[Mark1966]

Wet day in the morning, windy in the afternoon in Vienna.

Plans changed, St Stephens Cathedral and the Butterfly Gardens -

 

[Razor Burn]

Brush: Proraso Omega
Razor: RR Mamba
Blade: Feather (6)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira's Destructible Shaving Bowl
Soap: Pb Pimento Silk sample
Post: Thayers Aloe & Lemon Witch Hazel // Proraso white balm

Another super enjoyable shave with the sample from @Pbgoose. I'm truly amazed at how easily the soap lathers with luscious, creamy goodness and pleasant scent to match. Only let down would be the mildness from the original Mamba even when paired with a Feather Overall a nice and smooth near DFS but not as close as one would like... Happy shaves!

Pre - Shower
Brush - Wild West Brushworks "Amethyst Water"
Soap - C&E West Indian Lime
Razor - Karve CB with SB/D
Blade - Gillette Vintage Spoiler
Post - Zingari Man Unscented

The lather produced from the C&E is still humming along so well that it has made me question why i waited so long to start using it regularly. A good minute on the puck and the soap just billows out and provides endless slickness when hydrated fully. I'd recommend it, but its pretty much all sold out everywhere other than the occasional BST post.

The balm is going to need some siblings at some point.

It. Is. Quality.

Early shave and then go out with my 1 year old to grab a coffee from nearby coffee shop. I loaded heavy with a lot of water and got a really slick and protective lather. No irritation at all.

We are getting a little bit of rain so far here on the GC, and a nice cool 25 degrees outside

Have a great day and Merry Christmas all!
