Valence, France and day five of Captain Fawcetts intrepid adventures following the Blue Smoke Racing Team in the 19th Historic Monte Carlo Rally. How terribly exciting it has been so far! My vehicle of choice is a 1963 Saab V4 two stroke as driven by Erik Carlsson, who won the Monte Carlo Rally for two years in a row in the 1960s. After a technical hiccup in Oslo and a major repair in Halden...

Many congratulations to Mr Alfred Nash from Los Angeles, California, who won the 'English Moustache' category at the National Beard and Moustache Championships 2015 in Brooklyn, New York, sponsored by The Captain. Bravo Sir! If you would like to take a peek at some of the hirsutely-gifted competitors, you may enjoy this album by Jeffrey Moustache Photography.

Private Lily and I had the great pleasure of attending the World Beard & Moustache Championships from 2nd to 4th October in beautiful Leogang, Austria. Much fun was had, and I would like to thank our genial hosts for a splendidly warm welcome. The inimitable Mr Iain Crockart took some super photographs of the hirsute contestants, all of which can be viewed on my Facebook page.

Captain Fawcett is delighted to have collaborated with the World renowned Dandy and Gentleman about town, Mr Ricki Hall in concocting simply delectable bespoke Beard Oil and Moustache Wax, also available as a Gift Set. A rich and complex blend of essential oils which combine the luxurious base notes of honeyed fresh tobacco leaves and much more do read on dear chums...

#Project60 is a monumental portrait series featuring some of the world’s most famous bearded gentlemen, and now also a delightful lady by the name of Harnaam Kaur. It has been masterminded by Mr Elbank, an esteemed English photographer who has recently returned from Australia after nine years of award winning work to create this timeless artifact with an important, life-saving message.

A delightful film informing my dear chums about the wonders of using Captain Fawcett's (CF.332) Private Stock Beard Oil. A delectable blend of fragrant essential oils fused with Sweet Almond, Jojoba and Vitamin E base oils, if used daily this elegantly scented balance of Cedarwood, Black Pepper, Patchouli and Palmarosa essential oils will soothe, moisturise and invigorate both skin and facial hair.

I say chums.... I am simply chuffed to bits to read that the esteemed Joe and Co. barbers to the notable have seen fit to lavish such praise on my very own 'Private Stock' Beard Oil, a delectable blend of fragrant essential oils fused with Sweet Almond, Jojoba & Vitamin E base oils. Quite superb. Thank you. It has added a whistle to my lips and a hint of Spring to my step. Whatever next? Carry On. Fawcett.

The Captain and a few of his very dear chums were delighted to be invited to a simply splendid soirée hosted by the reputed Pall Mall Barbers, held at the Boisdale eaterie in Belgravia this Tuesday last. Great fun was had by all, as the canapés and Prosecco flowed thick and fast. You can find some splendid images from the evening on my Facebook page. Carry On Chaps. Fawcett.

Team Fawcett Movember Promo - Ylang Ylang from James Lightbown on Vimeo. I say chums its all a little bit on the hush hush don’t you know, but a couple of old school blighters have clubbed together to form ‘Team Fawcett’ for Movember 2013. It’s a noble bid to raise some much needed coin for research into men’s cancer.. Have a dekko at the film and jolly well join in.

I make no apologies for the rambling and on occasion perchance deranged meanderings that have been collected here for your esteemed perusal and delectation. They catalogue the Captain’s latter year tall tales of misadventure & ‘derring do’. I should indicate that peoples names have in the most part been changed to protect the guilty, however having said that some characters will remain instantly recognisable..
