Now that I have found that I like it I'll probably order another razor or two and start trying some different soaps.

We have a similar set up then mine has not arrived yet, but it should be here any day now. I got the Dovo Natural 5/8, and I also upgraded to the 3" red latigo strop. I chose to keep the unscented soap, let me know how you like the sandalwood.

The sandalwood is OK, not a real strong smell. I think I'll try some of other brands on SRD next.

Thanks I like sandalwood incense and I have used bars of sandalwood body soap before. My Razor and gear arrived today maybe I will have my first shave on Sunday.
