I have waaayyyy too much shaving stuff to carry on a motorcycle.
My avatar picture shows all my gear other than blade(s).
I knew there was a good reason why I ride a touring model Harley ....
Shaving is not a hobby for me so my list is pretty simple: One razor (Merkur 38C), one brush (Simpson T3), two Stirling soaps (one scented, one unscented), three blades in primary use (Personna Lab Blue, Crystal and Nacet) and one experimental PIF blade (Viking Sword). Two aftershaves (Proraso and Nivea).
I use a ‘divide and conquer‘ approach. I keep my current ‘rotation’ in the bathroom (mostly in the cabinet) with my ‘stash’ in the shop (out of sight of LOTH)! So, things look ‘modest’ (by B&B standards)!
I also have about 50+ soaps and creams 10 that are in current rotation.

My cache of thousands of blades, dozens of soaps and quite a few other razors, brushes and aftershaves are tucked away in my home office. No way the wife is going to see ALL of my shaving gear in one place. Maybe I’ll hide some in my golf bag. One place she’ll never check.

Smart! Happy Wife = Happy Life!!
It looks as if you need about sixteen more razors to bring this into balance.

2 brushes
5 razors
18 blades (brands)
25 soaps/creams (most are samplers)
I'm pretty happy with my little collection. I'm planning on reducing my razors to 3, and ordering more soap samplers.

I respectfully decline to answer on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me. 
I have lots of safety razors and straights. My latest acquisition is the Blackland Vector SE. It will be my one and only used shaver, unless something better comes along....which I highly doubt will happen. For soaps and creams, I rotate MWF, Stirling, A&E and TOBS. I bowl lather with a two dollar candy goblet. I prefer Semougue boar brushes.
