An observation about Wet Shaving in general, and Happy Member?

[DougK]

I like to think of myself as reasonably minimalist. I only have one DE razor, a Gillette Super Blue, plus one as a backup in case I break the first one. I only have a couple of pucks of shaving soap (Cade and a locally-made soap I forget the name of), three brushes (all synthetic, one is a dedicated travel brush from EJ), a few different cartridge handles (Guard, Trac II, and Bic Flex 5 Hybrid), and a CJB AC-format kamisori straight when I'm feeling frisky. I don't keep a ton of blades or carts on hand so that I have a little leeway to change things up when I run out of whatever I'm using or feel like doing something different for a few days. Overall, though, there's not much shaving gear in my bathroom at any one time and I steadfastly refuse to hoard supplies that I can't use up within a few months. Works for me, but you do you and be happy.
