Only One of Each: Brush, Soap/Cream/Razor/Blade/AS

[azrichter]

If, for some reason (Congress? ) you could only have one of everything for shaving every day for the next 2 years, which would you choose?

Brush
Cream or Soap
Razor
Blade
Aftershave

For me:
Omega Boar
KMF Mint
EJ R89L
Astra SP
Alcolado Glacial

Brush: RV shaving custom finest
Soap: This is a tough one between Cade and Vintage os. Going to have to pick the Vintage Old Spice
Razor: Fatboy
Blade: Astra SP
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice blue

We'll include every nation that has facial hair and government of some sort.

Are there more than one "vintage williams"? I have the tallow second version...just wondering if that's the good one.

I haven't tried too many brushes, so I'd just stay with my Vulfix 2234 because it's great with creams, which is what I'd pick...here goes.

Vulfix 2234
Truefitt & Hill 1805
British Flair Tip
Medical Personna
Nivea Sensitive

 

[BWagner]

Razor: Mergress
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: SOC
Soap: Cella
Cream: TOBS Jermyn
AS: Nivea Sensitive Balm

...and heaven help us if it ever comes to this!

I'm thinking of going minimalist for a while...it's a good exercise.

Nope, that's the current formula. The vintgae boxes lists tallow first, or in the case of really old ones there's no ingredients list at all.

I answered a similar thread a couple of days ago by refusing to commit to just one razor, but what the heck. I'm only consistent some of the time.

Tweezerman badger
Williams soap
Schick adjustable injector (reasonable compromise)
Modern Schick injector blade
No aftershave (hey, can I add another razor if I don't use this stuff?)
