only use cheap barsoap for washing hands)

Looks like you are going to need more room!

I'll stick with my suggestions of Taylors Mr. Taylor and Shaving Shop. Great stuff!

Randy
 
How long do yall think I'm stocked for? Actually, I think the aftershaves are going to last me much longer than the creams and soaps I have.
 
My question is, what brush should I get? I only have one and would like something high-end (in quality more than in price). I don't need anything too big since I have a goatee... the 22mm knot on my Vulfix works pretty well, but I have no comparison.

Also, my Merkur blades don't seem to do so well in my Gillettes. Any blade advice? Gracias!

Onto my inventory...

Brush:
Vulfix #2233 Super Badger

Razors:
Merkur HD
Gillette '57 Superspeed
Gillette Adjustable
Nationwide Campus Injector
M3

Blades:
Schick Injector (2 pkgs)
Merkur DE (1 pkg)

Creams:
Proraso Green
Musgo Real
GFT Limes
Tabac
Arko Commando
C&E Sienna

Soap:
Taylor's Sandalwood
Arko Shave Stick

Pre-/Postshave Skin Care:
Shave Secret Oil
GFT Coral Skin Food
Witch Hazel
Cornhusker's Lotion
Turkish Alum Block
Pinaud Styptic Pencil
Small Electric Kettle
Stoneware bowl (for building lather)

Colognes:
Lolita Lempicka au Masculin
Chanel Egoiste Platinum
Lots and lots of GFT, T&H and Penhaligon's Samples
(and Knize Ten and Endymion decants on the way!)
 
Inkling,

I suggest Shavemac. You can get a variety of 23mm brushes for very reasonable prices. My 23mm Shavemac is about the same as my slightly smaller Vulfix, because it has more of a lightbulb shape. Also, look at the "custom" section on the Shavemac site, if you want to mix it up a little as far as handles go.

A lot of other people are going to suggest Saville Row. Never tried one, but I hear they are great, so you probably will not go wrong there. A lot less choice in handles, though.

Good luck.
 
Well, since others are doing the same, maybe I'll post my inventory to...

Razors:
Gillette #66 Aristocrat
Gillette 40s Super Speed (several)
Merkur Long Handle Classic
Gem Micromatic TTO (tapered and straight, bar and comb)
Gem Jr. (Fat handle)
Gem 1912
Gem "G. Bar"
Gem Micromatic Push Button
Schick Injector E, yellow/orange marbled handle

Cream:
Taylors Avocado and Eton College
Trumpers Sandlewood
T&H Ultimate Comfort
Cremo-Cream
Various samples from Scotto

Soap:
QED Vetiver, Lemon & Cedar, Sandlewood, and Pine &Cedar
C&E Sweet Almond Oil and Sienna

Colonge:
My collection is pretty weak in every area (except maybe Gem razors), but this is really embarassing. All I have are a few samples from Scotto: Woods of Windsor (nice, but makes me feel a little old), Musgo #2 Oak Moss (love it), L'Occitane Vetivyer (mmmm mmm good, and manly), Mr Taylor (see WoW), C&E sandlewood (nice, but I wish it smelled more like sandlewood)

I am not sure if the new server could handle it if Joel, Ron and Scotto posted theirs...
 
I need another dimension of time and space to wrap my brain around how much stuff I have. Better not to even think about it less a migraine ensue. Actually, I treat it similarly to "not naming the Devil"; if I don't think about it maybe it won't draw any more of SWMBO's unwanted attention.
