Captain Fawcett

Captain Fawcett UK
In 1905 Captain Peabody Fawcett R.N Ret’d, the intrepid and eminent Edwardian explorer, disappeared whilst attempting to navigate to the source of the Ubangi, a major tributary to the Congo River.

No trace was ever found of his seemingly doomed expedition... until that is, in 1997, an old battered trunk purchased at a house clearance sale, was taken home and its locks forced. Incredibly, amongst its decaying and mildewed contents was found an exquisite dressing case containing salves, unguents, ointments and the missing adventurers long lost journals. Scattered amongst the many tales of hardship, derring do and wonders seen, where one was expected to “keep a stiff upper lip, regardless”, were found 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 for the first time in over a century.

The Man Behind Captain Fawcett

Richard Finney from Norfolk, UK, had the brilliant idea of cooking up his own moustache wax in his kitchen for personal use. A few hundred tins were produced in the beginning, and today there is a wide array of products including beard oils, perfumes, combs, and brushes.

With a 25-year background in the film industry, Richard’s kitchen experiment evolved into Captain Fawcett – now a global brand renowned for its British heritage while remaining modern and relevant. The products are exquisitely packaged with a true sense of craftsmanship and style.

Captain Fawcett’s Motto

The motto "keep a stiff upper lip regardless" speaks to perseverance and unwavering belief in one’s mission. It suggests that by staying resilient, others will follow. It’s a powerful message, especially familiar to entrepreneurs who must endure, believe, and fight for their ideas, brands, and success.

A large part of Captain Fawcett’s success comes from the brand’s unique expression, infused with humor and a twinkle in the eye present in every product and detail. Mr. Finney’s personal dedication, sense of networking, and distinctive character have been key factors in the brand’s remarkable journey.

We can expect to see even more from Captain Fawcett, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2020.
