    I know this will be difficult for most. If you had to pick just one razor, one blade, one brush, and one cream, what would you pick ?

    This one seems to pop up from time to time, and I'll bet I've answered something different every time. :happy097

    Let's see...one razor/blade...guess that'd be a Wade & Butcher Diamond Edge 7/8 w/barber's notch. One brush...how about a Kent BK4. One cream? Right now it's Truefitt & Hill 1805.

    Razor: Gillette NEW
    Blade: Any
    Brush: Simpson Duke 2 Best
    Cream: Don't use creams
    Soap: Lou's Cinnamon

    I'm getting close to my goal of having only one of each. In less than a month, I dropped to four razors from 25, to five brushes from 14 and to one soap from four. In the next couple of weeks I plan to get down to only one of each or perhaps I'll keep a backup razor and brush in the closet.
