I like GTB too. It's a little spicy to my skin, but that doesn't stop me. And now that you mention it, I realize I forgot to put that one in the pile 😩

No worries, sometimes it's hard to remember how many soaps of a particular genre you've got 😉
Btw I thought I'd try to help with finding a manufacturing date for your straight razor in some german resources, but no luck. One archived german eBay listing had a 5/8 Wüsthof as "made between 1960-70" but such seller's are a unreliable source for that.

Hey thanks for trying! I ended up getting help from a gentleman over on SRP for dating. Between 1925 - 1932!

No problem. Figured since some sources might be german-speaking only, I'd give it a try. That's a very precise dating you obtained there though!
