Brush: Semogue SOC Mistura
Soap: PAA Awesome Sauce
AS: PAA Awesome Sauce

One of everything?

ONE?

Just ONE?!

(breathes deeply to avoid panic attack. . .)

 

[Vespasian]

Right now, today, I'd just grab the following selection, without overthinking it.
--Fatboy razor
--GSB blades
--Vintage (50 y.o.!) Floris brush
--MdC Augrumes
--Urilemud red and lavender lather bowl
--4711 cologne used as an AS

 

[MickeyFinn]

Pre shave: Proraso Green
Brush: Elite Irish Bogwood w/ Manchurian Badger knot
Soap: tough to pick a favorite - can i use a sample pack? If not Cella Bio
Bowl: Captain's Choice copper
Razor: Feather SS
Blade: Feather ProSuper
After shave: also tough... Brut
Post shave balm: Nivea Sensitive

[Running With Scissors]

Razor: Fendrihan Mk2
Blades: Nacet
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Soap: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Post: Nivea Sensitive Cooling Balm
Bowl: Fine Lather Bowl

 

[Roedeer]

Razor: Game Changer .68 (safety bar), but it wins narrowly against the Rockwell 6S and the R4/R2 plate.

Blades and soap: These are easy, Astra SPs and MWF.

Brush: inexpensive boar (bowl latherer).

Lathering bowl: I would put my vintage one out of harm's way, and use the plastic one during the disruption.

Post-shave: Nivea Sensitive Balm.

Today I chose one of everything and went with

Blackland Vector
Feather Pro
Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
Tabac
Nivea Sensitive

Tomorrow it may be different.

That's a tough choice really, especially in the soap/aftershave department but here it goes:
Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Shavemac 2-band Silvertip
Soap: PAA Cavendish
Aftershave: PAA Cavendish

 

[Atlantic59]

The answer would probably change every week...let's say:

Fatip OC Slant Piccolo
Perma-Sharp Super
PAA Ice Cube 2 pre-shave soap as stick
Klar Seifen shaving soap
Semogue C5 Torga premium boar brush
Dickinson's witch hazel mixed w/ Pereja Limon Kolonya
Pre de Provence balm

 

[BigJ]

Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: GSB (That choice may change tomorrow.)
Brush: Rudy Vey B&B 2-band
Soap: Haslinger’s schafmilch
AS: La Toja (Because it’s getting into serious summer soon.)

 

[nav]

One of each:

Brush: EJ Silvertip Fibre
Soap: MWF
Razor: ATT Windsor H w/Atlas handle
Blade: Polsilver
Aftershave: Anherb balm

Actual:

Brushes: 10
Soaps: 75 (plus 20 in reserve)
Razors: 8
Blade: Polsilver (5,000 blades)
Aftershave: Anherb balm

 

[razorhead63]

Tech razor
7 o’clock SS blades
Omega Boar
Cella
Pinaud AS

 

[DaveHStone]

Razor: Blackland Vector OC
Blade: Feather Professional
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Soap: SV Opuntia 4.3
Aftershave: SV Opuntia

 

[DaveHStone]

Razor: Blackland Razors Sabre L1/L2
Blade: GEM PTFE
Brush: Paladin El Dorado
Soap: Martin de Candre Rose
Post: Thayers WH Aloe
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

The 2 base plates would make it like having two razors.

Hey @GNR , so you actually prefer the Sabre over Vector. WOW

 

[DaveHStone]

Razor: RazoRock Lupo .72
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Brush: Simpson T2
Soap: TOBS Sandalwood Soap
AS: Prorasso Green Lotion
Frag: Bleu de Chanel EDP (I have a couple of other samples to test but I'm pretty sure I'm about to buy a big bottle of this)

Looks like I'm not the only crazy guy who digs TOBS Sandalwood + Proraso Green combo

 

[Sotiris_A]

Henckels Friodur 72 1/2 - my favorite SR
Simpsons 59 - the only brush I use
Mitchell's Wool Fat - the only soap I use lately and one of the two in my inventory
Herold 185wj strop - my only strop
Aqua Velva - that's the toughest one to choose since I would probably try to sneak in Floid Vigoroso and/or Pitralon Classic during wintertime

 

[Tomo]

Razor: Blackland Vector OC
Blade: Feather Professional
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Soap: SV Opuntia 4.3
Aftershave: SV Opuntia

I guess I’m going to need the OC version now...

I’ve really been digging the Vector recently for mid-week shaves. So quick and efficient.

Honestly, to me it's superb, gives a smoother shave.

I know this game is YMMV, but I tend to buff a lot and the OC allows lather to penetrate deeper, between the combs.

In a word, it's outstanding.

Hey @GNR , so you actually prefer the Sabre over Vector. WOW

I actually sold the Vector. I am planning on getting a Vector Ti and didn’t need both the SS and Ti.
I’m actually really liking the GEM blade format razors. I love the Sabre and have been experimenting with some vintage ASR razors, so far I like the MMOC the best of the vintage razors.

I do prefer the open comb format generally. It just makes sense to let the lather through to the blade. Sadly the OC option wasn’t available when I bought my Vector. I’ve been asking myself a lot recently if it’s possible to beat perfection. Logic would say that it not but still I wonder if it’s possible to improve on my current kit.
