It all depends on what I currently had at the moment, I would want to try more new creams, soaps. Trumpers, Tobs, arko, Godrej, Vallobra, P160, MWF. Some aftershaves, and maybe a new brush or two. $200 buys alot of nice items.
I think that I would finally try a badger brush to start, maybe a Rooney 1/1 or a 1/2......or maybe I would dive into the straight world and see what that was about, some beautiful razors......or, maybe some Santa Maria Novella AS. The possibilities are endless. I only wish......Oh well, have fun!
i think i would get a sharpening stone. im happy with my creams and soaps. happy with my badger brush. happy with my razors especially the Iwasaki. that razor is like....godly to say the least. maybe a strop too. though the $200 would only cover a good stone.
None right now - I'd convert it to Euros and wait for the dollar to get even lower so the stuff gets even cheaper
I would get me a nice Feather straight.. and some blades.. I just found a straight that works for me - the Feather is soo fun to shave with..
Straight and a strop, maybe some funky aftershaves with whatever is leftover. Maybe some collectible vintage razors like an auto strop or a rolls that I, currently anyways, have no practical use for but wouldn't mind having around to play with.
:sihns011 Smart men everywhere know the dollar is about to tank. I have been converting alot of $$ to metals.
I'm very happy with my current gear, razors, soaps, brushes, etc. I just ordered a straight and a strop. So I'd order a honing stone. And a DE set for my youngest son. He's very interested after shaving with the rig I sent his brother (a piece at a time). Probably the EJ set with the pure badger brush and the DE87 (my favorite razor). That's what he's getting for Christmas. Hope he's not reading this.
I'd try out a nice Rooney or Simpson's brush and stock up on soaps, blades, and aftershaves. I'd make sure a couple new soaps and aftershaves (or at least scents) made the list. Maybe include another DE razor.
First a Gem traveler set then with what was left over.... well JoAnna would not get much rest for awhile. (from filling orders (Just so this does not end up in the OOC THREAD) Fuzzy
