Thanked: 11 First shave with new Wapi
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn “Pure Badger”
Soap: Vintage Blades Triple-Milled Proprietary Soap
Strop: 3" Red Latigo. Started on canvas and moved up, as this razor was New Old Stock and I figured it needed a bit more than the usual touch-up.
Razor: 5/8 Wapi SFK "Rassiermesser Mit Metallschalen"
After Shave: L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm
Cologne: Carolina Herrera 212 Men
Result: Shockingly good. This shave was easier and more pleasant than my Dovo has ever been. Only needed two passes and touch-ups rather than 3 or 4. Balm worked nicely, mostly because the razor didn't cut me up at all. The VB soap was nice; no Pen's or TOBS, but solid and absolutely sufficient.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
