Main tools (for right now anyway) Razor: 1969 Super Adj. Mug: VDH Apothecary. Soap: VDH deluxe. Brush: VDH Badger. After Shave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue.
That is a tough question to answer. Mainly due to the fact that I am constantly rotating razors, soaps and brushes daily. NOW if I had to pick just ONE of each, that would be difficult, but for the sake of forum thread discussion, I'll take a stab at it: Soap: Martin de Candre Blade: Feather Razor: Mühle R41 (2011) Brush: Lijun Silvertip badger AS: Black River Bay Rum AS Balm: Pre De Provence
Oh boy! Here I go. Muhle R41 (2013) Weber BullDog Personna Lab Semogue 740 Georgetown G12 scuttle TOBS grapefruit Dickinson witch hazel Clubman VI bay rum
Razor- Gillette Super Adjustable /Long handle Blade- Feather Pre-shave oil- homemade blend Soap- homemade-lavender eucalyptus scent Brush- any of 4 silvertip badgers Lather bowl- clear silicone mixing bowl
Just like Kevin I rotate brushes, soaps/creams/sticks, razors and blades on a daily basis. Pretty difficult to name a favourite. I guess I prefer soaps/sticks over creams. the only badger brush Iǘe got is a cheapy, so I prefer horse over badger and boar over horse. I guess I prefer my Rolls razors over any other (DE, SE, str8 and way over carts!) bowl lathering over face lathering (but not by much) tallow based soaps over glycerine based soaps old school scents over, well, modern scents wet shaving over no/dry shaving no blade preference, though Personna Lab Blue, Feather and Gillette Blue do a pretty good job! But anyway, it all comes down to a YMMV thing. You just might hate what I like and vice-versa. Besides, preferences are due to change. That's what keeps things fun!

For the most part: Razor - Lord L6 Soap - Something Sterling, currently electric sheep. Blade - Still figuring it out. Astra SP right now. Bowl - Soap is in a VDH apothecary mug and I lather in a soup bowl Aftershave - None
I have the same set up. Razor: 1968 Gillette Super Non-Adjustable Mug: VDH Apothecary Soap: VDH Luxury Brush: VDH Badger After Shave: Old Spice Classic I have to substitute my Razor for a Schick Xtreme3 does a decent job but not near the quality shave I get from my Gillette. I have had this razor since Boot Camp.
Lol. I might as well chime in on my own post. Razor - 65 Tech Head/Weber Bulldog Handle Soap - MWF Blade - Red Personna Brush - Vie-Long Horse Hair AS - Speick Balm Face Lather
I am constantly rotating razors, brushes and soaps but today will be: Razor: Gillette Red Tip Soap: KMF lime Blade: Astra SP Brush: VDH white handle AS: Master's Bay Rum Bowl: DAV soup bowl
Razor: Merkur 34 HD Brush: Omega boar of some obsolete number - smaller handle and knot. Lower half of handle pivots Blade: still learning. Current favorite - Wilkinson Sword black transitioning to face lather so no mug/bowl used AS: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
1966 Super Speed grocery store ASR generic blades VDH white handle brush Colgate Shaving Mug Soap Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
Right now: Razor - Fatboy Soap - Wool Fat Blade - Gillette Yellow Brush - Kind of a toss-up; breaking in Barbear Classico brushes - Cerda, Mistura, and Texugo AS - Pinaud Clubman Bowl - N/A - Face lathering the Classicos
Subject to change without notice: Razor: FaTip Piccolo Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger Soap: Ginger's Garden - pick a scent (partial to jasmine) Aftershave: Speick
Razor - Gillette Single Ring Blade - probably the Astra SP, but I'm really liking the Feather at the moment too Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat Brush - Omega 40033. Still new but I'm kind of a 1 brush guy I think. Pre-shave - Noxzema and a hot towel steam Post-shave - plain old drugstore witch-hazel
