From the 'Gentleman's Shop', a tube of Trumpers Rose and a tube of Trumpers sandalwood, both for my father, whom I have converted to using a badger brush and Trumper's or Taylor's creams over the last two years.

Goats Milk Soap 2 Bars each - Cucumber Melon and Raspberry Cream
Moisturizing Mist - Angel Type, China Rain, Lick Me All Over

  • One QED Mocha Java shave stick (now I have two in reserve)
  • One QED Anise & Lavender shaving soap tub (I was a fool to sell mine)
  • One QED Bathtub Gin shave stick (hat-tip to Seth!)
  • One 1921 Gillette "New Improved" DE safety razor (an hour's-worth of "elbow grease", and it shines like a new penny; I always say, "A man can never have too many 'New Improved' razors!" You know, in your hearts, that I'm right.)
  • Two bottles (3oz and 5oz) of SCS Sandalwood EDT (you can never have too many of these)
 
Yep that's my starter kit :smile: except for the blade sampler pack from west coast that will arrive soon.

I'm a firm believer in doing lots of research and than buying the best products for the best price that you can afford.It keeps down on the extras that you always seem to accumulate as you keep upgrading your stuff!!

But I still can't get my SWMBO to understand why I needed to change to a $50 brush and $50 in soaps (so far :biggrin: - yeah I probably got AD) to shave with when she knows I only need to shave twice a week and have been doing fine shaving with 2 bottles of Kiss my face and a mach3 for the last 9 years.LOL

That's your problem. If you shave 6 days a week you will be consuming 3 times the product. Seems justified to me. :biggrin:
