Soap: Castle Forbes Lime
Scuttle: Simple soup bowl
Strop: Kanayama 20 canvas strokes and 60+ strokes on the leather

Notes:
The widest blade I have, the 8/8 Fili sings loudly and thereby gives beautiful feedback!
Castle Forbes took care of some sound damping.
Very comfortable BBS result.

Prep - None
Strop - 3 Inch bridal leather/hard felt
Razor - W&B pre 1891 wedgie type thingy/stropped previous night
Brush - Omega 10066 Boar
Soap - MWF/cold water face lathered
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel

Been trying for months to get a edge that will give a decent shave on this thing. It got a passing mark this morning after biting me yesterday. With a 1/4 inch/12 mm thick spine you really need a bigger gap between skin and spine than I am used too. Anyway it was an experience but I am not too sold on W&B wedgie type thingies. Have a good day.
