The Strop Shoppe was among the very first of the premium shaving soap artisans to appear. Their packaging has changed over time, and the soaps still are among the best I have. This is an early edition: a Lemon Eucalyptus that has a fine fragrance and a superb lather, worked up this morning with the Plisson synthetic brush shown.
The Baby Smooth will no longer be produced, which is a great shame. It is among the very top tier of razors I’ve tried: extremely comfortable, no inclination at all to nick, and highly efficient. As is usual with this razor, I got a BBS result. If you ever see one on the secondhand market, I highly recommend it.
Three passes, then a splash of Floris JF, and we are getting near the end of the first week of the new year.
