In these crazy times, we thought it was time we gave the Shave Cadets something they've been begging for for years...just a little more extreme! Spice Bot, if you have not guessed already, is an homage to SpiceBomb Extreme, built around an already bold, warm spice profile with more added depth and fragrance force.
It begins with the bright notes of grapefruit and cracked black pepper, with pimento berries adding a sharp, spicy edge. The heart is aromatic and warming, blending lavender with cumin, saffron, and layered spices for a real masculine feel.
The base of this accord is deep and smooth, anchored by tobacco and labdanum, with woody amber and a lite touch of vanilla to round things out. The result is something pretty epic; warm, grounded, and long-lasting without tipping into sweetness or excess.
Spice Bot is sooooo bloody wearable, familiar in spirit, and updated in execution. A solid choice for cooler weather, evenings, and anyone who prefers depth, warmth, and presence in a fragrance. In short, this really is one for the collection...you are going to LOVE IT!
Note On The Art: Don't confuse the image for a planet destroying robot, Spice Bot is actually trying to put the fires out! We hope this "comfort food fragrance" helps with a personal reset that we all seem to so desperately need right now! Resist the madness and peace to all, shave cadets!
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!
