My dad, a lifelong Italian hardcore wet-shaver, for as long as I can remember always used a Merkur, Wilkinson razor blades, a Kingsley boar brush, a tube of Palmolive Classic Shaving Cream and Old Spice aftershave.
I remember my grand dad on my mom's side to the best of my memory used a straight edge razor, a generic boar brush and Prep Original shaving cream or some cheap random generic powdered shaving soap he used to buy at the only pharmacy in a small coastal town in Central Italy.
Both were face latherers. I wish I had kept some of their shaving supplies after they passed on. The old timers had it all figured out.
