, calling down the Sun, Moon, and Stars themselves, a scent both nostalgic and transcendent. Imagine the original 1994 fragrance reborn through a Phoenix Shaving prism: incense smoke curling through moonlight, scifi, some Mexican Lottery Cards, a shimmering balance of floral warmth and celestial calm. Who better to pair with ESP for the latest Creature Double Feature Release, no?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eSo yes, my friends, Otra swims again, but this time as the shapeshifter.

The name I had in mind was La Sirena! The artwork for the blade was what became the original Al Fin art! It was blue and holographic on an amber bottle...some of you may still have this in your collection! So the connection to Al Fin was always there, as was the color blue! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003e“Our goal was to bring back the real Sun, Moon \u0026amp; Stars, the one I remember, not the reformulated shadow that followed.

(even if I have to head into Hades myself to retrieve them!) - When Fran ever held this one under my schnoz I immediately knew we had to bring this stuff back!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy is this scent important?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBefore “fresh” meant “sporty,” before “warm” meant “sweet,” there was a scent that redefined balance. Pour Homme II was never about loud dominance, it was about quiet presence. A fresh cup of black tea steeped in bergamot light, infused with cinnamon and pimento, unfolding into the meditative calm of tobacco leaf, olive wood, and myrrh. Where its predecessor (Gucci Pour Homme, 2003) was smoke and swagger, this one was pure silk and stillness. There was a confident, intelligence to this stuff. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat you get is cozy sophistication, the rare fragrance that feels introspective, stoic and yet still magnetic. Again, absolutely perfect for this time of YEAR! The black tea accord is airy yet grounded, the cinnamon plays like an ember rather than a blaze, and the olive wood\/myrrh drydown evokes worn leather chairs and pages curled from time. If calm itself had a scent this just might be it! Seriously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContinuum 004 isn’t imitation; it’s continuation. It’s the same contemplative quiet, newly brewed with modern precision and care. For those who prefer a well-placed comma over an exclamation point.

And not the version sold today under the same name. I’m talking about Shulton’s Old Spice. Or as the shnerds call it, \"Shulton's\". That was my very first aftershave at age 15, and it left a permanent imprint on my soul. (possibly who\/what to blame for my interest in fragrances today!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eBack then, Old Spice wasn’t a novelty or a punchline in a flashy commercial. It was simply what men wore. You smelled it on fathers, grandfathers, teachers, barbers, scout leaders, coaches and even drum teachers. It lived in heavy glass bottles on porcelain sinks, and one splash carried real authority. It shaped how an entire generation understood grooming and growing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eShulton introduced Old Spice for men in 1938, and the timing could not have been more significant. As World War II unfolded, Old Spice became closely tied to American servicemen. It traveled overseas in duffel bags and footlockers, splashed on before leave, before dates, before dances, and before shipping out again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen the war ended, millions of men returned home carrying the scent with them. Old Spice didn’t just survive the war years, but in my humble opinion, it was forged in them. (and you get get that in the first whiff.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eThat post war era cemented Old Spice as an American institution. Through the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and well into the 70s, the formula remained remarkably consistent; Rich spice, floral backbone, warm ambered depth and, refined iconic epicness. It was bold without being harsh and comforting without being soft. Spend any time in the shave groups and you’ll see folks all saying the same thing. The vintage Shulton stuff simply had more presence. (Seriously, I don't think anyone has ever requested a dupe of modern Old Spice.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFun fact:\u003c\/b\u003e Old Spice actually began as a women’s fragrance! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1937, Shulton released Early American Old Spice as a perfume for women. The men’s aftershave followed a year later in 1938 and quickly eclipsed the original. That women’s launch is why the fragrance always carried a refined floral spine beneath the spice. Carnation was never an accident!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Year The Scent Faded Away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEverything came to a screeching halt in 1990 when Procter and Gamble acquired Old Spice from Shulton.

The first are the sort that politely introduce themselves, shake your hand, and then spend the rest of the evening trying very hard not to offend anyone within a ten foot radius. The second type does not bother with introductions at all, and instead quietly rearranges the atmosphere around you until you begin to suspect that you may not be entirely alone. Some of you know exactly what I mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eFiddler’s Friend is very much the second type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eIt begins, as all good misdirections do, with a touch of bergamot. Bright, agreeable, almost reassuring. The sort of opening that says, “Nothing to worry about here.” This is, of course, a lie. Because no sooner has that citrus flicker made its polite exit than the woods step in and take over the conversation entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eCedarwood arrives first, dry and confident, followed closely by oakmoss, which brings with it the unmistakable feeling that the ground beneath your feet has been there far longer than you have. Patchouli settles in like an old story that refuses to be forgotten, while spice moves through the composition in a way that suggests something is happening just out of sight, and possibly just out of reach. And then there is the musk. Not loud. Not unruly. Just…there. Observing. Waiting its turn. Twiddling its fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eAll of this would be more than enough for a perfectly respectable fragrance, but Fiddler’s Friend has never had much interest in being respectable. It prefers to ROCK!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eAround the fire pits of Camp Phoenix, there are stories. The sort that begin casually enough, usually with someone staring a bit too long into the flames, and then drift into territory that makes everyone else quietly check how far away the treeline actually is. There is talk of a melody that appears sometime after midnight. Some claim it is merely the wind slipping through the branches. Others insist it is the unmistakable sound of a bow drawn across strings that were never, under any reasonable circumstances, meant for human hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd at the center of these stories is the Green Man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eHe is said to play. Not often. Not for long. But when he does, things happen. Creatures stir. Shapes shift. Even the most stubborn skeptics begin to feel that perhaps remaining seated by the fire is an excellent idea after all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eOne camper, naturally, did not agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eA boy named Harper once decided that curiosity was a far more sensible guide than caution. He slipped out into the night, following the sound into the snow. His footprints were clear. Direct. Determined. They led into a frozen clearing where, quite abruptly, they stopped. No sign of a struggle. No sign of a return. Just a single sprig of holly pressed into the soft snow, as if placed there with great care by something that did not feel the need to explain itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eThis fragrance captures that exact moment. Not the fear, but the realization that you may have misunderstood the rules. #ItHappens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eNow, as for how this all came to exist in a bottle, the story is, if anything, even less predictable. For real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eThis fragrance is a real lost classic from about 2016. It was originally made for an old friend of mine who happens to be a genuinely excellent professional fiddle player. He had a fondness for my fragrances and, quite sensibly, decided that selling bottles of his own signature splash was far more interesting than the usual assortment of concert merchandise like t-shirts, CDs, or hats, all of which have the distinct disadvantage of not smelling like anything in particular. #TrySomethingDifferent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eI made one batch. It sold out. I made a second. At no point did I think, “Yes, this will one day become a sought after artifact in the world of wet shaving.” In fact, I gave it very little thought at all, which, as it turns out, was a mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eBecause thanks to the peculiar economics of the internet, one of these bottles eventually found its way onto eBay, where it proceeded to sell for roughly 150 smackers. This caused a great deal of confusion among Shave Cadets, who quite reasonably began asking questions such as, “What is this?” and “Why have we never heard of it?” and “Is this some sort of elaborate joke?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eFor the record, it was not a joke. I probably only ever made about 40 bottles!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eNaturally, once one person bought it, interest began to grow. Demand followed. The mystery deepened. And so, in a way that can only be described as inevitable in hindsight, Fiddler’s Friend quietly became the sort of thing people wanted precisely because they could not have it. Luckily, the scent is something special, VERY Special!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eFast forward nine years to the 2025 Advent Calendar, where Fiddler’s Friend made an unexpected reappearance. The reaction was immediate and, in some cases, impressively intense. Messages arrived. Requests multiplied. One individual was genuinely upset that we had, apparently, kept this scent from the shaving world for so long, which is both flattering and slightly alarming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eSo, here we are. Consider this full release a long overdue correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\"\u003eFiddler’s Friend is a whimsical, deeply atmospheric, unmistakably masculine blend that somehow slipped through the cracks of time and re-emerged as a full release 10 years later!

It doesn't arrive all at once. It returns in quiet moments while cleaning brushes, packing orders, hiking with Huxley and CUBE, or driving home at dusk. You tell yourself you're only thinking about it because you admire the craftsmanship, but eventually another question arrives, and this one is harder to dismiss. What exactly is it that keeps pulling me back? Not what does it smell like. That's easy enough to answer.

Others became irrationally aggressive. The colony ultimately collapsed, not because it lacked resources, but because something essential had quietly disappeared. Decades later, people are still debating what Universe 25 actually proved, but that isn't what captivated me. What stayed with me was a simpler idea. Environments matter.

Later I discovered that wasn't my imagination running wild. The fragrance was inspired by the legendary fortress of Les Baux-de-Provence, where the Knights of Les Baux adopted the cypress tree as their symbol of courage and endurance.

The USS Cyclops (AC-4) steams south into the Bermuda Triangle, its holds packed with ore, its decks crowded with men who expect a routine crossing. The weather holds, but something in the water does not. A shape moves just below the surface, pacing the ship for miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOne lookout later claims it rose close enough to see, a pale, female human form where no human could survive. Near midnight, another report spreads quietly across the deck. A black, cube shaped object suspended over the ocean, steady against the wind, giving off no light yet impossible to miss. Then the sky closes in. A brief, violent squall hits without warning. Minutes later, it is gone. So is the Cyclops. No signal was ever received. No trace was ever confirmed. Only an empty stretch of ocean where a ship once sailed, and the quiet feeling that whatever trailed it that night is still out there... waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFun Fact: Old, superstitious sailors warned never to look over the side at night.

The Douglas DC-3 NC16002 lifts off from San Juan carrying thirty-two souls toward Miami. It is an ordinary flight, the sort that had already been completed countless times before.

It was already loose in the world, born when the original Black CUBE fractured during a tremendous surge of energy at Stonehenge. [*See The Fresco Mystery] One remained unchanged. The other became something darker, something unpredictable, drifting silently through history and leaving unexplained encounters in its wake.

Haitian vetiver and smooth leather create a confident, earthy heart before settling into a rich base of amber, patchouli, musk, and warm woods.

She showed no obvious damage. Her sails remained set, her stores appeared undisturbed, and yet no answering voice came from her decks.
