Captain Fawcett NZ | Official Stockist | Zilion
Captain Fawcett in New Zealand
Captain Fawcett is an English gentleman's grooming house best known for its moustache wax in small 15ml tins, the kind of product a man with a proper handlebar keeps in his jacket pocket. The range has since grown into beard oils, beard balms, pomades, wet shave soaps, aftershave balm and eau de parfum, all dressed in the brand's distinctly old-school packaging.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of Captain Fawcett, with 123 products listed. Alongside the single tins and bottles you will find 10ml travel oils, twin packs, oil and balm duo bundles, combs, boar bristle brushes, shaving brushes and the Rockwell Safety Razor. If you have been hunting for a Captain Fawcett stockist in New Zealand that carries the full scent families, they are all here.
About Captain Fawcett
The brand is built around fragrance families. Each signature scent usually appears across several formats, so you can match a moustache wax, beard oil and beard balm. Private Stock is the original house blend of cedarwood, black pepper, patchouli and musk, and the beard oil version adds palmarosa. Maharajah is rich and oriental, Expedition Reserve is fresh, and The Gentleman's Tipple is inspired by whisky.
Captain Fawcett is also known for collaborations. There are signature blends with guitarist John Petrucci (Nebula), Ricki Hall (Booze and Baccy), Jimmy Niggles, Rufus Hound (Triumphant), Sid Sottung (Barberism) and Alessandro Manfredini. The formulas themselves are straightforward: moustache waxes rely on beeswax and essential oils, beard balms combine natural waxes, shea butter and essential oils, and the beard oils blend natural carrier oils with essential oils in 50ml glass bottles with a pipette dropper.
The Captain Fawcett Range
Beard Care is the largest part of the range. Beard oils come in 50ml bottles and 10ml travel sizes, beard balms in 60ml tins, and moustache waxes in 15ml tins. Beer'd Shampoo cleanses the beard with malted barley extract and hops, and oil and balm duo bundles pair matching scents.
Shaving covers the traditional wet shave. There are shaving soaps in carved wooden bowls with 110g refills, including the Italian-inspired Scapicchio, Expedition Reserve Shaving Cream, Post Shave Balm, the Rockwell Safety Razor and two animal-free shaving brushes.
Hair Styling is a tidy line of four 100g pomades (Classic, Strong, Clay and Putty) plus Sea Salt Spray for loose texture.
Fragrance brings the signature scents into 50ml eau de parfum: Original, Maharajah, Booze and Baccy, Triumphant, Barberism and Alessandro Manfredini.
Body Wash and Body Care include Booze and Baccy and Expedition Reserve body washes, The Gentleman's Soap, Expedition Reserve Moisturiser and Physician Lip Balm.
Combs, Brushes and Hair Accessories round things off with folding pocket beard and moustache combs, leather sleeves, wild boar bristle brushes, grooming scissors with a leather pouch and the Tweed Wash Bag.

How to Choose the Right Captain Fawcett Product
Short beard or stubble: a few drops of beard oil each day is enough. Start with a 10ml travel size if you are still choosing a scent.
Longer or unruly beard: pair beard oil with a 60ml beard balm. The oil conditions the skin and hair, and the balm adds light hold to tame stray hairs. Wash once or twice a week with Beer'd Shampoo.
Styled moustache: any 15ml moustache wax gives firm hold. Choose Expedition Strength for curled tips and handlebars, or Physician Menthol for a cooling feel.
Hair styling: Classic Pomade for medium hold and shine, Strong Pomade for firm control, Clay Pomade for strong hold with a matte finish, and Putty Pomade for texture and a matte look. Sea Salt Spray suits relaxed, wavy styles.
Wet shaving: build a lather from shaving soap with a brush, or use Expedition Reserve Shaving Cream if you prefer a tube. Finish with Post Shave Balm.
Choosing a scent: Private Stock is woody and spicy, Maharajah is rich and oriental, Expedition Reserve is fresh, and The Gentleman's Tipple leans towards whisky. The Moustache Wax Cornucopia set lets you try three at once.
