In this broadcast, a conversation with Douglas Smythe of Phoenix Shaving, a leader of the traditional wet shaving movement. Smythe created his first perfume at the age of 8. After college, he moved to Central America where he developed an after-bite-type solution that relieved the inflammation of bug bites. Eventually, his passion for male grooming and traditional shaving became the focal point of his business and Phoenix Shaving was born. Smythe is also the co-host of I'd Lather Be Shaving and organizer of The Big Shave S'west, a shave festival held annually in Chandler, Arizona. He is a lively online personality and public speaker on all things male grooming with a concentration on the art and technique of traditional shaving.

On each show, invited guests are asked to discuss a number of items that they would take with them to their Catskill Cabin getaway. As Mike and Andy discuss their chosen items, it is intended that you, the listener, will enjoy getting to know each guest a little bit better. This WGXC podcast is subscribable. An excerpt of this show airs later in the day at 6 p.m. on "All Together Now!," and then later in the week on the "WGXC Morning Show" and the "WGXC Early Morning Show." Before March 2021, the show was called "Catskill Cabin Conversations."
