Another The Deacon Shaves YouTube video.
Happy Monday everyone.

Hoffamania just went wild with a CPD of a scent, The Great Reset.
And I'm doing my 1st shave and review with the Alpha Spirit AC SE

Let's open the books on this shave:
Pre-shave - Hot Shower
Bowl - ‪@HendrixClassics‬ Gun Metal Grey
Brush and Superfecta - Brush/Superfecta - ‪@hoffmansshavingcompany1849‬ The Krait/The Great Reset
Razors- Face - ‪@alphashavingworks‬ Spirit SE / Dome ‪@headblade‬ Greeneblade Moto

From the Alpha website - About Spirit SE
Material is 316L stainless Steel - brushed and passivated. The handle is 95mm long and 11mm in diameter.. Overall weight is 62 grams/2.2 ounces
Blade gap 0.90mm. Positive exposure - depends on which AC blade you use...
From Hoffman's website- the official notes : Almond and Orange Blossom , Tobacco and Rose Oil ,Tonka Bean, Bourbon Vanilla, Amberwood and Amyris.

My Thoughts - Software : There are some of my favorites in this.
The scents come even more pronounced as the lather builds and you put it on your face. The tobacco is probably of a leaf scent then a burning, smoking scent. .Hoffman's base has a great glide feel and cushion to provide a protective surface for the Spirit to do it's thing.
There is some good residual slickness to go over spots, but no greasy feel.
The splash is the Witch Hazel version . No sting , great scent and feel and the "helps clean out pores, clear away any residues from shaving, soothe inflammation, and reduce the chances of getting razor bumps "
The EdP is no joke and The "Beard Oil" is like a scent oils bomb of a balm !! This scent is s CPD!!!

The Spirit SE - Great AC razor. It is a little light in weight but don't let that fool you. Once you get started, it does a great job. There was enough blade feel to let you know it's there but not enough to be uncomfortable.

Just about 3 passes and it was a trip to BBSTown
The ‪@headblade‬ continues to not disappoint.

My advice: The Spirit is a must for AC fans. The Great Reset is on of my favorites. Get it !
And easy head shaves , grab a ‪@headblade‬

See you on Wednesday for Italian Shave Day
Be Good To yourselves and each other !
"If shaving isn't one of the most invigorating parts of you day, then your doing it wrong"
Have a great day and smooth shaves.
