Late '40s Aristocrat
Derby Extra
No-Name Pure Badger
D.R. Harris Arlington
Old Spice Classic

The gear that needs more love:
The Aristocrat is my Wednesday Blues shave. It's a great razor and it should see much more use than it does, but I always find myself reaching for the Super-Speed instead. The Telecaster is a fantastic player, but doesn't see much use because its case is always behind the others for space/stability reasons.

Had a great BBS shave with the new Gem Feather Weight. It was as if there was no blade in the razor. I did two passes and a touch up for a baby's bottom smooth shave.
