Another The Deacon Shaves YouTube video.
Happy Monday everyone.

I have been wanting to review this offering from Hendrix for a week or so and all the pieces have finally come together . So , our software for today is American Badass. No, not the Undertaker from WWE. Pete is using as the inspiration, Bass Reeves, he was a runaway slave, gunfighter, farmer, scout, tracker, railroad agent and deputy U.S. Marshal. He spoke and understood the five civilized tribal languages. Bass was one of the first African-American Deputy U.S. Marshals west of the Mississippi River, mostly working in the deadly Indian Territory. The region was saturated with horse thieves, cattle rustlers, gunslingers, bandits, bootleggers, swindlers, and murderers. Reeves made more than 3,000 to 4,000 arrests in his lifetime, killing twenty men in the line of duty.

From HC&C website: "Choosing a fragrance to honor a man who achieved so much is no easy task. We settled on an inspiration
of Acqua di Parma’s Colonia Oud, a truly masculine, Oud forward fragrance that perfectly epitomizes badassery. "
Colonia Oud was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is François Demachy. Top notes are Calabrian bergamot and Italian Orange;
middle notes are Agarwood (Oud), Amyris and Coriander;
base notes are Leather, Atlas Cedar, Sandalwood, Musk and Indonesian Patchouli Leaf.

Let's open the books on this shave:
Pre-shave - Hot Shower
Bowl - ‪@HendrixClassics‬ Gun Metal Grey
Brush - @frankshaving
Razors- Face - ‪@onebladeshave‬ Hybrid / Dome ‪@headblade‬ Greeneblade
Trifecta - ‪@HendrixClassics‬ American Badass

My Thoughts - I have had the privilege to sample the original Colonia Oud and a few other homages, This is the closest I have come across.
HC&C's base is always outstanding with plenty of cushion and slickness. But , this scent... a true to banger !!
2 passes with the OneBlade and a little touch-up and it was a trip to BBSTown.
The ‪@headblade‬ continues to not disappoint.

My advice: If you want to smell like a badass, and be the ultimate in badassery, then get some American Badass.
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.
