Soap: Cella, Arko and Col. Conk Lime (many samples hopefully in transit)
Razor: Micro Touch 1 (MR8 hopefully in transit)
Location: Beautiful Ozark Mountains of Missouri

Why I would like to try the Aristocrat: I have been cartridge shaving for years. When I expressed an interest in trying DE shaving, my wife went and bought me a Micro Touch 1 as a gift. While the MT1 seems nice enough, I can't help but think there are razors out there that are much nicer. Therefore, I have made an order with Maggards for the MR8 and some other supplies to try out. Since I have been doing a lot of reading in these forums, I have also decided that I need to try some vintage razors as well... all in the hopes of finding the best shave I can get.

Of course... IM IN!
