He felt lighter, vulnerable, he touched his forehead and patted the rest of his body, he was out of his Spatium Suit, the oxygen tasted stale, metallic and cold. He was painted in a blinding white light and surrounded by others, silhouettes. The sudden rush of air to his brain made him dizzy and he began to fall forward uncontrollably, reaching out to the closest body hoping someone might catch him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe touched the shape in front of him as he went down in slow motion, his thoughts jumped in another bright flash and he was still falling but from an upright position again and gasping for breath once more as if the wind had been knocked out of him, as if the whole scene had been rewound. He reached out again touching an elbow or a shoulder in an effort to stop or slow his fall - ZAP! Again the flash and the sudden rush of cold, stale ozone into his lungs and this repeated over and over till in one variation he found himself turning mid-fall in a race to the floor and that's when he saw the faces. Tt was the doppelgängers, the grey and lifeless sea of empty shells of himself, falling like dominos. His consciousness was being transferred from one to the next like an organic series of pulses jumping across a light system: Flash, Breathe, Flash, Breathe, Flash, Breathe, an asthmatic strobe...it was impossible to ever catch his breath and darkness was closing in untill he finally fell for the last time. He had made it to the base of the light source and the front of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor was cold and clean, sterile as was his new body, he slowly raised his head still panting and teary eyed. Before him stood a man geared up in a full Spatium Suit, teetering, light exploded from the crown of his helmet washing the room in an eery moon like light with his back turned towards Atom. With a rush of adrenaline, Atom jumped to his feet and grabbed the man by the shoulder - FLASH!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtom blinked and looked around, he was again suited up and once more kicking up dust on the surface of Gaia Secundus. The alarm in his helmet told him he needed to focus on regulating his breathing and calming down. He slowly sat down on a nearby rock, he was still suffering from mild vertigo and to stop moving felt good, he needed to process all of this and run a full system scan of his suit. He had learned at the academy one can experience hallucinations if the oxygen being used is less than pure or has been contaminated during the recycling process. He needed to get back to base and examine his Rebreathe Unit. He stood up fast and caught himself again, he was still slightly dizzy. Steadying himself he looked up slowly and in the distance he saw someone else approaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solar winds died down...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"No Discount","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12394605117488,"sku":"","price":44.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/doppelganger-black-label-artisan-shave-soap-aftershave-cologne-ck-6-formula-347933.jpg?v=1726347147"},{"product_id":"phoenix-artisan-accoutrements-controversy-artisan-shave-soap-patchouli-sandalwood-leather-damar-resin-rose-tobacco-absolute","title":"Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Controversy Artisan Shave Soap | Formula CK-6","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eControversy\u003c\/i\u003e, rich in depth - Potent, Masculine \u0026amp; Mysterious.

He felt lighter, vulnerable, he touched his forehead and patted the rest of his body, he was out of his Spatium Suit, the oxygen tasted stale, metallic and cold. He was painted in a blinding white light and surrounded by others, silhouettes. The sudden rush of air to his brain made him dizzy and he began to fall forward uncontrollably, reaching out to the closest body hoping someone might catch him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe touched the shape in front of him as he went down in slow motion, his thoughts jumped in another bright flash and he was still falling but from an upright position again and gasping for breath once more as if the wind had been knocked out of him, as if the whole scene had been rewound. He reached out again touching an elbow or a shoulder in an effort to stop or slow his fall - ZAP! Again the flash and the sudden rush of cold, stale ozone into his lungs and this repeated over and over till in one variation he found himself turning mid-fall in a race to the floor and that's when he saw the faces. Tt was the doppelgängers, the grey and lifeless sea of empty shells of himself, falling like dominos. His consciousness was being transferred from one to the next like an organic series of pulses jumping across a light system: Flash, Breathe, Flash, Breathe, Flash, Breathe, an asthmatic strobe...it was impossible to ever catch his breath and darkness was closing in untill he finally fell for the last time. He had made it to the base of the light source and the front of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor was cold and clean, sterile as was his new body, he slowly raised his head still panting and teary eyed. Before him stood a man geared up in a full Spatium Suit, teetering, light exploded from the crown of his helmet washing the room in an eery moon like light with his back turned towards Atom. With a rush of adrenaline, Atom jumped to his feet and grabbed the man by the shoulder - FLASH!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtom blinked and looked around, he was again suited up and once more kicking up dust on the surface of Gaia Secundus. The alarm in his helmet told him he needed to focus on regulating his breathing and calming down. He slowly sat down on a nearby rock, he was still suffering from mild vertigo and to stop moving felt good, he needed to process all of this and run a full system scan of his suit. He had learned at the academy one can experience hallucinations if the oxygen being used is less than pure or has been contaminated during the recycling process. He needed to get back to base and examine his Rebreathe Unit. He stood up fast and caught himself again, he was still slightly dizzy. Steadying himself he looked up slowly and in the distance he saw someone else approaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solar winds died down...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Shaving","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13594802028592,"sku":"","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/doppelganger-black-label-artisan-shave-soap-ck-6-formula-835410.jpg?v=1726347119"},{"product_id":"atomic-age-bay-rum-artisan-shave-soap-ultra-premium-formula-ck-6-5oz","title":"Atomic Age Bay Rum Artisan Shave Soap | Ultra Premium Formula CK-6 | Made w\/ 100% Essential Oils","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAtomic Age Bay Rum - It's About Evolution\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJust a few things that make \u003cem\u003eAtomic \u003c\/em\u003ea very different Kind of Bay Rum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Years in development \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharred Oak Barrel Aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade w\/ 100% Essential Oils\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/phoenix-shaving.trk.klaviyomail.com\/wf\/click?upn=93ABcmp7K06SInJNkrTdwmyizmVX88I5rK6yCF2XXofbEOXgoxtUQL0Vi1XU6atqrA2ZKThBk69Dy8IluPjgJOAyJq0PU5UYt3Ozyb5zIdQBff44mOzmmf-2FIowS5nOmq-2BC4PpK5Xh5EAcJWTICkTYg-3D-3D_Kanvpc5YzaNjc5ILaBOM2dEVcSI9vP-2B9qr8BAQQpNwiIXdi97VtLBPE3CHaSZxt88mJ7QuNH23eHR1zM-2Fej9GSziHkuelsKjWYNelebBUg-2F2Uv59S5d6q0FwgXc0zrLsas-2BIRN5hjoL5pB8y-2Fy7ZfucUXdW2fovf-2F8msdDmb1kqw96j7KK4NFZ5EvD3qyt0MtEiacxLBjZJ4hwxyNCQnyCvlsfxbLgCLz2JklGdRoKoimNdpUz7Z6nY4zkTAm03kFbt9Wa50S9UV8WBcywgzZzFFyV1G30phB7THpqUzhG5D7tQEaMwoBf7XLtsaBgcdkolWzeAJXdyBm3Nl4qVGp1euIiyxFtKKzLZpZJB-2Bd18-3D\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMade with West Indian Bay Hydrosol\u003c\/a\u003e, Seaweed Extract, Liquid Silk (non-animal source), \u0026amp; Aloe Vera \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"When you tell everybody that you don't like bay rum and Douglas Smythe makes a liar out of you...this stuff is killer!\"\u003c\/em\u003e ~ Kenny Comeaux\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none; background: #f59542; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; font-family: arial-black; cursor: pointer; color: #07548f; padding: 12px 30px; border-radius: 3px;\" href=\"https:\/\/phoenixartisanaccoutrements.com\/collections\/atomic-age-bay-rum\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFind The Atomic Age Bay Rum Collection HERE!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtomic Age Bay Rum has been over 5 years in the making, possibly 15-20 if you take into consideration my years prior being a Bay Rum wearer and connoisseur!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\"But why another bay rum Doug?\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou pose a good question.

There's a reason why the best rum is fermented in Oak Casks rather than not so great rums fermented in Stainless Steel or other vessels...barrels are not cheap, but on an alchemical level, worth their weight in gold!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou see, The tannic influences of the charred oak wood adds subtle notes of vanilla, coconut, peach and even clove...without the clove! Making this switch added a whole new level of depth and presence, if you will. There really is an amazing difference when compared next to a bay rum matured in simply glass...two very dramatically different animals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Dilute The Magic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext is my addition of West Indian Bay Hydrosol or Flower Water. Hydrosol is a byproduct of the distillation process of procuring Bay Essential oil (Pimenta Racemosa). This is all done by small batch in my lab by me to ensure purity and quality. I chose to use the hydrosol rather than just plain distilled water as is done with all other bay rum aftershaves and colognes. It's tough to just rush through this process in words so I created a short behind the scenes video especially for you, my dear reader. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VuH2YxqJLrk\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is the skin food!

He saw exposed ducts and pipework, the room was large and went on forever, as did the \u003ci\u003ereplicants\u003c\/i\u003e, hundreds of them.

He felt lighter, and vulnerable. He touched his forehead with the back of his bare hand and patted the rest of his body; he was out of his Spatium Suit, and the oxygen tasted stale, metallic and cold. He was painted in a blinding white light and surrounded by other human forms, silhouettes. The sudden rush of air to his brain made him light-headed and he began to fall forward uncontrollably, reaching out to the closest body hoping someone might catch him before he crashed to the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe grazed the shape in front of him as he went down in what felt like slow motion. His consciousness blinked into another bright flash of new awareness from a different vantage point now. He was still falling but from an upright position again as if the whole scene had been rewound and allowed to cruely play out once more. He reached out again touching an elbow or a shoulder in an effort to stop or slow his fall - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eZAP!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e A sudden flash and the process repeated itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis strange sensation happened over and over until in one last variation of himself he was finally whirling towards to the floor. In shock and almost relief he gathered his wits and slowly raised his head from where he now sat on the cold stone floor. There before him stood a vast sea of himself; doppelgängers, a grey and lifeless mass of empty shells, a few in a long line laid out like dominos or a path back from where this action began. His consciousness had been transferred from one to the next like an organic series of pulses jumping across a wireless system of lights. A flash, a gasp, a flash, a gasp, an asthmatic strobing dance of madness. It had been near impossible to ever catch his breath and darkness was closing in until he finally fell for the last time. He had made it to the base of the light source and the front of the line. He breathed with a new hunger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe floor was cold and clean, sterile as was his new body; he slowly raised his head still panting and teary eyed. Before him stood a man geared up in a full Spatium Suit, teetering, light exploded from the crown of his helmet washing the room in a heavy sickly green-yellow glow and haze. His back was turned towards Atom. With a rush of adrenaline, Atom jumped to his feet and grabbed the man by the shoulder - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFLASH!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAtom blinked and looked around, he was again suited up and once more kicking up dust on the surface of Gaia Secundus. The alarm in his helmet told him he needed to focus on regulating his breathing and calming down. He sat down on a nearby rock, suffering from a mild case of vertigo. To finally stop moving felt good, he needed to process all of this and run a full system scan of his suit. He had learned at the academy one can experience hallucinations if the oxygen being used is less than pure or has been contaminated during the recycling process. He needed to get back to base where he could examine his Neo-Rebreathe Unit. He stood up fast and caught himself again, he was still slightly dizzy.

He scanned from left to right with his Data Face, his helmets night vision automatically kicked on and painted his surroundings in an eery blue\/green glow and for the second time in the last hour, Atom's heart skipped a beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt took him a hot minute to fully understand what he was seeing. All around him stood men still as soldiers who fell asleep where they stood, but eyes open and staring straight ahead wearing no emotion on their faces and breathing not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt took him another minute to realize they were him, all of them, dressed in the same, heavy radiation repellent undergarments he was wearing right now under his Spatium Suit. He turned off the night vision and activated the external lights of his helmet bathing the room in a moon like light. He observed ducts and exposed pipework, the room was large and went on forever, as did the replicants, hundreds of them. He was in what appeared to be the Grand Astral Subterranean Port Hangar located hundreds of miles away and 3 miles below the barren dry soil of Gaia Secundus...was he going mad?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low volume alarm went off within Atom's helmet and he jumped again, reflexively he tapped it off. The alarm indicated there was substantial oxygen levels in the great room and he could remove his helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtom thought about this. Maybe he was asleep and this was just a dream or maybe he was unconscious still on the surface of this unforgiving planet, removing his helmet meant uncertain death. Then he stopped breathing again as he felt a hand firmly gripping his shoulder...the terror from only moments before returned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/doppel_clones_large.jpg?v=1538244132\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtom came to in a bright flash of light, inhaling deep and loud, squinting, gasping, panicking. He felt lighter, vulnerable, he touched his forehead and patted the rest of his body, he was out of his Spatium Suit, the oxygen tasted stale, metallic and cold. He was painted in a blinding white light and surrounded by others, silhouettes. The sudden rush of air to his brain made him dizzy and he began to fall forward uncontrollably, reaching out to the closest body hoping someone might catch him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe touched the shape in front of him as he went down in slow motion, his thoughts jumped in another bright flash and he was still falling but from an upright position again and gasping for breath once more as if the wind had been knocked out of him, as if the whole scene had been rewound. He reached out again touching an elbow or a shoulder in an effort to stop or slow his fall - ZAP! Again the flash and the sudden rush of cold, stale ozone into his lungs and this repeated over and over till in one variation he found himself turning mid-fall in a race to the floor and that's when he saw the faces. Tt was the doppelgängers, the grey and lifeless sea of empty shells of himself, falling like dominos. His consciousness was being transferred from one to the next like an organic series of pulses jumping across a light system: Flash, Breathe, Flash, Breathe, Flash, Breathe, an asthmatic strobe...it was impossible to ever catch his breath and darkness was closing in untill he finally fell for the last time. He had made it to the base of the light source and the front of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor was cold and clean, sterile as was his new body, he slowly raised his head still panting and teary eyed. Before him stood a man geared up in a full Spatium Suit, teetering, light exploded from the crown of his helmet washing the room in an eery moon like light with his back turned towards Atom. With a rush of adrenaline, Atom jumped to his feet and grabbed the man by the shoulder - FLASH!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtom blinked and looked around, he was again suited up and once more kicking up dust on the surface of Gaia Secundus. The alarm in his helmet told him he needed to focus on regulating his breathing and calming down. He slowly sat down on a nearby rock, he was still suffering from mild vertigo and to stop moving felt good, he needed to process all of this and run a full system scan of his suit. He had learned at the academy one can experience hallucinations if the oxygen being used is less than pure or has been contaminated during the recycling process. He needed to get back to base and examine his Rebreathe Unit. He stood up fast and caught himself again, he was still slightly dizzy. Steadying himself he looked up slowly and in the distance he saw someone else approaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solar winds died down...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Shaving","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21943947984944,"sku":"","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/doppelganger-grey-label-artisan-shave-soap-fomula-ck-6-348801.jpg?v=1726347155"},{"product_id":"old-salty-artisan-shave-soap-ultra-premium-ck-6-formula-5-oz","title":"Old Salty Artisan Shave Soap | Ultra Premium CK-6 Formula | 4 oz","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArggggghhhh, it be Old Salty!

They observed the strange rituals, men in uniform marching with boom sticks, saluting each other, the construction of air traffic towers, the strange signal dance done with flags and flares towards the heavens...all this and more, which when done correctly would clearly lead to the gods raining cargo down from the heavens!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is highly probable that during these early recon missions, one of the pilots introduced himself to the natives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Hey fellas, I'm John, John \u003cem\u003efrom\u003c\/em\u003e...New York, New Jersey, wherever...\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut all they heard in their shock and amazement was \"I am John Frum.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearly, this strangely dressed man was a god. He may have even promised them that the USA was here now, and we were going to take care of them with lots of cargo. For a time, the natives did indeed receive many gifts from the soldiers, which reinforced their belief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the war ended the soldiers left the island, and this is when the cargo cult of John Frum was really born. The natives soon began building fake runways, air traffic towers and even fake straw aircraft. They carved wooden rifles and marched in formation. They lit signal fires and raised the American Flags on poles. \u003cem\u003eAll for precious cargo\u003c\/em\u003e. After all, if these rituals they observed worked for the soldiers, surely it would work for them. One day soon John Frum would return to them with cargo in hand!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow mind you, this is not an isolated event. Cargo Cults like this have popped up all over the world, and oddly enough share the same belief system. A few even still exist! This includes the John Frum and Tom Navy cults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is just another part of our curious war time history that I think a lot of folks missed out on. I find just as interesting as other, more famous events and phenomenon, if not more so! So, with all this in mind I made it my personal mission to put together a very special, classic scent that would somehow capture all this wackiness and wonder of a cargo cult. I got so into this project I nearly drugged myself into a coma...\u003cem\u003efor real. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWell, maybe not a coma, but it wasn't looking good...I better explain.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKava Coma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the South Pacific Island culture, a popular, and potent plant is consumed, Kava Kava. It's primarily a sedative, but when prepared ritually it is taken communally and passed around in a circle of men. When done right, the effects are numbing and euphoric at the same time. Those of you who follow what I do know that I will often base a scent on the flora of a location, in an attempt to try to bring that area of tribute to life. In the case of John Frum, I was curious about the scent of Kava Kava and hoped that through distillation I could get some essential oil from the roots, or at the very least a hydrosol, to add to the aftershave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter several attempts at distillation I failed to procure any essential oil, but the Kava Kava hydrosol did floweth, and man, if this is stuff is not related to vetiver at some level, I'd be shocked! Turns out Kava Kava has a very strong, green, and dirty scent! Seriously, this is some really nice stuff, and as I mentioned, very comparable to the scent of vetiver. [\u003cem\u003eVetiver fans will love the subtle undertones of Kava Kava that can be found in the accord.] \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActually, this wasn't my first time dabbling with Kava Kava. Back in the day I use to take capsules of it after a heavy work out and before bed or make a Kava Kava tea. You may remember seeing it yourself in health food stores. It really was excellent stuff if you needed to mellow out and insomnia was not an option. Granted, neither the capsules, or tea bags were as potent as when made in the Island tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was also given a Kava Kava *ceremonial bowl by an ex-girlfriend about 15 years ago after she returned from Fiji, where she observed the consumption of this magical stuff in real time. Again, I had only taken capsules and tea back in the day and never really experienced the Real Deal Kava Kava. Now after all this John Frum research you could say I was more than curious- I was \u003cem\u003eReady Ready. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e*You'll see the bowl in a few John Frum Photos!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, I dug around online and found a couple variations on the traditional recipe. Now with fresh Kava Kava Root in hand and my ceremonial bowl and masher I was ready. After about 45 minutes of preparation the milky white, vetiver smelling juice was all set to consume. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI sat in a comfortable chair in the living room and drank all of it. After only what seemed a few minutes I melted into the armchair, both my mouth and tongue went completely numb; tingly. I felt like I was smiling but I doubt those tiny muscles were really working. I just laughed, everything was great, I wanted to dance, sing, possibly write a poem but could not move! It's said, it is impossible to hate or get angry when drinking Kava Kava, and man are they right. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my mind’s eye I started to put together the different notes I then somehow knew would work well in the scent blend, with much effort I managed to jot down the scent blend almost as if the Kava Kava root was dictating it to me. In recollection, it sounds kind of far out or silly, but at the time this was a very serious matter...well, kinda serious, there was that perma-smile on my face, real or imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI eventually fell asleep only to be shaken awake by Fran many hours later! It turns out the recipe I made was for 5-8 grown men, for a real kava kava ceremony! The reason why I am sharing this story with you is just to give you a little peek into what goes into my scent exploration and some of the really dumb stuff I do in an effort to deliver something really unique or authentic, something much more than a simple aftershave or soap, but a full-fledged experience...\u003cem\u003eeven if it kills me in the process. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, after all that, I believe John Frum to be one of the finest, most unique modern musk scents out there.

This includes the John Frum and Tom Navy cults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is just another part of our curious war time history that I think a lot of folks missed out on. I find just as interesting as other, more famous events and phenomenon, if not more so! So, with all this in mind I made it my personal mission to put together a very special, classic scent that would somehow capture all this wackiness and wonder of a cargo cult. I got so into this project I nearly drugged myself into a coma...\u003cem\u003efor real. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, maybe not a coma, but it wasn't looking good...\u003cem\u003eI better explain.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKava Coma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the South Pacific Island culture, a popular, and potent plant is consumed, Kava Kava. It's primarily a sedative, but when prepared ritually it is taken communally and passed around in a circle of men. When done right, the effects are numbing and euphoric at the same time. Those of you who follow what I do know that I will often base a scent on the flora of a location, in an attempt to try to bring that area of tribute to life. In the case of John Frum, I was curious about the scent of Kava Kava and hoped that through distillation I could get some essential oil from the roots, or at the very least a hydrosol, to add to the aftershave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter several attempts at distillation I failed to procure any essential oil, but the Kava Kava hydrosol did floweth, and man, if this is stuff is not related to vetiver at some level, I'd be shocked! Turns out Kava Kava has a very strong, green, and dirty scent! Seriously, this is some really nice stuff, and as I mentioned, very comparable to the scent of vetiver. [\u003cem\u003eVetiver fans will love the subtle undertones of Kava Kava that can be found in the accord.] \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActually, this wasn't my first time dabbling with Kava Kava. Back in the day I use to take capsules of it after a heavy work out and before bed or make a Kava Kava tea. You may remember seeing it yourself in health food stores. It really was excellent stuff if you needed to mellow out and insomnia was not an option. Granted, neither the capsules, or tea bags were as potent as when made in the Island tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was also given a Kava Kava *ceremonial bowl by an ex-girlfriend about 15 years ago after she returned from Fiji, where she observed the consumption of this magical stuff in real time. Again, I had only taken capsules and tea back in the day and never really experienced the Real Deal Kava Kava. Now after all this John Frum research you could say I was more than curious- I was \u003cem\u003eReady Ready. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e*You'll see the bowl in a few John Frum Photos!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, I dug around online and found a couple variations on the traditional recipe. Now with fresh Kava Kava Root in hand and my ceremonial bowl and masher I was ready. After about 45 minutes of preparation the milky white, vetiver smelling juice was all set to consume. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI sat in a comfortable chair in the living room and drank all of it. After only what seemed a few minutes I melted into the armchair, both my mouth and tongue went completely numb; tingly. I felt like I was smiling but I doubt those tiny muscles were really working. I just laughed, everything was great, I wanted to dance, sing, possibly write a poem but could not move! It's said, it is impossible to hate or get angry when drinking Kava Kava, and man are they right. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my mind’s eye I started to put together the different notes I then somehow knew would work well in the scent blend, with much effort I managed to jot down the scent blend almost as if the Kava Kava root was dictating it to me. In recollection, it sounds kind of far out or silly, but at the time this was a very serious matter...well, kinda serious, there was that perma-smile on my face, real or imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI eventually fell asleep only to be shaken awake by Fran many hours later! It turns out the recipe I made was for 5-8 grown men, for a real kava kava ceremony! The reason why I am sharing this story with you is just to give you a little peek into what goes into my scent exploration and some of the really dumb stuff I do in an effort to deliver something really unique or authentic, something much more than a simple aftershave or soap, but a full-fledged experience...\u003cem\u003eeven if it kills me in the process. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso in the splash you will find 4 very potent, effective plant extracts: Aloe Vera, Bayberry, Coffeeberry and Seaweed. As far as I know, I was the first artisan to utilize plant extracts in an effort to boost the beneficial attributes of an aftershave, and John Frum is no different, I went all out! The scent of Bayberry also lends itself to the base of the fragrance quite nicely!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBayberry\u003c\/strong\u003e is considered an astringent herb, with a thick and soothing scent note. \u003cstrong\u003eCoffeeberry\u003c\/strong\u003e: The polyphenolic antioxidant contained within the extract soaks up damaging free radicals and may help to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Polyphenols from Coffeeberry can help reduce puffiness on skin. As for \u003cstrong\u003eSeaweed Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e, the same mix of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and antioxidants that can benefit your body when you eat it, can also help your skin when applied topically!

Which was now rapidly turning to anger for Fran.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What kind of sick joke is this?\" Fran demanded as Douglas just looked on wide eyed with a slight twitch. \"As if I didn't already hate wicker to know end.\" She added under her breath. This is true, Fran had a burning hatred for the stuff and when you consider the fate of the historic wicker man, this glowed red with irony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe site before them was rather odd, a single engine plane, built entirely of dry, pliable plant material. Not a bad replica considering, it even included a propeller. Having built many a model airplane as a child, Doug looked on the craft, though useless to them now, with admiration and thought, \"that took a lotta glue.\" his eyes scanned the ground hungrily for that suspect silver tube of euphoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Maybe this is the pilot’s version of the Mc Playland, a real jungle gym...whoa?\" Thought Doug out loud, eyes still scanning the sands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHuxley thought this was great and thought to himself, \"Mc Huxland.\" As he went in to claim it his, as only a canine can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFran looked up again at the faux airplane and then at Douglas and was about to say something, then decided it would serve her better to just sit down in the shade, head in hands and mumble to herself in an unknown language. A small breakdown would be good for her, maybe top it off with a nap. But that was not to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally turning away from the straw plane, Douglas found himself nose to nose ring with an islander, many islanders, he was surrounded. Chief John Wan stepped forward smiling with his hand extended to Doug and spoke in his best English, \"Welcome home John Frum?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDouglas thought fast and accepted the chief's hand, \"From where?\" Well, not that fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Frum...\" he paused, \"...here.\" Said the chief tapping Doug on the chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hmmmmmm, I see...\" Said Doug slowly as he scrunched up his face and pondered, calmly stepping back. Chief John Wan made a similar face. \"Would you excuse me for a moment?\" asked Doug as he held up a finger, excusing himself again as he slipped between two smiling locals holding wooden toy rifles making his way over to Fran who was still lying down in the shade at the edge of the runway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFran looked up and spoke before Doug had a chance, \"I got nothing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yeah, this is a new one for me too. I mean, I think this is a case of mistaken identity? Maybe we should go with it until we understand a little better what the heck is going on around here.\" Spoke Doug in a hushed tone looking back to the throng every now and then. By this point Huxley was making new friends with the islanders who were amazed at the agility of the fur pig that prancing around inside the circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* * *\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe British Sailor sat at the edge of the jungle catching his breath pantless. He had no idea what he was seeing on the airstrip. A group of natives, 2 Americans...they had to be yanks, and what appeared to be a giant Alaskan Malamute performing a routine. \"What the devil?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese were not the cannibals that had held him captive but a completely different group, or culture even. Maybe he was hallucinating? His heart was still pounding hard after his ordeal and the mad dash he had made through the interior of the island...though no cannibals gave chase. It was as if they had left. He thought for sure after the gunshot reverberated through the cave they would be on his heels, but nothing. Where did they go and what the hell was going on?\u003cbr\u003e_________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo Be Continued!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Discount","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22560182042672,"sku":"","price":44.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/john-frum-epic-artisan-shaving-soap-aftershave-bundle-deal-ultra-premium-ck-6-formula-389244.jpg?v=1726347501"}],"url":"https:\/\/phoenixshaving.com\/collections\/ultra-premium-formula-ck-6.oembed?page=8","provider":"Phoenix Shaving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
