Quacos (Joserra) fruity tobacco
Shave 1
I smell toasted coconut, dried cherries, and cedar, with a hint of booze. This makes a light tobacco aroma that's sweet without being overpowering, even on a sweltering afternoon. Surprisingly, Quacos doesn’t have any tallow. I thought that was in every soap by Joserra. (I guess I should have read the label a little better.) All the same, the vegetal base works very well. Today's thick, pasty lather was slick enough for a great shave.

Today was my first ride with the Alpha Spirit. I had a really thick beard after several shaveless days at the beach, so today's shave was hardly typical. That said, the shave was incredibly smooth, and I really enjoyed the razor's weight, balance, and handling. The older I get, the more I appreciate lighter weight razors, and at 62g, the Spirit is on the lighter side for stainless steel. Efficiency was harder to judge. Today's bottom line: BBS cheeks, DFS neck, zero blood. This was neither my closest nor my most meticulous shave, but time will tell, and even as it is, I'm guessing the Spirit will continue to be be an enjoyable tool.
