    If you're searching for a luxurious, plant-based shaving soap, look no further than Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements John Frum CK6 Shaving Soap. Handmade in the USA, PAA have developed their premium CK-6 Formula and this is the John Frum version, featuring a bright musk fragrance.

    To create this CK-6 Formula, Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements set themselves the task of innovating a super slick and smooth shaving soap that didn't need any animal products whatsoever. They wanted to outshine even tallow-based soaps using all plant-based ingredients.

    After much testing they finally settled on a blend of kokum butter, cocoa butter, shea butter, jojoba wax, bacuri butter, cupuacu butter and murumuru butter. Take note of the last three ingredients as these are what make the CK-6 Formula particularly unique and special.

    This fragrance is part of Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements' John Frum range which is a refined and modern musk scent. As with many of PAA's products there is a fascinating backstory around the intention for creating this.

    The concept of 'John Frum' came to prominence around the time of World War 2; he is something of a folk legend, almost a deity. You could class him as the head of a 'cargo cult', a religious phenomenon whereby citizens of a country or region carry out rituals in the hope that a more technologically-advanced society will deliver goods to them. John Frum was the 'god' of one such cult on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu and is usually depicted as an American fighter pilot -- the idea probably sprouted after initial visits from American soldiers in the 1940s.

    PAA's John Frum harks back to a classic wartime fragrance with the musk base, but the addition of more exotic and maritime aromas from citrus as well as sea salt, ambergris and Royal Hawaiian sandalwood really make this stand out as something special.

    Even if you're not usually drawn to musk, we're sure you'll enjoy starting your morning shaving ritual with this. It's bright, spicy and PAA themselves describe it as "epic."

    Directions of use - To use this shaving soap, simply take a wet shaving brush and start to whip up the product onto the brush. You can then use a shaving bowl to lather up the product into a cream, or you can apply directly to the face.
