The soap is creamy and slick with a light, pleasant scent whipped up brilliantly by the plush feeling brush...nice!!
This razor has a LaLune edge but was not satisfied with the sharpness, so put it through the full diamond pasted balsa progression followed by stroping on the Kangaroo leather....and wow! Not only was it soft and smooth but definitely had a crispier keen edge. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...nice!!

That soap/AS combo is a really nice set - I love the nod to old school!

Hello Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Later post than normal today and for the next two days. Attending a retirement seminar. Will hopefully be able to retire in the next four years. Great shave to start the day though. Went with Phoenix Shaving's "Champagne". Great scent and lather for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Psycho Tech, finishing with the matching splash and a spray of YSL "Rive Gauche".

Hope you have a great day. :)
