    After much deliberation, the only thing I could settle on is the book... my Bible.

    The book is the most important. If I'm really by myself, grooming might seem more and more pointless, but I'd still need something to alleviate the boredom. I have to assume that one book means one volume, no bringing a multi-volume work like an encyclopedia. So I'd go with entertainment rather than instruction, and say my one volume complete stories of O. Henry.

    Oh the shaving stuff?
    L2 Injector. I'm changing that from G1 Injector because my L2 is barely used and might prove more durable.
    Schick injector blades
    Tweezerman brush
    Let's say Proraso cream, although there would be other choices that would be fine.

    By the way, I face lather, but I bet you could make a pretty good shaving bowl from half a coconut shell.

    I would pick the following:
    Muhle R89 razor.
    Iridium super blades. They are sharp and last more than the average blades.
    Cella! Not the red tub! The 1 Kilo block worth of Cella :cool:
    A brush(although a squirrel's tail makes for a decent brush)
    ... and the other half of the coconut that Slivovitz just broke :happy088.

    My Goodies I'd Bring...

    Razor: 3 Piece Gillette Tech Aluminum Handle Manufactured In USA
    Distribution In Mexico.

    Blade: American Made Personna.

    Cream: Personnel Care Sensitive Skin Shave Cream With The Free
    Extra 25% Foam.

    Brush: Simple VDH Boar Brush.

    Book: Tao Te Ching.

    I bet I am the only one here that uses foam in a can but you would surprised how well it works when you use a brush and use the foam as a facial preparation (rub in 2 layers into face before applying with brush with all the water the brush can take).
     
  7. Razor: slim adjustable
    Blade: Red Personna
    Soap: Permafrost if its a tropical Island
    Brush: My Plisson
    Book: River of Doubt

    I would switch my razor from the henckels I wrote originally to my grelots.

    Other than that I would keep things the same.

    Razor: EJ DE89L, only need to shave every 2 days!
    Blade: Kai, stainless + sharp = fish gutter!
    Soap: Valobra shave stick, just because it smells like something from a ship-wreck..
    Brush: Simpson D2, it would be my "Wilson".
    AS: Ivy Club, that way when I cut myself I have something to disinfect it with...
    Book: T.V. Guide, I would rather be fantasizing over old T.V. shows rather than pondering the meaning of life or praying if I were stuck on a deserted island...

    Sure, I'll update. Good idea on writing down SOTDs for your return.





    I want to change the razor to the Merkur sledgehammer slant and keep the rest the same.
