Captain Fawcett Traditional Alum Bar – For Minor Shaving Nicks and Razor Burn A traditional alum stone for treating freshly shaved skin. The natural mineral has an astringent action, helps with minor superficial shaving nicks and leaves the skin feeling toned and refreshed. Moisten with cold water, glide gently over shaved areas and allow the stone to dry thoroughly after use. Presented in a cotton drawstring bag. Made in India. Captain Fawcett Traditional Alum Bar continues one of the oldest rituals of traditional wet shaving. Barbers have used alum for generations to treat freshly shaved skin and attend to the small superficial nicks that can occur during a close shave. Alum has an astringent action: when applied to damp skin, it temporarily contracts the surface tissue. This can help seal minor shaving nicks and improve the way the skin feels after shaving. For minor shaving nicks For a small superficial cut, moisten the Alum Bar with cold water and press it gently against the affected area for several seconds. The mineral helps control the slight bleeding associated with the small nicks commonly caused by wet shaving. A brief tingling or stinging sensation may occur. It often identifies areas where the shave was particularly close or the skin received greater stress. An alum stone is not suitable for large, deep or persistently bleeding wounds. As the conclusion to a wet shave The Alum Bar can also be passed carefully over larger freshly shaved areas. Its astringent effect leaves the skin feeling toned, clean and refreshed. After an especially close shave, it can help identify stressed areas and prepare the skin for subsequent care. An alum stone does not replace moisturising skincare. Follow with a soothing Captain Fawcett Post Shave Balm to provide moisture and conditioning lipids after the alum treatment. Benefits at a glance Traditional post-shave treatment Helps attend to minor superficial shaving nicks Provides an astringent action Leaves the skin feeling toned and refreshed Fragrance-free Highly economical and long-lasting Simple water-activated application Presented in a practical cotton drawstring bag Substantial 90 g mineral stone How to use on minor nicks Rinse the face with cold water after shaving. Moisten the Alum Bar briefly with cold water and press it gently against the minor nick for several seconds. Do not rub forcefully. Repeat if necessary. If a cut bleeds heavily or persistently, discontinue use and treat the wound appropriately. How to use as a post-shave ritual Pass the moistened stone lightly over the freshly shaved areas. Leave it on the skin for approximately 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse with cold water according to personal preference. Pat the skin dry and follow with a suitable Post Shave Balm. Avoid immediately applying a strongly alcoholic product if the skin is already displaying significant irritation. Caring for the Alum Bar Rinse the stone thoroughly with clean water after each use to remove skin particles and product residue. Shake off excess water and allow the Alum Bar to dry completely in the open air. Do not return the stone to its cotton bag while it is still damp, and do not leave it permanently on a wet surface. Moisture will gradually dissolve the mineral and may leave its surface uneven. Alum can also break if dropped onto hard bathroom tiles. The classic Captain Fawcett shaving ritual For a traditional wet shave, begin by preparing the whiskers with warm water and work a Captain Fawcett Shaving Cream into a rich lather with a shaving brush. Apply the Alum Bar with cold water after shaving. Finish with Captain Fawcett Post Shave Balm to calm and condition the skin. Those who favour the classic Expedition Reserve fragrance may then apply a restrained amount of Expedition Reserve Eau de Cologne to the neck or pulse points. Caution For external use only. Use solely on small, superficial shaving nicks. Do not apply to deep, extensive or inflamed wounds. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if strong or persistent irritation occurs. Do not share the Alum Bar with other people. Natural mineral stone made from ammonium alum. Presented in a cotton drawstring bag.

Captain Fawcett Synthetic Fibre Shaving Brush – Vegan Brush with Wooden Handle A vegan shaving brush featuring high-quality synthetic fibres and a handle made from sustainably sourced wood. The soft fibre tips feel comfortable even on sensitive skin, retain sufficient water and create a dense, creamy lather from shaving soap or cream. Its long handle with a dark redwood appearance sits securely in the hand and carries the classic Captain Fawcett emblem. Made in China. The Captain Fawcett Synthetic Fibre Shaving Brush combines the ritual of traditional wet shaving with the advantages of modern synthetic fibres. It is designed for those who wish to avoid badger hair and other animal bristles without sacrificing creamy shaving lather or the traditional experience of applying it with a brush. The synthetic fibres have pleasantly soft tips with enough resilience to work shaving soap or cream into a rich lather. The resulting foam distributes evenly over the face and prepares the beard for shaving. The extended wooden handle feels well balanced and provides excellent control, including when lathering in a deeper shaving bowl. Its dark reddish-brown finish gives the brush Captain Fawcett’s characteristic British appearance. Soft Synthetic Fibres Instead of Animal Hair The modern fibres are designed to replicate important properties of high-quality natural shaving brushes. Their fine tips feel comfortable on the skin, while the knot retains enough backbone to pick up soap and produce voluminous lather. As no animal bristles are used, the shaving brush is vegan-friendly. The smooth surface of the synthetic fibres also makes thorough rinsing after shaving particularly straightforward. The sensation on the skin remains individual. Although the tips are soft, the knot has noticeable resilience. This makes the brush suitable both for bowl lathering and circular movements directly on the face. Dense, Creamy Shaving Lather Good shaving lather should surround the beard hairs, support razor glide and remain stable throughout the shave. The Captain Fawcett Synthetic Shaving Brush works shaving creams and soaps into a dense, creamy lather with only a few controlled movements. The synthetic fibres retain sufficient water between them and release it gradually into the shaving cream or soap. This allows the consistency to be adjusted step by step. If the lather is too firm, add just a few drops of water. If it appears thin or contains large bubbles, pick up a little more cream or soap and continue lathering. Suitable for Sensitive Skin The soft fibre tips are a comfortable choice for sensitive skin and for anyone wishing to avoid the scratchy sensation associated with some natural-hair brushes. Excessive pressure is still unnecessary. Gentle circular movements are sufficient to distribute the lather and lift the beard hairs. Finish with painting strokes to create a smooth, even layer. Benefits of a Synthetic Shaving Brush Vegan-friendly – completely free from animal bristles Soft fibre tips for a comfortable skin feel Sufficient backbone for effective lathering Creates dense, voluminous shaving lather Suitable for shaving soaps and creams Easy to rinse thoroughly Dries more quickly than many natural-hair brushes Develops no characteristic animal-hair odour when wet Ideal for daily wet shaving Practical for travel Handle made from sustainably sourced wood Lathering in a Shaving Bowl Immerse the brush briefly in warm, not hot, water. Gently shake out the excess so that the fibres remain damp without dripping. Place a small amount of shaving cream in a bowl or load the damp brush with shaving soap. Whip with quick circular movements until a dense, fine-textured lather forms. Add water drop by drop when required. The finished lather should appear creamy and glossy, cling well to the fibres and contain no large air bubbles. Face Lathering First wet the face and beard thoroughly with warm water. Apply the shaving cream or loaded soap to the beard area with gentle circular movements. The brush lifts the beard hairs and works the lather between them. Finish with painting strokes to create an even, closed layer of foam. On sensitive skin, use circular movements only briefly and with light pressure. The lather can then be applied mainly with gentle brush strokes. The Matching Captain Fawcett Shaving Routine The Synthetic Shaving Brush is ideal for Captain Fawcett shaving creams. Depending on the preferred fragrance, it can be paired with a cream from the Expedition Reserve, Maharajah or Ricki Hall’s Booze & Baccy collection. For shaving creams presented in a metal tube, the Captain Fawcett Metal Tube Key helps dispense the cream precisely and use the tube almost completely. After shaving, rinse the skin with cool water and apply a suitable Captain Fawcett Post Shave Balm. Those who prefer a coordinated fragrance can select the shaving cream, balm and scent from the same Captain Fawcett collection. Cleaning and Care Rinse the shaving brush thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water after every use. Gently separate the fibres until no further lather residue is released. Carefully shake out excess water and use the fingers to return the fibres to their original shape. Do not strike the brush against the basin or strongly twist and wring the knot. Allow the brush to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. It may be suspended with the fibres facing downwards in a suitable stand or placed upright where air can circulate freely. The essential point is not to store it while damp in a closed cupboard or wash bag. Do not soak the wooden handle for extended periods. Dry the handle and collar after shaving to preserve the finish for as long as possible. Ideal for Travel Synthetic fibres generally dry faster than natural hair and are therefore particularly convenient for travel. The brush should still be allowed to dry completely before being placed inside a closed travel container. A ventilated protective case is recommended for transport. It helps prevent deformation of the knot while allowing any remaining moisture to escape. Dimensions Overall length: approximately 13 cm Handle length: approximately 5.5 cm Fibre length: approximately 4.5 cm Weight: approximately 55 g Caution Rinse thoroughly with warm water before first use. Use externally only with suitable shaving products. Do not soak or boil the wooden handle and do not clean the brush in a dishwasher. Vegan-friendly shaving brush with high-quality synthetic fibres.

This gives you an authentic shaving experience combined with easy maintenance and excellent hygiene. Precise Shaving and Clean Contours The high-quality blade mechanism holds the inserted razor blade securely and precisely in position. This allows the razor to be guided across the skin with excellent control and helps create clean, clearly defined lines.

Its carefully proportioned design supports controlled handling and precise movements during shaving. Easy to Use with Standard Razor Blades The HEY JOE! Premium Classic Razor uses half of a standard double-edge razor blade. A double-edge blade can be carefully snapped in half while it is still inside its wrapper and then inserted into the blade holder. The replaceable blades eliminate the need for time-consuming sharpening. A fresh blade can be used whenever required, making the razor practical at home and particularly hygienic for professional use. How to Use Prepare the face with warm water, then apply shaving soap, shaving cream or shaving oil. Hold the shavette against the skin at a shallow angle of approximately 30 degrees and shave using short, controlled strokes without applying excessive pressure. For a particularly close result, gently stretch the skin with your free hand. Beginners should start with easily accessible areas of the face and gradually become familiar with handling an open-blade razor. Cleaning and Care After each use, carefully remove the blade and thoroughly clean away hair and shaving-product residue. Dry the razor completely and store it in a dry place. Used razor blades must be disposed of in a suitable puncture-resistant container.
