"Well, well, well! What have we here?" - Oogie Boogie

What can I say? I'm a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas. So when you absotutely posolutely have to wear some T.N.B.C. gear, you gotta go with the Vans brand.

As Halloween approaches I have to be even more vigilant then ever. Being a member of the Black Watch means I needs to be strong and keep my eyes open for nefarious figures (or whiskers).

My weapon of choice today was the ever so reliable Blackland Era. Seeing as it's Open Comb October, I went with the open comb level 5 base plate. This is a highly efficient, blade forward feeling base plate. Personally, I love it as it always produces a high quality shave.

I lathered up with my trusty Vikings Blade White Knight and my local artisan bowl. I then proceeded to do a three-pass shave including some against the grain buffing. The Treet Classic blade continued to impress. I thought it may not be up to the challenge but it seems it is a worthy blade to battle with.

I finished up with the staples and some beautiful Black Watch aftershave. But beware the spooksters are coming!
