CAPTAIN FAWCETT Stand: 20B31 W: captainfawcett.com Captain Fawcett’s Emporium in Kings Lynn is home to a simply delectable range of first-class gentlemen’s grooming requisites. In 1905 Captain Peabody Fawcett R.N Ret’d, the intrepid and eminent Edwardian explorer, disappeared while attempting to navigate to the source of the Ubangi. No trace was ever found of his seemingly doomed expedition – until 1997, that is, when an old battered trunk was purchased at a house clearance sale. The locks forced, among the decaying and mildewed contents was found an exquisite dressing case, containing salves, unguents, ointments and the missing adventurer’s long-lost journals. Scattered within the many tales of hardship and wonders were meticulously detailed lists of exotic ingredients for use in the Captain’s very own grooming requisites. These precise formulae have been faithfully followed and Fawcett’s original potions – along with his world-renowned Moustache Wax – are now available to the discerning gentleman. The Captain is delighted to attend Spring Fair with a selection of new items, including his simply splendid vegan- friendly Synthetic Shaving Brush, brand-new Malt Whisky Beard Oil and hand-crafted carbon steel Straight Razor with essential Leather Razor Strop. These new products feature alongside the Captain’s favourite ranges of moustache waxes, beard oils, Eau de Parfums, fine hand-crafted shaving tools and luxury gift sets.
