What's that one thing that noone has an excuse not to have in their kit because it's so cheap? Is it Aqua Velva aftershave? Is it Derby blades? Omega boar brushes? Let's hear it!

How about a classic Gillette - $5 & up gets you in the game, $15 gets a nice one usually. It will last longer than a bottle of AV (though that is a good starter) or a 100 brick of Derbies ..
I am currently using VDH soap, brush and Brut AS. All cheap.

Arko Shave Sticks.
-- John Gehman
+1 on this. Also, when it comes to creams I think Wars is a best buy.
Shaving stick or Shaving soap? I'm a stick guy and I love the Speick shaving stick (as long as it's the tallow-based one).

Williams soap. You can find it at Wally world.
Palmolive shave stick. 59 pence at the local ASDA (Wal-Mart in the UK)
+1 on this, just had a fantastic shave with one of these, a single blade bic sensitive (20 for less than £2 also in Asda) and a cheap Vulfix brush. My flight-safe kit has been decided!
Arko Shave Sticks.
Arko is awesome. I maintain that it would be much more popular if it was more expensive. A good boar brush which will set you back under 30 bucks and most likely in the 10-20 dollar range is a must if you use soaps.
VDH Deluxe soap. $1.54 for me at Wally World. Shaved with it again this morning. Consistently good performer.
I'd say a good, second-hand straight razor. Nothing flashy or near-NOS, mind you, but a decent shaver. ONE of these will last you a lifetime, and then you can pass it on to your son or grandson or whomever for HIS lifetime.

Any of you guys tried using an alum block after your shave to close your pores? It works great for me, and the HERO brand that I found at the local Indian grocery store set me back a whopping $0.99. Even using it every day, it's going to last for months... maybe even years!
Yardley soap with tallow. Picked up for just $.79 a bar and it shaves just GREAT! At that price point there's no excuse to leave this out of ones kit.
How about a travel styptic pencil? 99 cents to cover up your nicks and mistakes.
