Gillette SuperSpeed
Derby Extra blade
Vulfix pure badger brush - The Mayfair
Williams mug soap
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue AS

Williams is a good soap to use when I have the time for a leisurely shave. With a little bit of extra effort, I get thick creamy lather from one of the cheapest shave soaps on the market. Life is good. :eatdrink004

 

I used Williams for, I don't know, 20-30 years? That and the same tired old bristle brush. Besides the canned crap, it's all there was! Or all I knew about anyway. Since I started down this VERY slippery slope, and have discovered the others, I've used it only a couple of times, but I still have some. I'll have to try it again, now that I have a real "soap brush"!

*Another razor I am trying to rescue from oblivion. I have quite a few of these now, almost all have turned out to be worth the effort. I'm going to try my hand at rescaling a few that the blades are worth keeping but the the scales are shot.
