Nothing wrong with that, Brother. You've just described my entire collection. The proof (as they say) is in the pudding. In my experience, it doesn't matter how much I paid for it or whether it's brand new or not. What matters to me is results.

I stropped the Helje about 250 rounds on newspaper and finished it on linen and leather(50 each). It was really smooth on the skin. Thanks for the tip Robert! Although it's evening I finish with Old Spice to please the girlfriend. Cheers!

Lather: Mama Bear's Sandalwood Rose soap, GFT Rose cream, glycerin
