One razor, one blade, one brush, one cream

Razor:
straight: Antelope 5/8
DE: Grandfather's German Tech
blade: IP
brush: Kent BK4
cream: Castle Forbes Lavender
soap: Palmolive stick
AS: Swiss Pitralon
ASB: Pre de Provence ASB

 

Currently:
Razor-Merkur HD
Blade-Tigers
Soap-Permafrost
Brush-Omega #6224 Pure Badger
Aftershave-Pashana Original Formula

I have a habit of changing at a moments notice. I'm currently working my way through Giovanni's sample pack of blades and the Tigers are working pretty good for me.

 

Razor: Merkur 37G Slant
Blade: Astra SP
Cream: T&H West Indian Lime
Brush: Kent BK12

...but I would certainly really miss all my other wonderful stuff!

 

Chubby 2
Merkur Progress
Derby
Trumper's Sandalwood SC

That's all I need and I'm happy.

 

Brush: Omega Silvertip
Razor: Parker 22R V1
Blade: Sharp
Cream: Noxzema lather
Soap: Erasmic bowl
Aftershave: (very difficult to say, perhaps Alt Innsbruck)
Aftershave balm: Anherb conditioner

 

OK, this is not my GoTo Setup but if I was going to choose only one and that was all I would ever get and there are many others reasons why, it would be this.

Razor: Bill Ellis Custom 1/4 Hollow 7/8 Irish Point Straight Razor w/Yellow Heart Scales

Blade: N/A

Brush: Shavemac 23mm Handmade Nickel Ivory Pure Badger Shave Brush

Soap Cream: Crabtree & Evelyn Soap

 

Merkur Classic straight bar

Derby

no brush

Musgo


That's pretty much where I am now. I actually prefer the shave i get from Molle and the scent of Taylor's Rose, but Musgo is the best at covering all the bases (performance, scent and ease of use).

I don't miss my brush. Molle does not work with one and Musgo and Proraso are markedly better without it. Only Taylors seems to like the brush, but its fingertip performance is not driving me to spend long green on badger hair.

Everyone has contributed nicely here. I have found this to be a nice resource for possible acquistions. I am curious as to what shaver may change the course of history. A bold statement indeed.

It might be a spelling error, the correct could be

change the curse of history

Ken is an optimist!

 

Atta boy cow boy!



My choices:

bic
tweezerman semi-badger
ivory bath soap

 

Did you have a shadow (of a doubt?)

Well Alllllrighty then,

I will vote for:

The Razor: ANY 1957 or earlier GILLETTE Super Speed...their handles don't rattle ! "Ain't a bit of doubt about it" (with a name like SuperSpeed?).

The Blade: hmmm, I suppose a Dorco ST300 (It'll NEVER bite you!)

The Brush: another tough call, I'll go with a short-to-mid loft, small-to-medium knot Omega "Pure Badger" like their model 6223, 6224 for example.

The Cream: Proraso Classic Green.

Not the most expensive, exotic or exciting selection...but IF (and only if) I had to choose just one...

There you have it!

Almost like asking: "If you had to lose ONE finger..."

 

Razor: Markur Progress
Blade: Feather
Cream: Valobra
Brush: Simpsons Tulip
Soap: Gold Dachs

Alfred

 

I have to try some Gold Dachs. I read good stuff about it.
