I restored the rolls some time ago, new leather on the strop, a spare strop with chromium oxide, honed the blade with the same kind of progression of hones that I would generally use for a restored straight. Well the shave was great, like a straight on a stick.
The soap I had forgotten about, I picked it up in the summer while on holiday in France, its cheap and I found it in a small conveninece store. This is the first time I have used it with my home water, which can kill lather from some of the expensive soaps, but it was fantastic. Great lather, nice fragrance and lovely glide; true value for money!
