Prep - None
Strop - 3 inch bridle leather/hard felt
Razor - Vintage Schulze stainless 6/8
Brush - Simpsons QE II Jubilee Manchurian badger
Soap - Williams stick
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel

Very close and clean cold water face lathered shave. The much maligned Williams soap did not hinder getting an excellent shave one bit. One application of the stick provided more than enough good lather for 3 passes and a touch up with lots left in the brush to be rinsed off. I think I will give up trying to find a truly awful soap/cream that just will not perform after having tried 14 different one to date. Enjoy your hump day relief with the weekend is in sight.
