Prep - None
Strop - 3 inch bridle leather/hard felt
Razor - DD No 1 Special
Brush - Simpsons QE II Jubilee Manchurian badger
Soap - Arko pressed into a bowl
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel.

Loaded the brush in the bowl and had a great cold water face lathered shave. A welcome change from yesterdays debacle with the W&B near wedge. I hadn't used Arko in a while and appreciate it even more now after using some highly touted soaps recently. For me it gives away very little if anything to those more expensive soaps. Hope your shave was as good or better, enjoy the day.
