Your 5 Piece Deserted Island Kit

[Atrin]

Your plane has crashed on a deserted island, you may be here for a very long time.

What 5 specific products from your shave den do you need to have with you? Assume you can shave in front of a crystal clear body of water, so no mirror needed.


1. Merkur HD Slant-bar
2. Shavemac Traditional D01 Shave Brush
3. Proraso Shaving Cream
4. Feather Blades
5. Nivea Extreme Comfort Shave Balm

 

[Dpflaum]

Gem Bullet Tip Micromatic (loaded of course since I have to use #5 for a scent...)
Simpsons Duke 1
T&H Trafalgar Cream
444 ASB
Pens Opus 1870 EDT

 

[Mr.Max]

As of right now it would be:

1- Gillette 1955 Super Speed
2- Simpson Chubby 2, Two-band Super
3- AOS Lavender shaving soap
4- Red-pack Personna blades
5- Floid Blue aftershave

 

[Walter Sobchak]

I'm going to assume this island is in the tropics.

1. Gillette Slim Adjustable- it can wear many hats in terms of aggressiveness.
2. Simpson Chubby 1 in Best- a great face scrubber, and a beast on triple-milled soap.
3. Mitchell's Wool Fat- the puck can last a LONG time, + it gives fantastic shaves.
4. Astra SP- maybe kinder to me than Feathers day in/day out in prolonged humidity.
5. Proraso Splash (400ml)- tropical means I want alcohol to disinfectant and menthol to cool. Proraso has a nice cool-down effect and it's gentle enough for daily use. 400ml means that on special occassions I'd have enough for my armpits, too.

If I have a working HF transceiver, a GPS device, and a large supply of batteries, I can communicate my whereabouts to rescuers, and be back with all my stuff soon enough.
