Hags Artisan Shaving Products- Orbit Grove – Witch Hazel Skin Care Lotion
Orbit Grove – Discovery Among the Groves of the Unbounded Earth
In the quiet shadow of a drifting spacecraft, explorers step onto rich, unfamiliar soil. What they find is not a wasteland—but a sanctuary. Towering cypress trees, winding grapevines, and the scent of nature untouched by time. This is Orbit Grove.
Inspired by Jo Malone’s Cypress & Grapevine, Orbit Grove opens with the bold clarity of cypress—crisp and green, like a signal through deep space. As you lather, a quiet complexity unfolds: the supple green soul of grapevine entwines with moss and warm woods, evoking forgotten paths and ancient groves. Beneath it all, amber glows softly, a base note that lingers like fading starlight.
Paired with atmospheric artwork depicting cosmic travelers wandering through otherworldly forests, Orbit Grove is a shave rooted in exploration, ritual, and natural wonder.

Base – Tesseract (4,2,5)
This version of our alcohol-free based aftershave (Witch Hazel) is less sticky and has a lighter, powdery post-shave feel.
The moisturizing properties of this version have been significantly improved and feel more balanced. This formula boasts enhanced transparency, thanks to the inclusion of PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, a premium emulsifier that ensures a perfectly blended and stable solution. We’ve also infused this version with Chamomilla Recutita Flower Water, derived from the dried flowers of the chamomile plant (Chamomilla recutita). Renowned for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-calming properties, chamomile extract contains powerful bioactive compounds like chamazulene and bisabolol, which help reduce redness and irritation—making it ideal for sensitive and post-shave skin.
Additionally, the moisturizing properties of Tesseract (4,2,5) have been significantly enhanced, delivering a smoother, more balanced post-shave feel.
HAGS alcohol-free based Aftershaves (Witch Hazel) are the perfect post shave skin food. With added Sodium Hyaluronate and Allantoin (Comfrey Plant) they are easily absorbed leaving your skin feeling smooth, hydrated and silky.

What does a alcohol-free aftershave do?
An alcohol-free aftershave can be used on all skin types. The advantage of choosing an alcohol free aftershave is that it gently closes the pores, adds a lot of moisture and reduces the risk of red buds and beard plague.

The Story Behind HAGS Artisan Shaving Products
Dimitrios Charokopos: Founder & Artisan
Dimitrios Charokopos, the founder and creative force behind HAGS Artisan Shaving Products, was born in Fremont, California, USA. Later, he moved to Greece with his family, where his passions and artistic influences took shape.
From a young age, music was his primary passion. A skilled guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, he dedicated much of his early life to performing and composing music in various bands. Alongside music, he developed a deep appreciation for horror films—particularly 1980s cult classics and psychological thrillers. His fascination with the genre began at the age of five after watching Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video on MTV, sparking a lifelong interest in horror cinema and grotesque art.
Dimitrios’ artistic influences extend beyond film. His love for grotesque art—encompassing paintings, movies, music, and theater—plays a significant role in his branding and product design. Each HAGS product label reflects his unique artistic vision, blending dark aesthetics with creative storytelling.
Beyond his work in men’s grooming, Dimitrios also has a passion for craftsmanship, particularly in building handcrafted guitars and basses.
The Birth of HAGS Artisan Shaving Products
The inspiration for HAGS came unexpectedly in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. After years of sporting facial hair, Dimitrios decided to shave. However, using a commercial foam and a standard five-blade razor led to an unpleasant experience—irritation, discomfort, and an unsatisfactory shave.
Determined to find a better solution, he delved into traditional wet shaving, researching extensively and experimenting with various products. As his interest grew, he was inspired to create his own shaving soap. The journey wasn’t easy; it required extensive research, experimentation, and continuous refinement.
With a meticulous approach, Dimitrios dedicated himself to perfecting high-quality shaving formulas, ensuring they delivered both performance and skincare benefits. His relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation ultimately led to the launch of HAGS Artisan Shaving Products.
A Growing Global Presence
What started as a personal endeavor quickly evolved into a thriving brand. Today, HAGS Artisan Shaving Products is recognized in the global wet-shaving and men’s grooming markets. With a commitment to craftsmanship and quality, the brand has established a strong presence, with its products now available in over thirty specialty grooming stores worldwide.
At HAGS, every product reflects Dimitrios’ passion for artistry, tradition, and innovation—redefining men’s grooming for those who appreciate the perfect blend of performance and creativity.
