Your supreme setup: 1 brush / 1 razor / 1 soap / 1 aftershave

If you have to run for your life tomorrow (hopefully not!) and you’re lucky enough to have an admission ticket on Noah’s Ark what setup would you pack?

Easy, keep it simple:

Pretty much my setup, I could skip the aftershave and just do with Witch Hazel

See here now good shaver...you can’t make such a bold declaration and not give us a look-see at this object of ingenuity!

Out of what I own or have tried? That is not an extensive list.

Brush: I have two. I use neither.

Razor: Gillette ball end Tech. I have newer Merkurs, a Fatboy, a Slim, etc., but the simple Tech would be my one. My 3 Techs have already lasted a lifetime. They'll outlast me. My blades would be the Astra SP.

Soap: Arko shave stick. That's why I don't use brushes. I rub the stick against my face and stubble, then I lather up with a wet hand. I may try the Palmolive sticks soon, as I hear they smell better than Arko's "military-industrial complex" fragrance.

Aftershave: Alum block. Yep. Just that. Odorless and antiseptic. And it is the best underarm deoderant I have ever used. The things last a long time.

Pretty utilitarian, I know.

Razor: No contest here...definitely my Gillette NEW with my Cooncatbob Bull Mastiff handle. It's the only razor that consistently gives me an excellent shave, and I rather regret I only got one of Bob's handles before he passed.

Brush: My favorite brush is an Ever-ready with a TNG Finest knot, but I'd probably actually take my Semogue Owner's Club boar. It's wonderfully soft and scrubby once it's broken in, and it pairs well with hard soaps, which is important because...

Soap: Tabac. I generally love Italian soft soaps more than hard soaps, but I'm so addicted to Tabac's scent and the lather it makes is amazing. And finally...

Aftershave: Italian Amber Floid. I still have a big bottle of it, and it's by far my favorite aftershave. Smells like the barbershop of your dreams, and leaves my face feeling great.
