Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89

That's great to know. Thanks. I'm planning on getting a Vie-Long. I use badgers, boars and synthetics and really want to try a horse hair.

@eezee - How do you like the fragrance of the RPS Dragon's Blood? When I shave with DB it really fills my den!

I LOVE the scent! As a matter of fact I have a total of five different soaps from Reef Point and I like them all. Have you tried the "Admiralty?" If not you should. It is awesome!
