Blades! From Maggards, a sampling of platinum blades and some amazing Supermax Titanium blades. And some Maas.
I just went Christmas 2014 on myself and ordered: Dr. Harris Sandalwood Aftershave Labatories Osma Alum block Lucky Tiger Ointment Geo F. Trumper shaving cream (GFT) TOBS Jermyn Street cream TOBS Sandal Wood shaving cream TOBS St. James saving cream TOBS Sandalwood pre shave oil Mühle Classic Style Silver brush (size M) plus Mühle travel protection for razor and brush and 10x 5pack Astra Superior Platinum blades Phew!
Awesome...you are set! Proraso is very easy to lather, that's a nice sampler, and solid razor/brush choices!
Looks like someone did his homework... Very nice setup...you're all set to dive right in...nice haul.
Are those Merkur 23C and 34C razors there? Nice haul BTW! You're good to go for at least, a week perhaps? Lol
Didn't happen Someone with deeper pockets (not hard to accomplish)/more focused beat me with over $100. Oh well...
My homemade blade bank (Ragu jar, glue stick, black duck tape, and a Dremel). I'll probably make a fancier one day but this is working fine so far. The Crystal alum is pretty cool - easy to grip and rolls on very easy. Already have more stuff on the way. 5th DE shave today and it went so good. Razor burn and bumps are disappearing already! Getting worried about xAD's .
