This razor went backwards by stropping it on Chromium Oxide. It felt better yesterday after 100 regular strops. I only did about 40 regular strops today. I'll give it a refresh on the stones, because I know this razor has so much more to offer.

This was a great shave. The Cyril R. Salter soap is new to me as part of a recent software lot. It's tallow-based and quite hard, similar to the OG Tabac. Performance-wise I'd put this about on par with the tallow Tabac as well. Great slickness and water retention, and a nice mild lavender scent. Very good.
