The Bayou's Whisper, a Halloween Shave
Shave of the Night
11/03/2024​

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, where Spanish moss draped the cypress trees like ghostly shrouds, and the night air hummed with the croaking of frogs and the whisper of unseen spirits, Jean-Baptiste Thibodeaux, a descendant of both Cajun trappers and Voodoo practitioners, prepared for his Halloween shave.

The humid air hung heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, a fitting backdrop for the ritual he was about to undertake. Jean-Baptiste, a man as weathered and resilient as the ancient cypress trees surrounding his shack, believed that a shave on this night, the eve of All Hallows' Eve, was more than just a grooming routine; it was a communion with the spirits, a way to honor the ancestors and seek their protection against the restless souls that roamed the bayou on this night.

He stepped into his ramshackle cabin, its walls adorned with faded images of saints and enigmatic Voodoo symbols. On a rough-hewn table, he laid out his tools: a CaYuen Workshop Diablo bowl, its deep red hue mirroring the blood of sacrifice, and a matching brush, its HMW knot as dark and mysterious as the bayou night.

The soap, "Voodoo King," emanated a potent aroma of vetiver, patchouli, and exotic spices, a scent that spoke of ancient rituals and hidden powers. He lathered the soap in the Diablo bowl, the brush swirling the concoction into a rich, frothy potion.

Then, he picked up the Henson Jet Black Aluminum razor, its sleek form a stark contrast to the rustic surroundings. Loaded with a resurrected Gillette Super Blue blade, it gleamed like a sliver of moonlight in the dimly lit shack. Jean-Baptiste paused, feeling the weight of the moment. This was no ordinary shave; it was a sacred act, a way to connect with the spirits that whispered through the cypress trees and danced in the shadows.

With a steady hand, he brought the razor to his face, the blade gliding effortlessly across his skin. As he shaved, he whispered an ancient incantation, a prayer to the ancestors for protection and guidance. The resurrected blade, imbued with the energy of past lives, felt strangely alive in his hand, a conduit between the worlds of the living and the dead.

When he finished, Jean-Baptiste splashed his face with the "Voodoo King" aftershave, its invigorating scent mingling with the humid air. He looked in the tarnished mirror, his reflection framed by the flickering candlelight. He saw not just a man, but a vessel, a link in the unbroken chain of Cajun and Voodoo tradition, a guardian of the bayou's secrets.

Stepping out of the shack, he faced the night, the whispers of the spirits swirling around him. He was ready, protected by the ancestors, his face smooth, his spirit cleansed, ready to face whatever, or whomever, the Halloween night might bring.
