Favorite Music Week / Tabactober / OCtober

Prep: P.A.A. Cube 2.0

Razor: P.A.A. Ascension SELECT Twist
Blade: Gillette Minora Platinum

Soap: Tabac (tallow)
Brush: Vikings Blade White Knight

Post 1: P.A.A. Alum No-Slip Grip System w/Dry Dock System
Post 2: Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent w/ Menthol & Eucalyptus
Aftershave: Tabac

For my last shave of the (Favorite Music) week I pulled out a few more albums from my most favorite bands to go along with my earlier Metallic and The Beatles posts.

Today's shave included Tabac for Tabactober and my newly acquired P.A.A. Ascension SELECT Twist for Open Comb October.

This is an interesting razor to say the least. You can tightening or loosen the handle to function as an adjustable razor. Being my first use it took me a little time to get it dialed into where I like it, with some blade feel.

Once I got things set I did a three-pass shave. The Tabac was fantastic with its cushioning and scent. All things said, another bbs shave was had.

Much love to Tom Petty R.I.P, Van Halen, The Cars, R.I.P Rick Ocasek and The Killers.

Rock on gentlemen and enjoy your shaves!

Favorite Music Week

Prep: P.A.A. Cube 2.0 (face wash)

Razor: Alpha Shaving Works Bandit w/ safety bar (has lather drains) base plate (prototype)
Blade Gillette Nacet Stainless

Soap: Barrister & Mann Four Horsemen War
Brush: Yaqi Purple Haze (synthetic)
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Post 1: P.A.A. Alum w/ No-Slip Grip System w/ Dry Dock System
Post 2: Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent w/ Menthol & Eucalyptus
Aftershave 1: Proraso
Aftershave 2: Aqua Velva Ice Sport
Post 5: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry w/ Hyaluronic Acid

I went to "War" today and survived.... just barely.

This was an interesting shave. One I'm not sure I've ever had. I usually take my sweet time because I love basking in the scent of my shaving soaps and honestly don't want my shaving time to end. For me, doing a four-pass shave is a great time and overall time well spent. Not today! I did a quick three-pass shave. I mean quick.

Ever make home made tacos? You know those taco seasoning packets you mix with your ground meat? That's what War smells like, but with some cilantro on top as a garnish.

I stitched back to my tried and true Nacets with the Alpha Bandit and what do you know? No cuts and only one small weeper. I guess those Minora blades at sharper or something. Either way I'm more than happy with the cut I get from the Nacets so...

The more time I spent with the Bandit the more I get the feeling it could very well be the razor Vikings use, or dare I say, Thor might use. It really is a finely tuned tool but one that exudes a sense of masculinity. This isn't your son's razor.

As my quick shave came to an end I had to use TWO different aftershaves to try and cover the scent of the soap up and it still didn't work. I first used Proraso then after five minutes or so threw on some Aqua Velva Ice Sport.

I'm a very open-minded person. I mean very open-minded. With that said, this soap just doesn't work for me on any accord. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest of this soap as I don't think I'll ever use it again. This soap performs well but the scent is a no-go.

That's all for me now... Shave on gentlemen.

Hey, you guessed my ring tone! This is the song I listen to every time I need to get up on stage and give a lecture or training. I do need to watch the road, because my right foot has a tendency to plank it when this is on!

Cheers,

Guido

Level 3 plate better for me than level 4 on the Era, and I have a pretty thick beard. Big difference for me… more comfortable. Razor is super smooth but gives really nice feedback.

I love this soap's strong scent, especially with the matching balm. The lather was as good too...
Some of my best shaves are from these vintage adjustable razors and today was no exception. Razor paired with the blade+shim was smooth, comfortable, and crisply efficient at the max setting resulting in a bbs finish...
