Post your desert island combination! Limit 5 items please.

[Loveelvin]

The ship is sinking and you only have a minute to gather your belongings. You can only bring one razor, one kind of shaving cream, one kind of blade, and only couple of aftershave products..

for my sensitive skin, I really like the alcohol and fragrance free Arko shaving cream, and aftershave cream,

The Sledgehammer, for a very close, irritation free shave in two passes..
Perma Sharp Supers, (Astra SP would also be just fine)
and Humphreys Witch Hazel...

the above combination is perfect for me.

what is your desert island combination?

Here's the stuff I would need. I included a brush, since I was allowed 5 items.

Gillette the new long comb
ogallala stick or arko
7 O'clock blacks
ogallala aftershave lime and peppercorns
Restored made rite persian vase handle with 20mm TGN finest knot (my current favorite) OR Omega pro 49

Wow, only 5? O.K. here goes:

1. Merkur slant DE

2. Vulfix 2234

3. Pure glycerin shave soap

4. witch hazel

5. Feather blades

I believe I could get by with the above, but of course I'd want much more.
