Well, I had a successful shave with this Valet AutoStrop blade in my AutoStrop A1 razor today. It wasn't as sharp as a modern blade, but it did the job with no irritation. So, I will continue tomorrow. I am stropping before and after the shave. Is that soap any good? Oh, yeah, if you like cold. I keep it in my Menthol Monday rotation. It is easy to lather as you can see from the video. I do have to load it a little longer since it is a hard soap, but it should last years at this rate.

Cold Water Rinse Vintage Life Licorice Jayaruh #273 Synthetic AutoStrop A1 Valet AutoStrop (5) CWR Florida Water This is my fifth shave with the AutoStrop blade. I stropped the blade before and after the shave. My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #273 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the AutoStrop A1 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I am planning on continuing to shave with this blade next week, too. I may change to the B1 AutoStrop razor. Will see.

Now, the scent doesn't last long after the shave, but that's OK with me. Love the soap though. You have a winner there.
