Command
the beard.Fear the hook.
Cold-pressed oils for men who run a tight ship. Softens coarse bristle, calms itch, and leaves a scent of sandalwood, smoke and old rum.
Four oils.
One captain's cabin.
Every bottle starts with the same base of jojoba and argan, then takes one signature scent. Choose your size and add it to your sea chest.
Time is
not on
your side.
Our boldest oil. Smoked clove and cardamom over a base of dark tobacco leaf. It's the one you wear when you want to be heard coming.
- Top
- Clove, cardamom
- Heart
- Black pepper, cedar
- Base
- Tobacco leaf, vetiver
Sixty seconds.
One hand will do.
Best done after a wash, while the beard is still a little damp.
Drop
Shake the bottle and tip 3–5 drops into your palm. Three for a short beard, five for a full one.
Warm
Rub your palm and fingers together for a few seconds. Warm oil spreads further and soaks in faster.
Work in
Massage into the skin underneath first, then draw it out to the tips. Don't forget the moustache.
Comb
Finish with a wide-tooth comb, or the blunt side of a hook. Twist the moustache ends if the occasion demands.
What's in
the bottle
Five carrier oils, one scent, and vitamin E to keep it fresh at sea.
Proportions shown for The Jolly Roger. The other oils swap the scent and keep the same base. Essential oils stay under 2% of the blend, well inside the usual guidance for leave-on facial products.

"The Captain's been in a far better mood since this arrived. Fewer planks walked this month than any on record."
"Thirty years at sea and my beard has never been this soft. Salt spray rolls right off it."
"Superb oil. One star off because the Captain hides in his cabin whenever I open the Tick-Tock."
Asked at
the gangplank
How long does a bottle last?
At 4 drops a day, a 30 ml bottle lasts about 4 months and a 50 ml bottle about 6. There are roughly 20 drops in each millilitre.
Will it make my beard greasy?
Not at 3–5 drops. Jojoba and almond absorb within a couple of minutes. If it feels slick, you've used too much, so comb the excess through to the ends.
Does the Tick-Tock bottle actually tick?
No. The name is a warning, not a feature. It smells of clove, cardamom and tobacco leaf, and makes no sound at all.
Can I apply it with one hand?
Yes. The dropper cap works one-handed, and the ritual above was written with that in mind.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere a ship can sail. UK delivery is free on orders over £35, and £3.95 below that.
