A SHAVE CADET FAVORITE!
I know this release is going to make MANY a shave cadet happy...and that feels good. I also know, more than a few of you riddle seekers will be wondering about the name change too.
Whistling Drift-Seed is an homage to Mr. Mark Twain, who really needs no introduction, Panspermia, Halley's Comet & a new, VERY REAL character on Earth's horizon...31/ATLAS![3i/ATLAS is the third confirmed interstellar object (a visitor from another star system) discovered passing through our Solar System currently!]
Being that Twain considered himself to be personally connected to a comet and the recent demand for this scent to return, it just seemed right!
Last Years Advent SUPER STAR!
Originally crafted in 2016 as "Dixie" for the Dirty South Shaver's Meet-Up in Huntsville, Alabama, this scent has a backstory as rich and bold as the South itself. It was also voted one of the most MUST-HAVE ReReleases from the 2024 Advent Calendar...so here we are folks, as promised!
Why is Preshave Soap BETTER Than Preshave Oil?
Well first off, as with anything in life, it all comes down to personal preference. I can tell you why I think it's better, but in the end, do what works for you! First off, unlike using oil, a Preshave Soap will not gunk up your gear and rinses away easy.
I was seriously turned off by all the clean up involved when using oils. Plus I was always concerned about it getting into my favorite brushes undetected and going rancid. Also, applying oil with your hands then holding onto a blade is not the safest move in my book. [That said, if you currently use an oil, apply it with your non-shaver hand!] In short, Preshave Oils inspired me to find a better way!
Why a Preshave Soap is More Effective.
A preshave soap really offers more bang for your buck; for one, it's more affordable and longer lasting. 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!
CUBE?
The release of CUBE has been a long time coming. For those who are privy to the PAA Universe, you may have seen CUBE hovering in the background on different labels and in ads...observing. I have read a few interpretations by folks in the forums who have noticed CUBE's appearances and have been flummoxed. What Does it Mean? [I super appreciate that folks are becoming more hip to the universe in our labels!]
What Strange Shave Tech is This?
It's great to finally bring CUBE to life for people to interface with! Holding it in your hand you can almost feel a force, an energy pulsating, drawing you in. However, all I can say at this time is, all shall be revealed in a future installment of the saga. Until then, embrace the mystery of CUBE and use it wisely!
