Captain Fawcett
At Anna Davies, we’re thrilled to bring you the remarkable story – and the even more remarkable products – of Captain Peabody Fawcett. Imagine this: in 1905, Captain Fawcett, a celebrated Edwardian explorer, set off on an ambitious expedition to uncover the source of the Ubangi River, deep in the heart of Africa. He was never heard from again, and his story became one of adventure and mystery… until fate intervened.
Fast-forward to 1997, when an old, weather-beaten trunk surfaced at a house sale, covered in the dust and marks of its journeys. Inside, amid layers of decay, someone uncovered an explorer’s dream – a beautifully preserved dressing case filled with Captain Fawcett’s original grooming treasures. But it didn’t stop there. Alongside these timeless concoctions were his journals, packed with tales of hardship, exploration, and exotic ingredients he sourced on his travels, paired with his philosophy to “keep a stiff upper lip, regardless.”
Today, thanks to the precise recipes meticulously recorded in Captain Fawcett’s journals, his luxurious grooming products, including his famous Moustache Wax, have been faithfully recreated for the modern-day adventurer. Each item invites you to carry a piece of his enduring spirit – crafted to perfection for the discerning gentleman.
