I decided to bowl lather the Proraso with my Omega 49 and my smaller new bowl. I didn't use the makeshift "scuttle" setup because I wanted to get the full effect of the menthol.
Here is the picture of the bowl lather:

I wanted to make sure that I had a thick, creamy and cushiony lather for my first use of the aggressive R102 with a Feather blade. I also wanted to show you guys that I can make a thick lather when it needs to be.
Here am I, all lathered up. I gave 3 photos to encompass all angles of my face:

I have to say that the R102 was very easy for me to find the angle. However, when I was going against the grain on my neck, it was a little tricky. I think that I was a little too cautious in that area, but I found the angle quickly to continue without a problem. I did two passes and got a near BBS shave without any irritation. However, a tiny weep appeared, but disappeared without any intervention by the time my 2nd pass was completed. I have to say that I am impressed with this razor. So, I have tried Feather's in both my shavettes and in my most aggressive DE in my den. I guess you can say that I came, I saw and I conquered the feared Feather blade. Lol!
Did my normal post shave routine with a generous portion of the Proraso Green aftershave. This was truly a delightful shave. I want to thank the guys who joined me in using their Mühle razors in supporting me in my maiden shave of the Mühle R102.
Have a pleasant evening guys!
