INTRODUCING CAPTAIN FAWCETT
Hey, it’s Adam here at Slick Styles. As many of you know, men’s grooming is more than just a business to me, it’s a true passion. From the moment I started this journey, I’ve been dedicated to offering products that not only work but also elevate the grooming experience. It’s about more than just looking good; it’s about feeling good, too.
One brand that’s always stood out to me for its commitment to quality and innovation is Captain Fawcett. From the very beginning, we’ve been proud to stock their products, and over the years, I’ve seen first hand how their range continues to impress. Captain Fawcett isn’t just about grooming, it’s about creating a ritual that combines craftsmanship, style, and attention to detail.
What I love about this brand is its versatility. Whether you’re after premium beard care, a luxurious shaving experience, or a fragrance that lingers all day, Captain Fawcett has you covered. Their products are designed to not only look great on your bathroom shelf but to perform at the highest level, making your grooming routine something you actually look forward to.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of trying and testing a wide range of their offerings, and I can genuinely say that they never disappoint. Their dedication to quality and their passion for creating products that meet the needs of every man is what keeps me coming back. So, I wanted to take a moment to share why I’m such a big fan of Captain Fawcett and what makes them a brand you should definitely know about. Whether you’re just starting your grooming journey or looking to upgrade your current routine, Captain Fawcett has something for everyone.
WHO IS CAPTAIN FAWCETT
The story of Captain Fawcett is shrouded in a delightful air of mystery. Supposedly, Captain Percy Fawcett, a globetrotting adventurer of the early 20th century, vanished on an expedition, leaving behind a treasure trove of grooming recipes and journals. These were rediscovered years later, forming the basis of the Captain Fawcett brand. While the tale may be more legend than fact, it perfectly captures the brand’s whimsical and adventurous spirit. What is true is that Captain Fawcett creates high-quality grooming products with a vintage aesthetic and a focus on natural ingredients.
BEARD CARE
If you are serious about beard care then Captain Fawcett is a must try! From nourishing Beard Oils that tame unruly whiskers to conditioning Beard Balms that provide hold and shine, their range caters to every stage of beard growth. Even if you are rocking a tash the Moustache Waxes are amazing, offering superior hold that lasts all day long—no matter the weather. Their products are designed to withstand the elements, keeping your beard looking its best from morning to night. I obviously test out a lot of products across all the brands we stock, but I always have at least one bottle of Captain Fawcett’s Beard Oil to hand. There really isn’t a bad fragrance to choose from either.
HAIR STYLING
They also offer the perfect range of hair styling products to suit all needs. Whether you’re into a classic slick-back or a more modern textured look, Captain Fawcett has you covered. I personally tend to rock a slick-back so I’ve mainly used the Classic Pomade and Strong Hold Pomade. Both are easy to style with, providing a smooth application without any tugging, and they wash out effortlessly at the end of the day. The Classic Pomade delivers a sleek, medium hold with a natural shine, while the Strong Hold Pomade offers a firmer grip that keeps everything in place without feeling stiff or crunchy. Unlike some styling products, these won’t dry your hair out, and the signature fragrance lingers all day, making them a pleasure to use. They also offer a Clay, Putty, Hair Tonic, Sea Salt Spray & Texture Powder, so they really do have something for everyone.
SHAVING
Now on to the shaving essentials. As a bearded man I personally don’t have too much experience with this range. I did however ask some friends and family to test them out and the feedback was very similar. They all not only loved the fragrances but they also found the lather of the Shaving Soaps amazing. Some of them also tested out the Razors an said it was a very smooth and comfortable shave.
FRAGRANCE
What better way to complete your grooming routine than with one of Captain Fawcett’s Fragrances. Once again, they offer a broad range of distinct scents (more about those below!) so there’s a high chance you’ll find at least one you love. I’ve tried them all, and honestly, I couldn’t pick a favourite. They each have their own unique character and all smell incredible. One thing I’ve consistently noticed is how long-lasting they are. Every scent I’ve worn has stayed with me throughout the day without fading. Plus, I often get positive comments when I’m out, which just goes to show the quality and appeal of these fragrances.
COLLABORATIONS
Captain Fawcett doesn’t just make great products; they team up with some seriously cool guys and influential figures to create truly unique and characterful scents. These partnerships bring together expert craftsmanship and personal style, resulting in fragrances that stand out from the crowd. Each collaboration tells a story, inspired by the personality, lifestyle, and signature flair of the individual behind it. Whether it’s the rugged charm of an adventurer, the refined elegance of a modern gentleman, or the rebellious spirit of a rockstar, these fragrances capture something special. From rich, woody blends to fresh, citrusy notes and deep, smoky accords, there’s a collaboration scent to suit every personality and occasion.
I’ve shared below all the collaborations, along with a brief description of each distinctive fragrance range.
BOOZE & BACCY
WITH RICKI HALL
A collaboration with the World renowned Dandy & Gentleman about town Mr Ricki Hall to create the simply delectable bespoke Booze & Baccy. An intensely masculine Signature Series fragrance for contemporary charmers.

BARBERISM
WITH SID SOTTUNG
A Collaboration with Sid Sottung has produced a simply superlative fragrance, evocative of New York’s old school Italian barber shops. Inspired by the classic masculine aromas of hair tonics, aftershaves and pomades, mingled with tobacco smoke and work weary, honest sweat; redolent memories of young Sid’s Brooklyn hair cutting apprenticeship. Way back when.
Fragrance: A timeless, elegant scent with refreshing top notes of Lime & Orange, spiked by provocative Rose & Galbanum rising from an earthy Cedarwood, Patchouli & Musk base.
MAHARAJAH
WITH THE JODHPUR COMPANY
This collaboration with The Jodhpur Company has resulted in a most outstanding Signature Series fragrance. Conjuring up India’s princely opulence, ‘Maharajah’ is a magnificent evocation of ancient majesty tailored to suit the modern gentleman. All Hail the Hirsute.
Fragrance: Heady rose, peppery spice, rich musk, cedar and leather studded with dazzling citrus top notes.
NEBULA
WITH JOHN PETRUCCI
The extraordinary ‘Nebula’ Signature Series fragrance is nothing less than a tribute to the mysterious harmony of the universe. John Petrucci’s virtuoso composition with Captain Fawcett is quite simply…out of this world. A stellar range for all who rock.
Fragrance: Top notes of exhilarating bergamot & aromatic myrtle riff with the bittersweet tang of grapefruit, rising to an intense heart of earthy, violet orris, dark coffee & woody cedar. A pulse of seductive musk trails a smoky backbeat laced with vetiver & luxurious leather.
ALESSANDRO MANFREDINI
Captain Fawcett’s collaboration with Alessandro Manfredini is rich with recalled memory. A most seductive Signature Series fragrance evocative of Italy’s capricious seasons.
A gentleman artist of ageless elegance, Signor Manfredini manifests distinctive silver-bearded style. Alessandro is a survivor. The beetle is his talisman.
Fragrance: Woody spiced top notes of rosemary & star anise combine with mid notes of fresh green cyclamen on a bed of mineral ambergris, calming cedarwood & sun toasted tonka to fashion a simply magnificent alchemic fragrance.
TRIUMPHANT
WITH RUFUS HOUND
This collaboration with actor and comedian Rufus Hound has resulted in a splendorous Signature Series fragrance inspired by riding his beloved motorcycle thru England’s green & pleasant countryside.
Redolent of the balmy days of Spring, in truth this is simply a delightful alchemic concoction and as such I would wager this to be one of Fawcett’s finest.
Fragrance: A heady perfume leading with Bergamot, Lime & Ylang over a summery thrum of Blackcurrant, Clove & Galbanum grounded by earthy Sandalwood, Ambergris and Musk.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS
For me, Captain Fawcett is more than just a brand; it’s a whole philosophy. It embodies a dedication to timeless grooming, an appreciation for quality craftsmanship, and a sense of adventure that makes self-care feel like an experience rather than a routine. Every product is thoughtfully designed, not just to perform well, but to make you feel good while using it. From their exceptional beard care and styling range to their expertly crafted fragrances, there’s an attention to detail that sets them apart.
And those collaborations? They take things to another level entirely, blending classic sophistication with unique, character-driven scents that make a statement. Each fragrance tells a story, capturing elements of personality, history, and artistry in a bottle.
If you’re looking to elevate your grooming game with high-quality products that stand the test of time, I can’t recommend Captain Fawcett enough. Whether it’s their beard oils, pomades, or signature fragrances, there’s something in their collection that will leave a lasting impression; not just on you, but on those around you too.
