I happened upon a random post that Seaforth was closing up shop, but I couldn't find any context. Grok on X did a little digging for me and found a sub reddit with the full statement from Dennis it is below. I'm super sad to hear this, but I'm so glad I was able to pick up every one of his scents over the last few years. I'm a huge fan of the vintage Seaforth brand and was really excited to see they that Spearhead was resurrected. They produced this brand for about 4.5 years after it had been dead for around 40. A guy cannot complain! Good luck to them! Hurry, it sounds like he still has some stock left.
"Sorry in advance - this will be long. Seaforth & Spearhead were essentially born on this sub. I wanted you to be the first to know that we are winding down at the end of this year. It’s hard to describe how amazing the past 6 years have been. We went from selling experimental soap bases from a crock pot to reviving an iconic American brand and making several “best of” scents along the way. It’s surreal. Life changes around us. My kids are getting older and we’re spending more time with their activities. Work demands more travel time. Volunteer opportunities are keeping us busy. The time is right. I have zero regrets. Only heartfelt thanks. There is something unique and special that happens on this sub and in the wet shaving sphere. You reward the things you value and police the things you don’t. You give grace when it’s deserved, and often when it’s not. All of this creates an ecosystem for people to innovate and experiment. It’s “American Dream” stuff for small makers like me. I can’t think of anywhere else this is possible. Thank you.
Also, I can't give enough thanks to Shawn Maher (u/hawns) for creating all of the Seaforth scents. Somehow he managed to always be on the same wavelength. It never mattered whether the vision was vague and murky or crystal clear - the end product always managed to be better than I imagined. He is a true professional and a critical link in Seaforth’s revival.
So what’s next?:
I have wrapped up the last full batches of Seaforth and I’ll sell them until they are gone (or until the end of this year). I’m out of FO for Spiced, so sadly that scent is gone. I’ll sell the remaining razor cases, combs and brushes I have through the end of the year. Beyond that, the scent for Épée is still in the works. I am working on a plan to bring this scent to life and carry on the Seaforth tradition after I am done. I hope to have some news about it later this year. I didn’t want to leave you wondering what’s happening as things start going out of stock.
Thank you all for your support over the past 6 years. I’m proud of this little idea that grew into something bigger. I can’t thank you enough for your encouragement along the way."
