Captain Fawcett’s Scapicchio Fig, Olive & Bay Rum Shaving Soap (Options)

A shaving soap with a story worth telling. Created in collaboration with Luigi Scapicchio - fifth-generation heir to one of the world's most distinguished barbering dynasties - this Signature Series Shaving Soap blends Fig, Olive and Bay Rum into a lather that is as rich in character as it is in history. Evoking the barbershops of Puglia and Chicago in equal measure, it delivers old-world craftsmanship and a lather that softens whiskers, nourishes skin and fills the room with something memorable. Evviva!

Also available as a Refill: The Scapicchio Shaving Soap Refill contains the same glorious Fig, Olive and Bay Rum formula in a convenient format that drops neatly into your existing wooden bowl. Same lather, less waste - and no wooden bowl included with the refill.

For the wet shaver who takes the ritual as seriously as the result. Anyone who appreciates craft, story and provenance in their grooming kit will find something to love here - a barbershop soap with genuine lineage behind it. The wooden bowl presentation makes it a natural consideration for gifting, while the refill option suits those committed to the full Scapicchio experience without the cost of a repeat bowl.

• Scapicchio barbering legacy - five generations of Italian shaving mastery behind the collaboration

• Glycerin - powerful humectant that keeps skin moisturised throughout the shave and after rinsing -
• Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus Globulus Oil) - clarifying and soothing essential oil that adds freshness and calms the skin during the shave
• Lavender (Lavandula Oil/Extract) - calming botanical that soothes post-shave sensitivity and contributes to the warm aromatic scent
• Potassium Stearate - soft soap base component that contributes to the rich, dense lather characteristic of traditional wet shave soaps

Wet your shaving brush thoroughly, shake off excess water and swirl firmly over the soap surface to load the brush. Build a thick, creamy lather in a bowl or directly on the face using circular motions. Apply evenly to the shave area and proceed with your preferred razor. Rinse and repeat as needed between passes.

Refill: Place the refill soap into your Scapicchio wooden bowl. Wet brush, load generously and lather as above.

The Scapicchio Shaving Soap is a rare collaboration that earns its premium positioning through both provenance and performance. The Fig, Olive and Bay Rum scent profile is one of the more distinctive and genuinely evocative in our shaving range - nothing else in the Captain Fawcett lineup smells quite like it. The Eucalyptus and Lavender bring real functional value to the shave experience, and the five-generation Scapicchio story gives this product genuine credibility beyond the fragrance. The refill option is a thoughtful sustainability addition worth flagging at the till.
