When I got into wet shaving in 2012, I bought an Above the Tie double-edged razor, a Semogue Owners Club badger brush, and a puck of Mitchell's Wool Fat and stuck with that setup for nearly a decade without any additions, other than picking up a Gillette Fat Boy I use now and then. As much as I loved my ATT razor, after a decade, I was ready to try something new, and of course, I returned to Badger and Blade to get myself up to speed. The rest, as they say, is history! While I still tend to stick with a particular setup for several days or weeks, I expanded my soap options and rotated through them with every shave. My new Above the Tie X1 Slant has replaced my 2013 R plate DE ATT razor as my primary, but I still DE shave occasionally and added an open comb plate and other DE plate options. I love the Feather DE blades, but I picked up several DE blades, as Badger and Blade enthusiasts recommended, that I enjoy trying, and I have been surprised that several have been quite good. When I heard Mithcell's was changing the composition of the legendary Wool Fat Shaving Soap, I ordered four pucks of the original formula, and just today, I loaded one of the four into my Mitchell's container. Considering all my soap options and how long they last, I could have enough shaving soap to last the rest of my life! Here are some pictures of my kit assembled for an impromptu photo shoot.
