If you could only keep one

[blademen]

If you could only keep one razor (Safety or straight) , one brush, one blade, and one soap or cream what would it be?

I would pick:

Muhle R89 safety razor
Kent BK8 brush
Feather Blade
Taylor of Old Bond St: Avocado soap

These are my favorite combinations what's your?

Astra SP (ASR might be right there, too.)
MWF gets the nod over my first love, GFT Coconut soap

Yeah....I could get by with that.

Gillette Tech, Feather blades, Vulifix boar and MWF. It might get a little samey but I could virtually guarantee an excellent shave every time.

One razor? Well, my Feather Popular.

For a brush, I'd stick with my Omega 80067 boar bristle.

As of this moment, I'd choose my U.S. - made Personnas. No, really!

Lather? I haven't yet tried a tallow-based soap. And I'm satisfied with glycerin-based pucks. Still, I think I'd stick with one of the tubes of Indian creams. The Godrej Deluxe w/lanolin is wonderful and the other two brands I've tried so far (Palmolive Lemon and Fa Oceanic) also satisfy.

While I do have a small selection of AS/colognes/balms I could be happy using only generic witch hazel to finish the job.
