Maca root,
Omega pura setola,
Frederick Reynolds 6/8 near wedge,
Thayers unscented witch hazel,
L' adventure sample,

I received the FR on Thursday,I gave it a light hone to bring it up to shave ready, it may or may have not needed it, I seem to like razors with a bit of heft, and this one didn't disappoint, only need my face to stop looking like a baboons arse, after using the maca root, apart from that it's such a great soap.
