A true everyman shave that one could enjoy anytime during the last 100 years.
Honed an original valet blade. Had to try it out and for nothing more than lapping paper I'd say it okay.

The soap is a fantastic, it produced a very rich yogurt like lather in not time. It felt good on the face and very protective.
The scent is great, is complex but i love it ! I smell vanilla or patchouli and something more.
You can try one because is a great soap and it has a great scent.
Thank you, Ron.

I love WSP Gaelic Tweed, the scent is like Davidoff - Cool Water !
And this Brad Sears - MF is great !
The Razor is actually very nice. I'll need to get some feather blades to get a great shave from it. This shave was okay but I'm no expert at honing a blade.Richly colored pic, Michael. How did you like the Valet Auto Strop's performance?

First shave with the Asylum Rx and I can honestly say that it was the closest shave I ever had. But not the most confortable. Its optimal angle of use is a bit different from what I'm used to, and it doesn't give as much aural feedback as the Razorock Silverhawk, so that angle is a bit more harder to get it, but once you hit it? Bliss. The Kai Mild didn't perform very well for me with the Asylum. It tugged a bit on some areas. I'll keep using it with different creams/soaps and check if its performance changes a bit with further uses too. And get me some Feather Pro and Schick Proline to experiment with.
