Few companies feature promotions that are more fun than the ones cooked up by the folks at Dr. Squatch, and this spring’s entry is no exception.

The new soaps are linked to a couple of the key characters from Call of Duty, which feels like a natural fit for this brand if ever there was one. Think grit and toughness as it pertains to soap and cleanups, and you’ll be on the right track.

Cleaning up when the Call of Duty is done

The title of this particular product release is the Call of Duty collection, and the first soap is called Ghost Grit. It’s a heavy-duty soap inspired by Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Ridley, and the specific scents are pepper and leather, along with charcoal to help customers feel like part of the masculine action.

Next up is the Sarge Soap, which is named after Lt. “Soap”MacTavish. The scents in this bricc tend toward lighter — specifically we’re talking pine, Scottish juniper and moss. Both soaps are available individually to subscribers for $6, and there’s a customized Call of Duty calling card included in the packaging.

With all this manly action involved, you knew there had to be a deodorant available for post-duty cleanup, right? That would be the Ghost Stick & Sarge Sticc, which includes charcoal powder, postbiotics to fight bacteria growth that can cause odors, and arrowroot powder to absorb said odors.

The moisturizers here include jojoba and shea butter. The package has been dubbed Ghost’s Destruction Deo, and it’s available for just over $20 in a separate package.

The final entry on the Call of Duty roster is the Call of Duty 4-Pack, which checks in at just under $40. It includes Ghost Grit, Ghost Sticc, Sarge Soap and Sarge Sticc, and it’s also available for US customers on Amazon.

The Covenant

Most people use these two phrases interchangeably, but they are entirely different, with different origins and focuses. So what is the difference between No-Shave November and Movember? Well, sit back and let me walk you through it so you know which one you are participating in and who exactly you are supporting when you do.

How The Beard Club Helped Me Grow a Beard
John Jones after beard growth

I was a failure … the facial hair equivalent of a 90-pound weakling. It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t grow a beard; it was more that whatever facial hair I did grow felt like a Velcroed-on Brillo pad: super uncomfortable and leaving my skin itchy and broken out. As Movember and No-Shave November came and went, I made two separate attempts at beard growth … each ending with a sprint into the bathroom when I could stand it no more, trimmer in hand, welcoming back the clean-shaven face I know so well. It wasn’t the first time I’d given up on hirsute happiness. 

When December rolled around, I decided to pay attention to an email I’d gotten for something called The Beard Club, a subscription service for beard care products. The Club’s premise was “helping first-timers as well as seasoned hirsute gentleman to up their grooming game.” I couldn’t resist and threw down the gauntlet. Could they help even me? After all, the site’s tag line is “Don’t Grow it Alone.”
