Thomas (British), for an article in the journal Nature. In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soils and rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound, geosmin, a metabolic by-product of certain Actinobacteria, which is emitted by wet soil, producing the distinctive scent; ozone may also be present if there is lightning. In a follow-up paper, Bear and Thomas (1965) showed that the oil retards seed germination and early plant growth.This would indicate that the plants exude the oil in order to safeguard the seeds from germination under duress.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCUBE 2.0?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e - 8 ounces and 6 sides of solid otherworldliness. \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e your everyday preshave. \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e takes your shave to another dimension adding \u003cstrong\u003eextra protection\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehydration\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eslickness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eglide\u003c\/strong\u003e.

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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"320\" width=\"419\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"Cube Preshave Soap\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/CUBE_Preshave_Soap_Activated_Charcoal_Phoenix_Shaving_large.jpg?v=1506271554\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUBE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe release of \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e has been a long time coming.
