You have very good taste in soap and razors @RussellR5555 !

Tanifuji MaxFli 5000 stainless, soap was Dovo-Merkur Lavender lathered with a Keyhole 4 and a splash of SMN lavanda finished up.

This is the same soap that Italian Barber used to sell rebranded as ‘King Lois Lavender’, and those of you that have trouble lathering MWF would like it I think, it’s a lanolin-containing soap that lathers easily and is Italian made.

Please don’t think I’m being purposely offensive but this razor appears to be a contradiction. I’ve always thought Frameback razors were utilitarian - so to see one in ivory scales seems strange. However, Steve, having seen just parts of your collection, it would not surprise me if you own lots of similar examples.
