I had had another go at a Valet razor Today with a new blade. (And a few day to get over the beating it gave me on Sunday)
A few drops of 3in1 oil on the strop and about six runs each side of the blade.
For those not familiar with the Valet strop see pic.
Its small and thin so if you mess the stropping action up the blade will cut right throw! (these little strops are getting harder to come by)
Great Close shave second pass to touch up only.
I Used my flash Aftershave to celebrate.
Cheers all.

Undecided about this brush. Like the idea of mixed boar and badger and is excellent for face lathering but feels a bit like a toy brush in my average sized hands. Really impressed with its lathering though, of what I think is an excellent (and pretty cheap considering its performance) soap.

I’m constantly evaluating my soaps in order of rank. It doesn’t really matter though, as most of my favourites are mass produced products that have reformulated to non tallow. Haslinger tallow is one such, and is outstanding. Excellent cushion, slickness and glide. I wish that I had more than one in reserve.
