What is your favorite shave setup? I only have 2 razors and one brush, so far. The Parker 22R, with Rooney badger brush were a Father's Day gift from my wife, and a late 40's Gillette Gold Tech that I just picked up at an antique store - my first vintage razor! They both are valuable to me.
I really like the Red Personnas and the Astra SP blades in my Parker. I'm going to try a Feather in my Tech tomorrow.
I've used VDH luxury soap, Blades Grim Smolder, and a couple of Chiseled Face soaps. They're all great, and are so much better than canned goop. Right now, I'm really digging my CFG Orange Creamsicle, and the CFG Midnight Stag. I still have 8 other CFG samples to try...

I've only been wet shaving since this past Father's Day, and I really love it, so far. Like with so many others, going back to a DE razor and brush has turned an awful chore that I did maybe once a week, into something that I look forward to doing every 2-3 days. My whiskers don't really grow fast enough to shave everyday.
I've learned so much about wet shaving by lurking here, on Reddit's wicked_edge, and certain youtube videos. I'm looking forward to participating here, learning more, and maybe even helping someone else get started in wet shaving.
