New Seaforth! Shave Soap by Spearhead Shave Co

[gdawg55]

Well, I've used both my samples now....Heather and Spiced. I definitely prefer the Spiced scent to the Heather. Heather reminds me too much of Fine America Blend which I don't like. I'm not sure what's going on, but with both soaps my lather was a bit thin. I didn't use a lot of water (at least I don't think I did) and the lather looked good in my bowl, but went on thin. Is this normal with these soaps? It could be I didn't scoop enough product out of the sample container, but it looked like an ample amount (nickel size). Performance was ok even with the thin lather. Not super slick, but works.

I'm used to PAA which lathers up like nobody's business and is the slickest stuff I used. The Seaforth was not even close. I have enough product for several shaves so I'll play around with it a bit more. I do like the Spiced scent and hope I can get it to perform better.

More soap is the answer but the lather is not going to be that dense pasty lather that PAA soaps make. I have 2 of the CK-6 formulas. This is a more high structure lather, it feels lighter and silky and stands taller on your face, more like canned foam.

Ok....good to know. I could tell as I was swirling my brush around that it was a different kind of lather compared to the CK-6... but was surprised by the thinness as it went on my face. I'll keep at it....appreciate your input.

I'd put a 20 on your not having used enough product. Seaforth! samples are much smaller than Maggard and Shavedash samples. I only got 3 shaves out of mine.

Thank you....I most likely didn't use enough. I'd guess with the amount I used I could get about 4 or 5 shaves out of the sample. I'll scoop out more next shave.

Here's how I used mine, no joke:

I am so stinkin'cheap!
I took a damp brush, squeezed the tip and rubbed it on the TINY sample of Heather that @MyOldKentuckyHome so graciously gave to me.

I then rubbed it on my damp face and it EXPLODED with the best lather I have EVER used. (I know, I love Arko, so my judgement is questionable!)

Love the scent.

I have enough shaving stuff to supply half of the Newbs here for a month, and this product is the ONLY one I'm tempted to fight with my lovely War Department over buying.

Today was my first time with any Seaforth soap. I recently emailed owner Dennis Spearhead to see if I could pick up a Sea Spice Lime tub in Dayton, Ohio as we drove from St. Louis to Washington DC. Received a warm reply that there is no retail storefront, so Pasteur’s it was.

Seaforth Sea Spice Lime is a top-tier soap. Just a few swirls of the damp Zenith boar yielded a rich, dense lather. It’s scent, a combination of lime, botanicals, and fresh bay oysters, took me back to relaxing sunsets viewed from a favorite Morro Bay oyster bar. The Rockwell gave feedback, yet the cushion of slipperiness gave a non-casualty shave. The bergamot of the PdP balm paired extremely well.

Seaforth Sea Spice Lime is a lovely soap. It’s gentle cooling and citrus note lends itself to warm weather shaving. A keeper, and easily will be among my favorite soaps.

Don’t forget, there is also a bath soap available!

Sea Spiced Lime is a favorite of mine. I have the soap, Aftershave, and Eau de Toillette. Its nice, slightly salty with tons of floral botanicals.

In my hard water I find I actually prefer it to Ck6 formula. In fact Ck6 dropped several spots below it prior position in my den. It was at the top, so the only way to go was down but I was very surprised at my perceived difference in it's performance in the harder water at my new place.

Anyone manage to grab one of these before they sold out? Got an email Saturday, saw it this afternoon and they are already sold out.

 

[poppi]

I was tempted but I have so much soap now I am probably set for years.

Can you ever have enough soap?

 

[FarmerTan]

Can you ever have enough soap?

This is an easy one to answer: "No!"

I sure hope they release another set of those shave mugs. I like both colors.

I got an email from Seaforth and went to the site it was sold out. What a gyp.

I hope he planned for this and has more mugs and just needs to make another batch of soap.

 

[Ad Astra]

That mug is uber-classic. Originals usually have paint problems ...

Count me in when in stock!

Funny, I was literally just now checking the page to see if he posted any updated info. Nope.
