Wald Mini A1, Wanderer, WR2 w/ Personna lab blue, Floid.

First impressions: The Wald Mini A1 belies its name. I face lather. I went back to the tub more than I would for a regular 3 pass shave with a 24mm brush. Other than that, I was pleasantly surprised at the Mini's effectiveness and comfort. I have never really warmed up to synthetic brushes. This new brush may be the one to change that. I will definitely include this in my regular rotation to see how she performs. I expect she will continue to impress!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Been a while since I last used "Sea Spice Lime" shave soap from Seaforth so I remedied that today. Great scent and excellent lather built with the Rich Yuengel "Abalone" ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the RazoRock Game Changer .68-P and I finished with the matching splash and EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
