Baxter of California X Saturdays NYC "Beach Soap"

 

We are still grinning at this - it came out so good!

Baxter of California, the premium men’s grooming line since 1965, teams up with Saturdays NYC to produce a limited distribution “Beach Soap”.

The new soap is loosely inspired by Baxter’s popular Italian Lime scented glycerin bar, but was “re-mixed” by the guys at Saturdays to capture the essence of the Atlantic Ocean. The team formulated a CITRUS & HERBAL-EUCALYPTUS blend resulting in a fresh, masculine interpretation of the ATLANTIC.

The hand made 3.5 oz. bar will retail for $8 and is available at Saturdays NYC, Baxter Finley barber & shop, and online at www.baxterofcalifornia.com.

The Glycerin based bar is enriched with skin soothing Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, D and A, plus hydrating Seal Kelp extract.

 

BAXTER OF CALIFORNIA “NOT A REPLICA” CUT THROAT RAZOR - MADE IN THE USA

 

With the previous limited edition 45th anniversary blade being so successful, we had to bring a new blade to market -

The new blade is loosely inspired by firearms, and is titled “not a replica”. The blade features a matte black tang (handle), and blue steel blade. Proudly manufactured in the USA by Hart Steel, the blade was custom designed by the Baxter of California creative team.

The blade is offered at $240. In addition to the blade, Baxter of California called on MAKR Carry goods once again to make a new leather sleeve for the blade. The sleeve is hand crafted from Horween Cordovan leather (Navy Blue), and takes style cues from the popular MAKR angle wallet. Blade + Sleeve retails for $325.

The Hart Steel blade is predominately a hand made product, and all of the processes are completed in Northern Michigan by skilled artisans. Hart Steel is tested at a Rockwell hardness of 63, which gives one’s razor the sharpest and most long-lasting edge possible. Artisan Technicians, from start to finish, hand grind, mark, sharpen and assemble each razor. Each AT personally stamps each razor to indicate his craftsmanship.

Genuine Shell Cordovan is the art of tanning at its finest.  More than just a color, it’s a very specific leather, from a particular part of a horsehide.  The irregular oval shaped shells are tanned, stuffed, shaved, and then polished – a process taking six months.  Each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors. The shells are genuine hot stuffed then slicked onto glass frames to dry.  Each shell is hand curried and shaved by highly skilled artisans to expose the shell. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen.
