TLDR: We have a very small run of Seaforth! Heather alcohol splash and EDT (packaged in coozies because disposable packaging is wasteful), and a lighter scent for summer is in the works Alcohol Splash & EDT We’ve been reluctant to work with alcohol for a few reasons - Covid made it hard to get, it’s drying, and it’s a pain to ship. With the rush on hand sanitizer behind us alcohol is a little easier to get, so we’ve made a very limited run of alcohol-based splash and EDT. The splash is a hybrid alcohol/witch hazel tonic with aloe and...

TLDR: Black Friday through Cyber Monday enjoy 20% off site wide plus a FREE Shave Notes journal with any purchase.  Promo Code BLACKFRIDAY Wow, what a rollercoaster of a year!  Nobody needs to be reminded of all the twists and turns we've seen in the last 12 months.  Some have been pretty challenging, but a handful have been very nice (like being able to spend more time with family). As Thanksgiving rolls around, one thing I am very thankful for is the unexpected path that Spearhead Shaving Company took in 2020.  A year ago today I didn't have any plans...

In 1939 Alfred McKelvy influenced a generation of wet shavers with his iconic Seaforth! brand of shaving soap and aftershave.  Seaforth! featured great scents, unique packaging, an energetic spirit, and catchy phrases like “Spiced Light...Spiced Right!” I’m excited to announce the rebirth of Seaforth! on October 1, 2020 with the release of Seaforth! Heather and Seaforth! Spiced.  Both scents will be available in shaving soap and alcohol-free aftershave toner.   Seaforth! draws inspiration from McKelvy’s original brand with modern takes on the original products.  Our scents were developed by award-winning perfumer Shawn Maher of Chatillon Lux and Maher Olfactive.  The vision...

TLDR:  I'm excited to launch the first longer-run soap Spearhead Shaving Company: Oakmoss & Sandalwood.  This is phase 2 of a 3-phase soapmaking project (details below).  Thanks for all of your support with this project so far! When I started Spearhead Shaving Company a year ago I set a goal for myself - to accomplish something I'm proud of each quarter.  It wasn't exactly a "moonshot" and my goal was intentionally vague.  But it was my effort to hold myself accountable and accomplish something creative outside of my daily job. I already knew my first quarterly objective.  I was working on developing...

20.1C: Citrus, Amber & Musk Formula 20.1C: This formula has proven to be a winner in lather quality, slickness and post shave.  It performs as well, if not better, than the 17.x but is easier to lather and far less thirsty.    This soap is heavily scented relative to some of my previous batches.  Sweet orange, grapefruit and pineapple are front and center.  Amber, nutmeg, musk and vanilla give some warmth and depth to the scent.   Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Water, Tallow, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Castor Oil, Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide, Murumuru Butter, Xylitol, Lanolin, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Agave Tequilana Leaf Extract Fragrance:  Citrus, Amber...
