History:  Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements is the brainchild of Frances Towle (former owner of Petal Pusher Fancies) and Douglas Smythe (former owner of How To Grow A Mustache). They decided to leave the cold, wet life of the east coast for the dry desert climate of central Arizona! With a new location they choose a new mascot, the phoenix: rising from the ashes and a fresh start! Since moving to the west they co-founded the Big Shave West, an annual shaving event that brings shavers, artisan, retailers, and wet-tubers together. 

The Products:

         Phoenix Artisan boasts a large catalogue of unique shaving soaps, aftershaves, safety razors, and other accessories. Their vegan formula never disappoints, and their Crown King Kokum Butter formula is absolutely incredible! Douglas takes inspiration from everything around him, selecting the best vintage razors to reintroduce into the market at very affordable prices.
