I've had good luck with Lab Blues, the Israeli Peronnas, Voskhods and the various Rapira blades. Lately I've been using more of the Lab Blues because I still have a lot of them and running low on Russian blades.
Razor: Portland Razor Co Chimera Strop: Drygulch 45 Brush Handle: 30DC LE Knot: APShaveCo Cashmere Soap: Chiseled Face Civet Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel Alum Osage Rub Aftershave: Stirling Unscented Fragrance: Zoologist Civet Wow! What a fantastic shave I had this morning. I love everything about this soap; the scent is amazing, kind of a spicy floral, it's very slick once the water is dialed in (slightly thirsty) and has a great post shave feel. The 30DC brush did a great job lathering up this incredible soap and the Chimera slid through a couple days of growth. Have a great day folks!

1931-32 silver Wardonia with modified Astra blade did a great job on my beard. Very aggressive but easily manageable. Too much blade chatter to go ATG on my head, the Blue Star equipped 1912 finished the head shave (and reaffirmed my preference for the carbons). Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
That is the best place to go. I recommend getting a blade in one soonest. You are missing out. I will wait on pics to see whatchagot!

This is some amazing shave soap. Some say it is over price, but I would call it good value. Beautiful bowl and over 6 ounces of soap.
Thanks. I find it works very well with the Tabac soap and is a great pairing. I wanted to get something from Germany and did not have the time to hunt down something more unique. I did not really want another soap anyways and already have a number of razors on the list to try/purchase including a Charcoal head to match the Tritium handle I just purchased, so I kept it simple and with the classics. I really enjoy 4711. Steve
Thank you for the kind words. I really like Mayflower and especially the cooling AS. I must say, this is one sample that I would like to get the full product for. Very enjoyable. Steve
Today's shave was with a German NOS razor, I rarely use. It takes a wickedly sharp edge, and provided a 2 pass BBS shave. No Nicks, Cuts, or Weepers. Razor- J.A.Henckels, Friodur 451 Brush- Zenith Boar Soap- Stirling Glastonbury Aftershave- Florida Water
