Another The Deacon Shaves YouTube video.
It's Friday #tgif !! We made it thru the week !!
I received 2 Shave Dad branded product this week. The Razor from Alpha Shaving Work and the new shave soap and splash samples from Strike gold.

Let's open the books on this shave:
Pre-shave - Hot Shower
Brush - Erskin
Bowl - ‪@HendrixClassics‬ Gun Metal Grey
Soap/Splash - ‪@strikegoldshave‬ Shave Dad 3 Ring Circus
Razors- ‪@alphashavingworks‬ Shave Dad / Dome ‪@headblade‬ Greeneblade Moto
Cologne - ‪@BarrettFragrancesOfficial‬ Sweet Kiss

From Strike Gold : Jerry from Shave Dad and Frank from Strike Gold Shave have teamed up to create a delightful collaboration called Shave Dad's Three Ring Circus. We wanted to bring some excitement and fun into the mix, so we came up with a fragrance that captures the essence of a circus - cotton candy! This sweet and slightly zesty scent combines notes of orange, raspberry, red berries, fig, caramel, and vanilla. It's a perfect choice
for the summer season, bringing a burst of pleasure to your grooming routine.
From Alpha: The specification is very similar to the Alpha Outlaw Evolution with some changes to make the machining easier and less expensive.
Type: Double Edge Safety Razor Material: 6061 Aluminum
Blade Gap: Design blade gap is 0.70 Handle diameter: 14mm approx 9/16”
Handle Length: 90mm approx 3 1/2” Aggression: Medium aggressive daily shaver. Neutral to slight positive exposure depending on blades used. You will find that this geometry is very efficient Weight: 45g/1.5 oz

My Thoughts - SGS has a great base. The scent on this is sweet and fun with the slickness and cushion I've come to expect from Frank's products
The razor is a little more mild then the specs say (YSEMV).
But after 3 stops on the shave train I pulled into BBSTown with 1 minor nick.
One quick note, several hours after the shave, the aftershave lingered and dried down into a Baccarat 540ish scent. What an amazing surprise !!
But Barrett's Sweet Kiss did aa good job finishing
The ‪@headblade‬ continues to not disappoint.

My advice:
And easy head shaves , grab a ‪@headblade‬

See you on Monday

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 weekend and smooth shaves.
