SUMMER OF THE BEARD enters its final golden hours on World Beard Day. What a season of celebrating the magnificence of your magnificent manly manes!

As August wanes and September’s cooler breath wafts gently in like fine wine and the glorious Summer of the Beard draws to a close, your vintage Beard needs a smooth transition from heatwave to harvest season. It’s the perfect time to sharpen your style, maintain protection, and prepare for the changing weather.

Ah, sweet August! The very height of summer when the sun beats down and the mercury climbs. Unless, that is, it’s a British Bank Holiday weekend, in which case, pack a brolly. For the hirsute gentleman embracing Summer of the Beard, all kinds of damp weather presents a conundrum: sweat, humidity, summer rain, and all that easy living, can turn your once-magnificent mane into a tangle of unruly mayhem.

Gentlemen, let us put this ridiculous notion to rest once and for all! A Beard is not your enemy in the heat. Indeed, it is quite the opposite. In fact, your bountiful facial foliage is the unsung hero of summer grooming, providing shade, protection and undeniably debonair style. Welcome to the Summer of the Beard….

Naturally, the Captain is rather partial to spreading lashings of salted butter on his afternoon crumpets, but rubbing Butter into one’s beard? By Jove! Are you quite sure sir? Do tell us more…  Beard Butter and Beard Balm both help to maintain a healthy, well-groomed beard, but these stalwarts of the gentleman’s grooming arsenal each serve slightly different purposes.

The Captain proudly introduces his latest range - the magnificent ‘Bianco Classico’. Tailored for all hair types, ‘Bianco Classico’ is simply sensational for white, grey and platinum Silver Foxes. Huzzah!  ‘Bianco Classico’ includes a Beard Butter, Moustache Wax and Purple Shampoo, all designed to highlight the natural brilliance of your handsome silvery strands.
