Arr, what a wonderful message in a bottle, Capn Eric. Thank ye indeed. Aye, it seems ye have indeed mastered the art of the Blackbeard. May fair winds always fill yer sails. -- Capn Jim C.

Thank ye indeed, Capn Greg! May yer mast and yer drink always be stiff. --Capn Jim C.

Thank ye, David. This is one of those things that unfortunately behaves differently with different people. I've been using it for over a year now and mainly what I notice is my hair thinning has slowed. My bald patch is still there but it's not growing like it was. I use a combination of Seaspray plus Kirkland minoxidil, and studies on PubMed show that the caffeine solution does increase minoxidil's effectiveness. I think it's best to think about it as another arrow in the quiver. Consider also mentioning it to your doctor as he may have some additional tricks. I've heard good things about PRP treatment for example, although it is expensive. But in any event, studies do show the caffeine spray does increase blood flow to the scalp and performs around equally with minoxidil even on its own. But not everyone will see results. Good luck and keep us posted. -- Capn Jim C

Thank ye indeed, good sir. I have two of them myself - one on my bathroom counter as an organizer, and another in my backpack so I can throw a few things into it when I need to head out for an overnight. I used to use plastic freezer bags. This is way better! Cheers, matey - Capn Jim

Arrr! We LOVE that, Cap'n Tim. But please remember to wield that power responsibly ;)

Thank ye indeed, Cap'n Gary! It was a bit of a trick to get the fragrance to just the right level where it was pleasing but not too present. We actually wound up creating our own formulation based on combining two scents available from a candlemaker because the standard soap scents were too overpowering - and then we reduced it to 1/3rd of what they recommended! I use Seasoap every day myself. A bar lasts me around 2 months. Not bad! May fair winds always fill yer sails. -- Capn Jim C

Cheers for that, Capn Steve! Arrr.

Avast Cap'n Gregg, thank ye fer the comment. Glad to hear mixing the two colors works fer ye. We've been planning to roll out a proper medium brown for a while, but unfortunately, numerous factors have prevented us from doing so. Hopefully we can make it happen in 2025. Fair seas and blue skies to ye. -- Capn Jim

Ahoy Joe, and thank ye fer yer comments. It should be lasting way more than 4 hours, good sir. While a bit of slight fading (generally around the mouth) might be noticeable after 4 hours, you should be able to get 8 hours or more. I generally wake up the next morning with 50% of color still there. Here are a few tips that may help it last longer: >> tamp down the color with a tissue. After applying, you way wish to just subtly rub/wipe with a tissue. This reduces the color intensity a bit and removes the topmost layer most likely to transfer. This also reduces the chance of rub-off. >> Dab with a tissue or napkin, After a meal, be careful not to wipe hard with your napkin. Dabbing helps ensure less product will be lost. Depending on how messy the meal is however, a quick touch-up may be required. >> Try not to play with or touch the mustache or beard, since the oils on your skin may cause the Blackbeard to fade or lose adhesion. Beware of any clothing that may come into contact as well, like a collared business shirt which can be very wearing indeed if you have 'neck beard.' >> If you notice certain areas wearing more heavily than others, just give it an extra coating of Blackbeard whenever is necessary. Hope this helps! -- Capn Jim

Aye, that's a great idea, Mark. In fact, we are working on that now and should be rolling out a 3-pack plus Seasoap bundle once our new website launches later this summer.
