Seaforth! Black Watch (Spearhead) nag champa
Shave 2

Black Watch was added to the Seaforth! brand in 1953. I’ve never smelled the original version, but I don’t imagine it smelled much like today’s Black Watch. Spearhead’s modern take on this scent is sweet and very fruity with whiffs of jasmine and leather. It reminds me of nag champa, the flowery incense Mrs Bouki burns when she’s practicing yoga. I like it, but I can’t see how this would have been hit with the gray flannel men of the Eisenhower generation.

Later additions to the Seaforth! line include Sea Spice Lime (1966); Scotch Leather (1968); and Dominican Bay Rum (1968). Spearhead has already released the first. I hope they come out with versions of Scotch Leather and Bay Rum as well.

I've been skipping the Arko in my alphabetized soap rotation list, because I don't like the scent.
Tonight I thought I'd give it another chance, seeing that it's a tallow-based soap and all.
I ended up with a really close shave, with a Derby (5) in a RazoRock SLOC. I had forgotten how slick this stuff is.
So, it's back in the rotation.

(I can't decide if that guy looks more like Ray Liotta or a young Tony Curtis.)

It doesn't mean I'll buy any more when the current stick is finished. That scent is just some kind of cruel prank. ?

AOS lemon cream.
