A pirate wouldn't dare wash him or herself with anything but black soap...reportedly this cleanser will even remove the dreaded Black Spot! A must for all dirty fans of skulls.

Wow, a pirate-themed, black-hued, handmade soap?! Why, it's the perfect Christmas gift for my 20-year old brother!

I must say, the soap was smaller than expected. However, my younger brother reports that the soap is only just now (over two months later) running out-- but then again, college-aged men are not known for their personal hygiene.

In any case, the smell ("West Indies bay rum, scurvy-preventing limes and a dark blend of spices") is strong, earthy, masculine. And the bar is as black as night. A great gift item.

Arrrrgh!
