As usual I'm a late adopter, but just acquired an Edwin Jagger de89 barley razor, brush & chose the wool fat soap. Working through a sample pack of blades and feathers are on my list of those I want to try. I really like this soap.
Weird, started on an electric, used disposables for awhile, have used a Gillette Sensor off and on through the years (perhaps one of the best shaves a multi balde razor ever produced) and back to electrics. I actually find using the brush/soap/safery razor both relaxing and enjoyable.
