Barrel-aging. The scent wasn’t just mixed and bottled. No, I wanted more.

So, past me set this plan in motion, and present me? Well, present me is pretty damned pleased with how it turned out. Blue Samhain is richer, deeper, with that cask-aged magic you can’t fake. And “ghost notes”? Yeah, that’s what this scent needed all along. What’s more fitting for Samhain than the faint echoes of something…else?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, for you history buffs, the name\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSamhain--\u003c\/strong\u003eit’s an old one.

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. You never knew who--or\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ewhat--\u003c\/em\u003eyou might meet out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that label? Well, it’s got a story of its own.

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\" on to. 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 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/CUBE_Preshave_Soap_Activated_Charcoal_Phoenix_Shaving_large.jpg?v=1506271554\" alt=\"Cube Preshave Soap\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" width=\"419\" height=\"320\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUBE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe release of \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e has been a long time coming.
