Martin de Candre, I Coloniali, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Tabac, Castle Forbes, D.H. Harris, Coates, Edwin Jagger, Provence Sante, Pre de Provence and Cella are in the closet. Also some of the aftershaves. They come out as part of the regular rotation. The soaps pictured in the mugs on the little shelf are Valobra, L'Occitane, Truefitt & Hill and what's left of my Lothantique Le Collectionneur.

I'm in heaven.

Regards,

Obie

Hello Tyler,
I tried stropping two razors simultaneously on five strops, but that didn't seem go all that well. So I decided one good strop was all I needed. Then again, I might buy an Illinois 127 for old time sake. Since I started straight razor shaving I don't remember the shave den being without an Illinois 127 strop. It's like walking around without your underwear.

All I have a is a cow strop and horse strop and a strip made out of saddle leather maybe one day I'll get the really good kind
