Find the ENTIRE Casi Perfecto Collection Here!
Here is our latest homage, Casi Perfecto! A tribute to a 90's classic, Curve for men. Chances are you or one of your friends wore the heck out of this stuff back in the day, and likely still do! I actually don't even consider this nostalgic but as relevant as ever; timeless even. However, at some point there was a slight reformulation and the "new" stuff just didn't seem as potent as the OG! For that reason we had to step in with a Phoenix reboot and not only crank it back up but also build a collection of matching products around it for the gents still rocking this intoxicating juice!
As for our name, Casi Perfecto...that is Spanish for "Almost Perfect". This is not in regard to the fragrance but to the year it was originally released, 1996. 96 is an almost perfect number! In mathematics, an almost perfect number is a natural number n such that the sum of all divisors of n is equal to 2n − 1, the sum of all proper divisors of n, s(n) = σ(n) − n, then being equal to n − 1. The only known almost perfect numbers are powers of 2 with non-negative exponents. But i'm sure this was all obvious. ;)
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!
