This big Duck give a great shave. The edge is superb. The La Toja lathers up very well and has nice glide. Could use a bit more scent IMHO.

Prep: Hot Shower & OBR Soap / oil rub WD 24mm Silvertip Challenge Razor Works 6/8 Barbers Notch Balsa CrOx 40 / Felt Diamond Spray 40 / Leather 100 Razorock XXX Ali Biliyki Alum Block rub Lucky Tiger Splash English Leather
Excellent shave. This is my first attempt with a Balsa paddle strop with CrOx and a felt paddle strop with diamond spray. Impressive results. Last shave with this razor was good, but I felt it could have been smoother. My new paddles did the trick wonderfully. The Razorock is new, and first shave with it. It competes with the TOBS or the Tabac easily for smoothness. The scent was excellent and the lather took quickly and lasted well.
Happy Shaves All!!
