Your Favorite Shaving Item

What is everyone's all time favorite shaving item they have in there den, if you had to choose?!? Wither it be a razor, blade, soap, cream, aftershave, brush or bowl! Pictures are welcome! Don't be afraid to tell us the story behind it either

 

This is my all time favorite as of now. It may change tomorrow not.
I've decided to use it on special occasions only. Like days that end in "Y" Till I got my Becker I had never used a scuttle just an old cappuccino mug from the 80s and it didn't really hold the heat
Now I get it

 

My absolute favorite item, is my Steve Woodhead shallow mug.



It has a perfect size, and the shape and form fits my hand perfectly. Weight is good also, so I can re-whip the lather on the counter without holding the mug.
I stumbled upon it by accident. For months I'd been looking for such item, alas to no avail. Then suddenly on ebay I saw his shop. Ordered it immediately.

 

My Grandfathers Gillette new OC. I often think about him, in a sense it's my little way of connecting with him.

 

If I had to chose just a single shaving item that, more than any other, brings a sense of excitement, joy, anticipation, and yes, even a healthy respect, it would have to be my most aggressive DE razor, the Mühle R41 Grande. Why? Because on the days on which I decide to incorporate this razor into my morning routine, I know that it will require my full attention and care. I also know that I will be awarded with a fantastic shave. Since I don't use a straight razor (yet!), using the R41 is about as close as I can get to the 'razor's edge' while using a DE shaver. I feel that if I can master this tough little DE razor, then my transition to SRs may be less traumatic.

 

I'm stuck between three and they're all in this picture. I guess I have to give the nod to my Waterford brush. I have no idea why, other than I lusted after one from the moment I saw it. I love the heft and I try to forget that if I drop it...

 

My EJ DE89 Barley Handle. This was a RAD killer and even though I like other razors, this is by far my favorite!

 

'Tis a bee-yoo-tee-ful brush!

 

At the moment I'd have to give the nod to my scuttle

 

Is that a Moonstar scuttle (I think that's the name)?

 

hey! I have that same brush! i didnt know what the brand it was until now! I have searched all over the internet trying to figure out who made a badger hair with a glass handle. I found mine at thrift store about 2 months ago and i love that brush, its one of my go to brush's.

 

Seeing a lot of 'scuttle love' so far in this thread….

 

It's a Waterford Crystal brush with silvertip badger. I think they made the last ones in the 90's. Shouldn't matter to you unless you like carts, but they also make the matching razor handle.

 

Dovo Natural, why, because half hollows are my favorite and the others in my small collection are full hollows.

 

I refuse to pick just one item!

 

Nope a cart won't touch my face again haha, after researching the Waterford I seen that they had that as a set. Funny thing is the lady I bought this from said the lady that brought it to her flea market to sell it said she had another piece that went with it but she dropped and broke it haha so I bet it was the cart handle for sure. I love that brush it's one of my best finds and probably one of my favorite items!

 

Haha I here you there! It's hard to decide I'm thrown between my newly discovered "Waterford" brush and my old spice shave mug I bought from a co worker that he used when he was in the navy. He took the mug as far as Japan!

 

Yes. Moonstar Pottery and you can find her on Etsy.

 

It's my soap. My own recipe, with good lather and a scent that is exactly what I want.

 

Thats a "HARD" question "paw paw" If I "HAD" to pick only "ONE" irreplaceable item as of now at least it would be my Weber DLC shave head...
