I live in the USA 🇺🇲
Got a mail call just in time to hop in on my 2nd Lather Games post before the break.
It was my first time using a boar brush and it was a nice experience. Felt like it made more sense about how much water to add than with badger. I ended up with just the right amount of a slick, refreshing Proraso lather.
Also my first time using these RK Stainless blades, I read they're a love it or hate it blade. I enjoyed them. My (novice) take is that they're a more aggressive, or maybe bigger, blade. Paired with the mildness of my 23C, it made for a nice close shave.
On to the Alt Innsbruck by 66-60. This is an instant favorite. I bought it halfway blind, based only off a dupe I sampled (PAA Al Fin). Its beauty is in its simplicity - classic, floral, light, present but gentle. I would never have chosen a fragrance like it in my 20's, partying and chasing women, but as a dad headed to church on Sunday morning, it is sound.
