Thanks @Razor Burn , I'd forgotten about Robaiba Blue so I found some in the stash this morning and very glad I did. Was enjoying the mildly mentholated Rosemary, Basil, Black Pepper and Copaiba.

G'day @Nico - how are you finding the portable shave bowl?[/QUOTE

Hi @TomG ,
Mate this portable shave bowl has exceeded my expectations. It collapses flat for easy storage in my travel kit. The agitation (technical term, bumpy bits :LOL:) base makes it easy to whip up a lather.

This shave was so great! The universe aligned and 2 days growth gone in 2 passes. Karve D with a vintage spoiler on maybe it’s 3rd use.

Brush by Derek @ Wild West Brushworks. Quite sad that each time I go to his shop he has the closed indefinitely message as I’m always keen to try to snap a brother or sister for the amethyst water handle...

No question that this balm is the best I have ever used. I’d me mightily impressed if there’s something better!
 
Well so far Operation White Christmas seems to be Operation WET Christmas - I blame our favourite Austrian, @alfredus

Oh well, we did see some nice gardens from the Upper Belvedere, where my wife saw "The Kiss" -
