Come sit down next to the campfire as old Doug here shares with you a tale of righteousness and woe. How's that for drama?
Ok maybe that was a little too much but what I will say is, Tokyo Rose is a Phoenix Shaving classic and originally the official scent for The Big Shave West 3! So popular it was that day that it sold out within the first 2 hours of the event! (As you might imagine, that didn't go over too well at the time!)
The scent was inspired by Pasadena itself, original home to the first 3 Big Shave events; Roses in homage to the Rose Bowl and Cherry in tribute to the Pasadena Cherry Blossom Festival (which happened during the same time as our event each year)! So through these two celebrations the scent created itself, with a little help from me. It's always magical when an accord comes together so effortlessly!
As you may have noticed above, Tokyo Rose is much more than those two harmonious notes however; Ambergris (vegan), Sandalwood, Oud, Amyris & Cardamom, and though supporting notes, they play a huge, collective part in the success of the fragrance. Both spicy and masculine with a subtle undertone of sensual playfulness in an almost Cherry Coke type heart note! Sounds amazing right?
Due To Much Demand, The Original Label Is Back...sort of?
It's True, Shave Cadets! After observing much chatter online about the original label, we decided to bring it back! Kinda, I made a tweak or two but other than that, it's the same. (yet even more EPIC)
Who Was Tokyo Rose?
Few figures from World War II occupy the strange gray zone between history, myth, and propaganda quite like Tokyo Rose. She was never a single person, but a nickname Allied troops gave to several English-speaking women broadcasting from Japan. The most famous, Iva Toguri, was an American citizen stranded in Japan by the war. Her broadcasts mixed music, banter, and morale-warping propaganda, turning her into a wartime legend. After the war, she became the center of one of America's most controversial treason cases, only to be pardoned decades later. Hero, villain, victim, or scapegoat? More than 80 years later, the mystery of Tokyo Rose still refuses to fade.
As For This Scent?
I said it then and I'll say it now again, Tokyo Rose is Truly an American Classic, as classic as denim, Cherry Coke and white cotton t-shirts any day! A melting pot and marriage of notes like nothing else before or since, and a must have for every shave den across the land! (Trust Me!)
Star Jelly?
If an aftershave balm and alcohol based splash were to have a baby, our Star Jelly Aftershave Formula would be their love child. Not to be confused with an alcohol free balm, meaning; this stuff still contains alcohol and a kiss of menthol to give you that classic splash feel at first. Then there is that familiar cool down we all know and love...but something more is going on, something cosmic!
Unlike traditional balms, our Star Jelly absorbs rapidly into freshly shaven skin without any greasy, heavy feeling build up! Star Jelly leaves your skin moisturized and silky. A refreshing, alternative that you instantly will fall in love with!
