I'm seriously curious as to who will admit that they used to take a bath in it!

Anyone here ever used Hai Karate?

Does it still exist??? I used that stuff a very long time ago! It even had self defense instructions in it. We thought that was just way cool.
The commercials were hilarious. Was I one of the few who actually liked the way it smelled?
fantastic review - and no, I NEVER WORE HAI KARATE.
Not once.
Ever.

Ever.
My dad got some as a gift one Christmas. I remember that the "regular" cologne smelled ok on him. I bought some for myself a couple of years later and thought it was putrid. I never got the courage to actually wear the junk. Funny review; thanks for the laughs.

Incidentally, that has got to be one of the most fun to read reviews ever written at B&B!

Honestly, I'm just wondering how my girlfriend knows what an Asian whorehouse smells like in the first place...
Well, being of the era ... yeah, I wore it. 
In my little town there were no Asian whorehouses, so no, it conferred no benefit to me. There were maybe one or two girls who liked it, but they liked everyone and everything ... 'cept me,of course. Just call me unlucky. Or maybe lucky.

I used it when I was around 14. I thought the girls would be all over me. It didn't work.
I had a bottle of this stuff in the '70s, at least I think I did. Those days are a little blurry.
Kudos on your review, very funny. I can't resist asking: How does your girlfriend know what an Asian whorehouse smells like??

What a blast from the past. This was the first after shave that I was introduced to (beyond the Skin Bracer that my dad occasionally wore). My freshman year in HS (1970s) was in an annex building with no showers. The guys would douse themselves in this stuff to remove (mask) any offensive odors after gym. I thought it was pretty cool and naturally, I followed. Somewhere along the line HK went out of favor and British Sterling and English Leather became popular. I actually wore English Leather for years (college and beyond). Where can you get HK now?
No, I never tried Hai Karate but I used to get a kick out of the commercials.

Yes, High School. I kept a bottle in my 62 VW.
