Desert Island SetUp

Nothing earthshattering here.
Just wondering what your favorite
RAZOR and BLADE
combo is.




Mine currently is:
1950-ish Gillette SuperSpeed and a Feather blade

 

I would say Futur + Red Personna

 

(in the voice of Maxwell Smart): Ah yes, the old desert island set-up routine.

23c + IP

(in the voice of Maxwell Smart):

Would you believe '56 Gillette SS with red-tip + Derby?

 

Slant with Swedish Gillette or one of my better straights, whichever is wielded by Mrs. Shlongini.

 

Fatboy w/ Derby blade

 

Im gonna be the boring one..

Merkur HD with Derby.. Nothing fancy..

 

Please reference my signature.

 

TI Pierre Thiers hand Forged is the obvious choice, but if I had to take a DE it would be the Wilkinson Sticky with an Israeli blade.

 

.....but your signature changes every 90 minutes or so ! :rofl


So76:
Yeah.
Maybe I should have been a bit more specific and said

"DE Razor and Blade"

 

Well, when someone asks this again in about 60 days it will still be relevant won't it?

 

Why I oughtta !!
.....I havent shipped your coffee yet. You better play nicey nicey

 

DE
Gillette Slim Adjustable with Swedish Gillette blade

Straight
Wostenholm "Peerless" 5/8 spike point

 

I gotta get me some of them Swedish Gillettes......

 

I would have voted this exact thing, up until I tried new blades. My blade collection is about to get completely revamped

 

What blade(s) are striking your fancy now?

I've got an order placed for the large sampler pack from Giovanni (shipped today, as a matter of fact), so while I can't imagine anything shaving better than a Derby, I'll have a chance to find out! Giovanni definitely has a LOT of blade from which to select...

 

See THIS

 

Yep.. saw that after I posted.

Treet Platinum, eh? I got some of those on the way... will have to give those a go first thing!!
