Hey Joe,
Believe me, I don't have a lot of them. My modest collection is just that modest, but a good # of them are vintage, which is what I prefer.

Michael,
Your collection of straights is starting to grow into a nice armament of pristine blades. Congrats

A great shave today. Took the Henk out today but before I did refreshed it with Crox on my leather strop, then 40/60 on my premium 4. She did not disappoint . The Provence Sante was yet another soap I had recently purchased, and it is a great soap.
Well done Matt...So, you're also a leather/CrOx kinda guy, eh? +1 on Provence Santé. Good stuff

Paul,
Actually, there are two creme versions: (1) older formulation in the tube (the one you have) and (2) the newer formulation in the tub. #2 is the better variety. They have significantly improved performance (that's the one you want). I think the soap is OK, not as good as the creme in the tub though. I like it mainly for it's wooden bowl and for ubering. Once you find the sweet spot with the soap/creme, it is an amazing combo. Soap w/ Bowl is not worth the price tag though. If you PM me your address, I will send you some sample of the new formulation creme...alternatively, this thing is pretty cheap to get at $20 a tub. Amazon has it here.
