So today was a test shave and a beautiful one at that.
Prep: nice early morning shower
Pre Shave: Proraso Sensitive
Strop: Castle Shave Co. English Bridle 3” wide custom strop
Brush: 24mm Yaqi synthetic
Shave Cream: B&M Lavanille
AfterShave: B&M Lavanille
Razor: pre 1830’s W.M Greaves and Sons 6/8’s wooden handle. I am using this one again because last time I didn’t get a very good shave and noticed that it was not honed correctly. For all the guys out there remember not all razors are honed the same. This particular razor has a light/medium smile to it. So the spine does not sit flat on the stone regardless of tap test. Once I managed to give this bad boy the proper edge it deserved, I got the greatest shave ever!![[Image: 4542a9023b0a3061dce6e88ad9769b89.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180503/4542a9023b0a3061dce6e88ad9769b89.jpg)

CastleShave, I think it's not made anymore. This is a few years old, I think. Still smells great. I've read that it was prohibitively expensive to make this soap. Don't know if that's accurate, but I would believe it as it smells of absolute top quality.
