Shaving With Ghost Ship

Today, I use something that's been in the den since I started wet shaving videos. The company went under a different name back then; it was called Beaver Woodright. Then, it changed to Black Ship Grooming, and now, yet another metamorphosis is happening. I refocus, if you will, but I'm not sure what the refocus will be.

Black Ship Grooming, formerly known as Beaver Wood, was established by Kelly Hogan, the owner of the now-rebranded establishment. Despite the name change, the exceptional quality of their shaving soaps and aftershaves remains undeniable. Interestingly, the company’s origins trace back to its initial production of pens and rolling pins. The name “Beaver Woodright” was inspired by Kelly Hogan’s residence in Beaver, Pennsylvania, and his exceptional woodworking skills, which earned him the title of “woodright.” In 2015, the company shifted its focus to pirate-themed shaving soaps and accessories. This change was prompted by numerous customer feedback at shows, where the previous name was deemed unsuitable. After discussing the matter with his wife, Black Ship Grooming was born.

Shaving With Godnej Shaving Cream

Today I use Godnej Shaving Cream. If you have never tried it, let me say that for the price, it can't be beat. It has a sort of lemon scent, but not overpowering. Performance-wise, let's just say this has been in my den since 2014. Once I found it again, I noticed the plastic cap had broken, and the shaving cream was exposed to the air. Even after this long time, the shaving cream came right back to life without a hitch. If that's not worth $4.50, then I don't know what is.

As you can see by the video, the shave was a good one. The lather got right into the beard, providing great coverage. The slickness and glide were very good, allowing for an irritation-free shave, and the post-shave feel amazing. All in all, a wonderful shave.

If you stay to the end of the video, you can see the new UV printer at work, creating product labels for Wet the Face. As soon as all the paper labels are gone, all of the products will be labeled this way. No more sending artwork out to the printers and then waiting a week for it to arrive, only to find out the colors are off and it needs to be reprinted again.

Bright, bold, and energetic, Back It & Jack It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and fruity freshness led by cranberry, grapefruit, and Italian lemon. As it develops, saffron, sage, and lavender bring warm aromatic depth and a slightly spicy edge that keeps the fragrance feeling smooth and modern.

The base settles into amber, coffee, and woody notes, creating a grounded finish with warmth, richness, and lasting character. It’s a confident scent profile that feels lively up front and strong through the finish.
