Did some quick math on this one: the new Santalum + Cedrus candle – a co-work from the wonderful Baxter of California line and Saturdays Surf NYC – gives off the scent of
dominant cedar-wood & sandalwood accord. You get a hit of spice and vetiver in there as well. The run time on the candle comes in at 60 hours. The cost to you is $30. At 50cents an hour, that is an economically priced candle to keep wafting the freshness with this soy based candle. Available through Saturdays and Baxter locations.

Baxter of California makes great products. No question on that. We have been a fan of their shaving cream and their after shave for ages (I am pretty sure I mentioned them way back when I was doing Weeklydrop). Today, the company delivers the next companion product to their grooming and personal health arsenal: Deodorant.
Yes, it is simply called “Deodorant” and is made with a sensitive skin formula that is alcohol and aluminum free. “The new formulation contains Comfrey Root Extract, Tea Tree Oil, Chamomile, Yarrow and Acai Extract, among other botanical and natural ingredients.” Available online and through better Baxter of California retailers.

Not more than a half decade past, the swinging pendulum of the Head Porter camera pouch on a carabiner was the symbol of Japanese “street fashion” moving into the west. Argue it as you may, but the very few (initiall) who could get their hands on the pouch coveted them. The price was nominal compared to the Porter full-sized bag offerings. Like the GUCCI belt, it was one of those well priced items affordable by all.
Today, things are a bit different. The expansion of Porter pouch love moves into new territory. Take the Baxter of California’s “Grooming Implements” kit, which features a custom Porter pouch shell and three grooming tools: a nail file, tweezers, and nail clipper – all marked with the “Baxter of California” name. $140 makes this an excellent gift option for the person in your life who needs some upkeep help.

With 50 years experience producing grooming products (shampoo, skincare, etc.), Baxter of California has made the move to “grooming implements.” As with the products, Baxter is keeping this line simple, beginning with a beautiful handmade tortoise comb. Environmentalists will be pleased to learn that the combs are not real tortoise, but instead are produced from high quality cellulose acetate sheets (a natural, modified polymer derived from cotton and tree pulp cellulose). From cutting to polishing, each comb goes through a detailed 12-step process of manufacturing (all done by hand), resulting in smoothly tapered teeth and rounded tips for comfort and care of the hair and scalp.
Unquestionably handsome haircare, the combs come in three sizes.

Highsnob loves the smell of candles. They profile the Baxter of California for Colette “We Love California” candle. “The new scented-soy-wax-candle aptly named “Cruel Summer” was inspired by the scent and ambience of California. Cruel Summer opens with a very powerful green, leafy top note accented with a citrus lemon undertone. The body of this complex blend is a floral, green bouquet starring brilliant hyacinth, tempered with notes of cyclamen, and accented with a fresh marine accord. These rest on an alluring white musk base, embellished with cedar wood.”

Just thinking about some stocking stuffers with this one. A good one. “Baxter of California … 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.” Available through the Staurday’s NYC shop.

Baxter continues to celebrate their 45th with a new razor featuring Hart steel blade and a Makr sleeev. “The Hart Steel blade is predominately a hand made product, and all of the processes are completed in Northern Michigan by skilled artisans…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. This is a legit item so play nice.
