Okay I used a brand new (to me) puma from holi4pirating. I ran it over some CrOx then CeOx just to make it mine, it did not need it but I cannot shave with a razor without putting something into it. It was what I consider NOS though it does have some water stains and light pitting along with a little bit of red rust on the back, hopefully I will address this in the future. Any way this was my set up:
strop: illonois linen, SRP webbed fabric, illonios russian leather, SRP Premium IV
Pre-shave: hot towel with several reapplications,... 'The Bomb' Calypso pre shave oil
Shave: 'The bomb" Calypso shaving cream, Thater brush, random antique store mug(10 cents), High Class Puma with faux (sounds better than fake) tourtise shell scales.
Post shave: sample 'The bomb' calypso ASB, followed by Ogallgha bay rum after shave.
I do not know if it was the razr or what but i seriously think this may have been the closest shave I have ever had. big thanks to Dylan and Puma for making it possible along with Al's "the Bomb."
Please forgive the picture quality they were taking with an iphone and a flashlight :). eventually I will get a camera up and running.

nice Livi with "traditional" lines.
