I had a wonderful shave with the Eagle Improved razor today. It can be used with a trimmed down Gem blade. It was a surprisingly mild yet fairly efficient razor. I didn't get the usual first use harshness that Gem blades sometimes have. The soap is a hand made Dragon's Blood scented soap a friend made me. I need to dial in the amount of water to use to get a better lather but entail testing was good. And I love the scent.

How would you describe Dragon’s blood?

Intoxicating for me. It's one of my favorite scents.
From Wikipedia "Dragon's blood is a bright red resin which is obtained from different species of a number of distinct plant genera: Croton, Dracaena, Daemonorops, Calamus rotang and Pterocarpus. The red resin has been in continuous use since ancient times as varnish, medicine, incense, and dye."
I pick up a little vanilla, some earthy spices and a bit of coco in the scent. I'm hoping I can nail down the lathering on this soap because it has great scent a d pretty good slickness.
