It is hard to resist a naked lady riding a dragon. What is that soap?

A&E's new base/scent kaizen. A fantastic performer as well as an interesting label. The aftershave is good stuff too.
Thank You IanThat is a fantastic everyday razor mate

Yesterdays shave
Razor - I was trying two razors I finished honing. So half of my face was the ABC razor. I'm almost done restoring it. The scales are wet sanded to 10k and without any polish they are like glass. Pictures really do not do this razor justice. The other half was a Mansalu. both razors were just ok. Not sure if it was the razor or if I do not have the lather right with this soap.
Strop - bakersfield barber supply strop. This is one of my favorite strops as it is from the city I was raised and still live in. It's cool to have this piece of the cities history.
Brush - @Graydog zebra wood with 24mm horsehair knot from Shave Forge. Good knot. Doesn't have a lot of backbone so used a hair rubber band to support it. Now it's a great brush.
Soap/aftershave - Blackship Grooming Captains Pipe soap and aftershave. Second time using this soap. I may just need to work with it to get it dialed in.

My finest hollow ground the blade easily flexes at the edge. Great shave.

This is a painful reminder that I lost a NOS radium like this one some years ago. I stupidly tried to bargain it down, when the price was not even that expensive.Fontenille “Radium 80” - 13/16
The radium was voted the best razor in the world at a world fair, and I am not one to disagree...
