Captain Fawcett

The Captain urges you to look up 🌑

This evening at 7pm, the skies above Blighty are putting on a rather spectacular show - and the RHM, ever the prepared adventurer, has dusted off his copy of the Collins Eclipse guide from the 11th August 1999. A once in a lifetime event, apparently. One does wonder if he's been carrying it in his breast pocket since. I say!

A gentle but firm word of warning from the Captain: do NOT look directly at the eclipse without proper protection. The RHM's rather fetching solar eclipse glasses are, naturally, the preferred option.

However, should you find yourself woefully unprepared, fear not - hold a colander or a pinhole in a piece of paper with your back to the sun and watch the eclipse project its crescent shapes onto the ground before you.

But don't go to bed! For the heavens have yet another spectacle in reserve!

The Perseids meteor shower reaches its peak tonight, visible across the Northern Hemisphere. From midnight until dawn, cast your gaze northeast towards Perseus, from whose radiant quarter these celestial streaks shall appear to issue forth. A most splendid nocturnal display, should the clouds have the good manners to keep out of it! 💫

And for those inclined to carry a little of the cosmos with them, the Captain's Nebula Signature Series seems a most fitting companion: a touch of the celestial, for gentlemen with their sights set on higher things.

Are you watching tonight, dear chums? 🌞

Hunstanton beckons! 🏖️⁠
⁠
Yesterday, the Captain's Crew descended upon Hunstanton for their annual day of well-earned revelry consisting of beach huts, crazy golf, fish & chips and a rendezvous with the sea life centre.⁠
⁠
The RHM was already three ice cream scoops deep and eyeing up the putting green with suspicious confidence by 11am!⁠

Rest assured that normal service shall resume today... probably ;}> ⁠

The Captain is absolutely delighted to welcome back the magnificent Ilona Moore ( / ) - Captain Fawcett's very own Educator Extraordinaire - as she returns to her old stomping grounds at the wonderful L'Atelier de La Barbière!

Huzzah, huzzah and thrice huzzah!

Here's to new chapters, familiar faces and the continued pursuit of first class barbering excellence. The Captain raises a glass most heartily.

I say, should you be in the area, do pop by, say hello and tell em' the Captain sent you! ;}>

A veritable throwback...

Bravo that man!

Triumphant. The Captain's most exhilarating collaboration crafted alongside actor, motorcyclist and all-round good egg Rufus Hound.

Inspired by the heady elation of bowling down England's green and pleasant lanes, visor up, hedgerows foaming, laughter riding on the wind. Bright as a May morning. Alive with the call of the open road.

Top notes of Bergamot, Lime and Ylang. Mid notes of Blackcurrant, Clove and Galbanum.

Base notes of Sandalwood, Ambergris and Musk.
