Captain Fawcett is beyond delighted to announce an extraordinary Limited Edition Gift Set that’s quite simply out of this world.

The Captain has come ashore with a cargo of aromatic oils. Eager to share the delectable fragrances discovered in far flung lands, Fawcett’s Master Blender has created a delightfully refreshing hair tonic reminiscent of traditional barbershops the world over & also a contemporary texturising mist, for giving one’s hair a kick of sea air. Keep your eyes on the horizon my fine fellows, we roll with the rising tide.
2021 looms large and who knows what it will bring? How does one keep one’s spirits up in the eye of the storm? Trust yours truly gentlemen, a little self-care goes a long way. Take time for a treat. An early morning run, a steaming hot bath, a cup of strong Darjeeling, a generously buttered crumpet, nice clean socks, an afternoon snooze, a walk in the rain, a game of Scrabble, a chat with a chum.
"I thought I told you be be prepared". For those with the correct kit, this season of frost and, perchance, snow, is most bracing and jolly good for the soul! Whether one is manning the Mount Vostock weather station, tramping across the ruddy West Norfolk fens or, indeed, dashing into the briny for a wild cold water swim ....these winter essentials will restore spirits and warmth in no time!
By Jove it’s been a somewhat bothersome year. There is light on the horizon folks and I’d wager all are now due a spot of indulgence, a touch of luxury. Indeed, I’d venture even the most formal gentleman yearns for a little sparkle. Whether you are in search of the perfect gift or more than ready to treat yourself, I present a list of gentlemanly treasures all to be found at Captain Fawcett’s Emporium.
Some traditions are worth holding on to, no matter how old we are fortunate enough to become! Whatever you call the old boy, Santa Claus, Father Xmas, Saint Nick...do leave a little something out for him. He’s still partial to a mince pie and although Mother insists he prefers sherry, I can vouch for the man being perfectly content with an aged Cognac. Whatever, make his welcome a warm one.

It's June 4th, the Founding Day of Captain Fawcett Ltd in this, his magnificent 10th Anniversary year.

Captain Fawcett’s latest collaboration, ‘The Chap: Debonair Moustache Wax’ is perfect for the contemplative connoisseur. Redolent of a briar pipe’s sweet smoke as savoured by a fellow from the comfort of his fireside armchair or upon a porch on a long summer’s evening. Inspired by the quarterly journal’s silhouetted pipe smoking dandy, it is the fragrance of slow pleasures.
The days are hastening on and I do hope you are in the midst of merriment or, should that not be your cup of egg nog, preparing to take a some time away from daily demands. Do remember that whether you are in search of gifts for dear ones or ready for some well-earned personal indulgence, the last UK posting date from Captain Fawcett’s Emporium is 20th December 3pm.
