Following this week's theme there's no way I could pass on The Beatles. They're one of my most favorite bands and have been a massive inspiration in good times and bad.

On the left is the Paul McCartney Freshen Up world tour shirt from when I say him at Dodgers Stadium in 2019. This was the tours last stop and was out of this world as Ringo Starr showed up to play with Paul on stage for the first time is many many years.

In the middle is the 2018 American Tour shirt I picked up at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles when I saw Ringo Starr and His All Star Band play. Side note, I ran into and shook Corey Feldman's hand at this show.

On the right is the Paul McCartney Got Back North American Tour shirt from earlier this year, 2022. I saw this outstanding performance at Sofi Stadium in Inglewood CA. I actually picked up two different shirts at this concert.

As you can see in a huge Beatles fan. Behind it all are just a couple of the vinyl albums I have of the band a their solo stuff.

For today's shave I'm finally getting to use my new stainless steel Blackbird. I decided to pair up the razor with a brand new Persona Platinum Chrome blade.

I did a three-pass shave with this amazingly engineered razor. This plus the Tabac was just pure pleasure. The post shave feel with this razor and soap combination is a 10 out of 10. As you can read, I'm highly impressed by this razor and am beyond stoked to now own one.

I finished up with the ritual staples and then splashed on some addiction inducing Tabac aftershave.

All in all I couldn't be happier with today's shave.

Enjoy your shaves gentlemen. Nowhere man out.
