I'm starting a blade trial (rather, just started) and I needed a place to keep up with my own reflection. To those of you reading, this will be pretty boring and EXTREMELY subjective.
Hardware:
E2 Fatboy - Settings will vary, At least 1/week (FF Friday)
40's Style SS - Less frequency than the fatboy, but #2
J1 SS flare tip - may slip in on SS Saturday
K2 Slim - Least likely to be used
EJ DE89 - If I'm on the road (3 piece for the win!)
Brushes:
RR Plissoft Monster - My go to for now
Perfecto Best Badger - Only for hard soaps, or when I get the badger bug
More - Searching for a cool handle to restore with a badger or boar, still looking to try out a boar as well (we'll see)
The Lather:
TOBS Mr. Taylor - My current favorite, but I'm working through some AD
CO Bigelow - If I need the wake-up
Williams Mug - Used once, Liked it fine, will try it out some more
Arko - Haven't tried yet, but I will this week, it may move up
Pre/After Shave:
Homemade Preshave oil - works for me, hot water, shower, oil, lather...
Pinaud Clubman - Most days
AV Ice Blue - When I'm feeling fresh!
The Blades (not this order):
Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
Gillette Silver Blue
Gillette 7 O'Clock Black
Astra SP
Voskhod Teflon
Personna (Israeli red)
Personna Med Prep
Perma-Sharp - Super
Rapira - Swedish Super Steel
Lord Platinum
Feather
Polsilver Super Iridium
Kai
Tried Derby's already, not awful, but not great.
