Mojo Barbershop debuts manly 'Scrub It Kook' soaps

Men, today, we urge you to do your civic duty.
Sure, you need to vote. But after that, it's time to focus on a more pressing issue: reclaiming your bathroom.
Which, thanks to your significant other, is currently filled with candy-colored bottles that make you smell, well, kind of fruity.
Man up with Mojo Barbershop's Scrub It Kook soaps, a brand-new collaboration between the Chinatown barbershop and North Shore Soap Factory, available now.
Make no mistake, these bars practically ooze testosterone. The name: a tribute to the '80s cult classic, North Shore. The packaging: handsome and unfussy with a slightly vintage feel. The scents: reminiscent of Mojo Barbershop's signature services.
Say you like having a beer with your haircut (and really, who doesn't?). Pick up Kukui Homebrew, which is made with actual Guinness Stout. If you enjoy a hot, aromatic towel before your shave, opt for Eucalyptus/Mint. Or, simply join the brotherhood and go with the customer favorite, Sandalwood.
The soaps work up a decent lather, rinse clean and, in a pinch, can double as shaving cream with all-natural, skin soothing ingredients. Plus, their strapping black and tan colors toughen up any shower or sink.
For a bathroom that's fit for a king.
Bar none.
$5.50 each or 3 for $15, available at Mojo Barbershop, 1157 Bethel St.
