Spearhead Seaforth!

They are doing a soap/splash sample pair now, Heather is out now and Dennis was saying that Spiced should hopefully be up tomorrow.

That’s great. I also see that Top of the Chain has both Heather and Spice soap and splash in stock. For some strange reason they don’t show up under new arrivals or Brands but if you search for them they come up. I wonder what other “stealth” products Carmine is stocking?

I just listened to Jon LatherMonger  and Gerard's HeyGerardShaves  Lather Talk podcast episode SO2EO2 with Dennis of Spearhead Shaving Company.  It was very interesting to hear about Spearhead's creation story.  The origin of the company name is pretty cool too.  I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen (not just this episode) Jonathan and Gerard do some deep dives and bring on some very interesting guests and you get some insight you won't necessarily get elsewhere  - example being Dennis' comments regarding the help and support he received from Rod ezlovan of Stirling Soap Co.  

Another benefit of listening to this podcast was that I solved a Christmas gift issue by buying a couple of Spearhead razor travel cases and some some sample kits.  It looks great and the back story is very interesting.

Thanks Jon and Gerard.  And Dennis too 

Can any owners describe the scent of Heather?

Is it lavender & fern-ish?

Thanks!

More lavender and less fern ish imo. An EXTREMELY well composed scent.

It's very close to Penhaligon's English Fern, at least that was my impression from first use.
So, exactly what we have been waiting for.

Thanks guys. Sounds like a winner. I'll buy some!

Funny, I think its more fern/fougere than lavender - I have one of Spearhead's experimental line - Lavender and Tonka and its one of the nicest lavender scented soaps that I've experienced.

So very tempting to pick up a puck. Maybe after the holidays

I think Spearhead Shaving is one of the best new artisans of 2020. The fragrances of Seaforth Spice and Heather are both excellent and why wouldn’t they be? Both are blended by Shawn Maher of Chatillin Lux but the soap base is top tier right out of the blocks which is impressive.
