If I could only have one, why on earth would I be hanging out here???
I'm too new at this game to have any strong opinions yet. Ask me again in 39 years (the amount of time I spent messing around with bad hardware and software). I started with my dad's Black Beauty. Should have stuck with that.
I could live with my:
Simpsons Classic 2 Best
Merkur Progress
Feather blades
Sampsons Marisol balm
Soaps & Creams ??? Hm? Jury is still out on that. I've tried Proraso Sensitive soap, balm and pre-shave ... meh. Arko stick ... handy for travel. Madame Scodioli Step Right Up soap ... wife likes the scent ... I like the glide. Hyrdolast ... I know CAR stimulates "controversy" in these parts and the stuff is messy when I mix it in his shave cloth, but it is slippery as hell and smells good. Osma ... got this one as a freebie with an order from TSS ... it's okay. Waiting on Santa (via VintageBlades) for some grapefruit TOBS and Joe/IB for a few RazorRock samples and a tub of XX.

Keep in mind that I'm new and on a budget LOL
Razor- Slim-adjusted to 9
Blade- Shark Super Chromes
Brush/Soap- Van Der Hagen (all I have tried so far)
Pre-shave- Nothing ATM
Aftershave- I use Old Spice first then when that dries I use Mennen's Afta: Fresh (blue label) from Wolly World.
BTW: that brings up a question...I have been shaving with D/E for a little more than a week now and have noticed that aftershave burns a lot more then when I used cartridges. I don't mind, I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong.
Thanks
