Item you love but don't use very often?

[abies]

Do you have something in your shave kit that you love and don't want to give away but don't use very often? If so, why don't you use it more often?

Haslinger’s ‘tallow’ schafmilch is a wonderful soap that seldom gets used because I am hoarding my remaining pucks!! It is so good!!

 

[The Barber 1981]

Straight razor. I'm not always comfortable with it. And I tried different types, but I don't feel it. I don't know why.

 

[geneaut]

Sir Irisch Moos shave stick. Trying to make that nugget last.

 

[lloydrm]

All my gem style razors.

 

[Merchant Seaman Z]

PAA Ice Cube, WHEEKS Shavette

 

[RRGGMM]

Gillette Fatboy. The razor has sentimental value, and I love the shave, but I have other razors that I like as much or more.

My Merkur Progress. There's nothing wrong with it, and it gives me wonderful shaves. I just have other razors that enjoy more.

 

[NorthernSoul]

Out of curiosity, I accumulated a lot of different soaps (and creams). If I put them all in rotation, I would never finish anything. So, some hard, stable soaps sit on the shelf waiting for a future day. I did give a few away to family & friends.

Too much variety is definitely a first-world problem.

Same here. Shaves well and comfortably, great audio feedback, but is missing something that would draw me to it more.

Alt-Innsbruck aftershave / eau de cologne .... Love the menthol kick and the scent, but its also a quite over-powering scent, don't want to smell like that on a daily basis ...

 

[Jim99]

I will add that I love my Schick L injector, but it rarely sees use. It’s in the rotation, but I often skip over it every time. However, I don’t plan on parting with it.

 

[The Blackadder]

Zingari Navigator soap/ balm. My favorite scent, but sometimes it lights my face up

 

[MrSpeedy]

My B&B badger shaving brush. It's a wonderful brush but I've transitioned more to synthetics. I suppose I could replace the knot.

The list

• Frontal cortex
• hippocampus
• Travel Raptor
• Ever-Ready 1912
• Saponifico Varesino samples
• Ever-Ready 1924

Got some non-Personna GEM-shaped blades showing up soon. If they’re in same league as the Personna/AccuTec GEM blades, that list will shrink to just the brain parts

 

[Halfbeard]

Proraso alum. I use it only when I got nick or weeper.

 

[Wgg2017]

Shavemac 2 band and 3 band badger brushes. They feel wonderful on the face. But they also require more soap and are harder to build lather with than the synthetic I regularly use.

 

[Legion]

Safety razors. Still hoard them, but mostly only use straights.
