Introducing the All New Uppercut Deluxe Wash Range With Uppercut being in the industry for over 15 years, it still shocks them when guys come into the barbershop with nasty unwashed and uncared for hair.

  Here at Fat Buddha Store we are thrilled to welcome back one of our favorite grooming brands Triumph & Disaster . Triumph & Disaster's philosophy is to use the best of science combined with the best of nature to produce naturally derived but scientifically engineered products that work. They use local indigenous ingredients such as Horopito oil and Ponga fern extract blended with scientifically proven and natural ingredients from around the globe, such as clay from Australia, Jojoba extract from Mexico and Tamanu oil from Polynesia.

They aim to respect nature, utilise science,  create products of ritual and tools for preparation - so we can treat Triumph & Disaster , those two imposters just the same. Shop the...

One of our most popular grooming brands is Australian brand Uppercut. Born in the minds of childhood friends Luke Newman and Steve Burell. The brand takes inspiration from the classic barbershops of the 1950s and tailors it for modern grooming needs. Created out of frustration that grooming products seemed to be aimed soled at woman they wanted to create a product that men would be proud to have in their bathroom cabinet.
