I am Merkur fanboy but have decided to broaden my horizons by trying other razors too. So today I used only stuff recently bought from fellow members of B&B.
I got a Stahly razor, which works fine, from taco8slo. That is my first wind up razor and it is a hoot! However for today, I combined the Stahly head with a Griest brass handle - a lovely piece of engineering. This is a great combination but to be honest I think both the handle and the head could work brilliantly on almost anything else.
I chucked in an Astra SP blade which someone chucked into a packet, though I do have a load of them anyway.
My brush today was Simpson Eagle from StuMcB - this is a super soft brush and I like it.
The cream I used was a Truefitt & Hill sampler from joshmv. So much cream - I could have done my wife's legs too with it (she has legs like bear skin) (actually she does not, I better delete that before she reads it). I finished up with a Real Shave Co balm (sorry, forgot who sent it).
My usual would be fatboy or Merkur, Kent BK 2 brush, Tabac soap, Prosaro balm.
Anyway, I love receiving packets with "new" toys to try but usually I would only change one thing at a time, to make comparisons easier.

Australia has no problems so HOP TO IT! Start collecting at your fairs and most important of all enjoy.
