u/VisceralWatch introduced me to Eufros. I’m so happy he did. I think that the soap and balm are of very high quality.
Most of the shaves I get from straights are “excellent” these days but this shave was “good” as was the last shave in which I used a stainless straight razor. Stainless has a dubious reputation in the SR community but I think it may have to do with how the material is sharpened and not the material itself. I think I need to adjust my technique for stainless a bit. Note that almost all DE blades are stainless and they do not hinder a great shave.
