    Current Equipment

    Razor: Merkur Slant 37G
    Blade: Feather
    Brush: Vulfix 2234
    Cream: C.E. Bigelow
    ASB: Nivea for Sensitive Skin

    I've only been at this for about two months now and this collection is pretty much what I started out with. The cream and brush are the only ones I've tried. I do have some D.R. Harris Lavender on the way. I've put a Schisler custom brush on my Father's Day/Birthday gift list. The razor is a successor to a Futur. It's by far a better shaving tool in my opinion. The blade is my current favorite out of a rather large sample pack. However, the quest for a better shave goes on.

    Welcome!

    Welcome to TSD, smoothie6 (can we call you slick for short?:D)

    The gold Slant is indeed an excellent (and classy-looking) tool, IMHO. With a Feather blade ( or any good sharp blade) they give me an excellent shave, and are really good at ATG.

    Because Feathers have become price-fixed, I suggest you consider the Astra Superior Platinums, or the Treet Blue Specials. The Zorric blades are quite sharp as well. Look here for these, and check out the blade sampler packs as well. You might try #2 and add a pack of Zorric to it.

    I also have a Futur and a Vision, and like to shave with them also. But I must admit that these three razors all require different techniques, and it may be best to stick to one until you gain experience.

    Razor: Merkur HD Slant
    Blade: Derby
    Brush: Vulfix 2235
    Cream: TOBS Almond
    AS: GFT Limes Skin food
    Cologne: Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce

    Missed it, it's easy to bring it back!

    What I like so far:
    Razor: Gillette Red Tip
    Blade: 7 AM
    Brush: impartial b/w Tweezerman and the generic chinese one that came with my stand
    Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum Lime and Peppercorn
    Cream: Proraso
    (Very close call with the TSD Signature soap and TSD Lavender Cream, and I'm not just kissing the butt.)
