    "It seems that barbershops back then also offered this service to men to cover the results of their drunken escapades from the night before, so they could look their best at their job(or looking for work) then next day.
    The "black eyes made natural" process consisted of placing a hot towel on the injured eye to reduce the swelling, then leeches would be placed around the blackened eye.
    Black Eye Specialist | Badger & Blade".

    I used to use a tad more than a dab when I wore “duck wings”. Then, I switched to “Groom and Clean” until the guys pointed out (much to my embarrassment) that the stuff turned into suds when I showered in the locker room.
