Strop: Ambrose Crazy Thick Monster Strop (2 1/2 inches)
Razor: 5/8 Red Point
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Institute Karite

Wonderful haircut tonight.
Clauss 5/8" Coronation 1902
TGQ sandalwood vanilla
TGQ aftershave sample
This razor is my ugly duckling. One of the first razors I ever owned, it had a chipped edge and I wasn't originally fond of those scales. Only reason I bothered keeping it was because of the coronation etching. Since it was a practice razor, I breadknifed the chip out and honed it myself. Now it's probably the best head shaver I have (I separate my razors by whether I use them on my head or my face) and it cleaned up pretty well to boot.
Wife got me the Conk mug and the background liquor bottles for my birthday last month. I bought some TGQ soaps for the mug and decided to try out the aftershave, and boy is that stuff great!
